Tata Motors today unveiled the Bolt Sport at the Geneva Motor Show. As the name implies, this is the sporty version of the Tata Bolt hatchback and features a 120bhp motor and a host of cosmetic changes to the interior and exterior.  

The Bolt Sport is powered by the same 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine but power has been boosted to 120bhp and 17.33kgm of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The engine now comes with a remapped ECU and a high-flow exhaust system to achieve the boost in power. The car also receives tweaked gear ratios to enhance the engine’s responsiveness. Tata has equipped the Bolt Sport with disc brakes all round, along with a sportier suspension which gives the car a lower stance.

The Bolt Sport’s front features a less rounded bumper with a prominent lower lip and air dams, along with darkened projector headlamps and 17-inch split-six-spoke alloy wheels to enhance the sporty look. On the sides, the car features dedicated air vents on the front fender and a side skirt, while at the rear it receives a new bumper with diffuser styling and a brushed aluminium strip above the number plate.

On the inside, the Bolt Sport comes with black leather interiors with red contrast stitching and red inserts. Other highlights include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear-shift knob with sport pedals, and a sunroof, along with a Harman infotainment system with voice recognition and SMS readout option. Also on offer is the three-drive mode Multidrive system, as seen in all Bolts.

In the safety department, the car receives dual front airbags, ABS and Corner Stability Control.
