PUNE, Dec 2: Innovation does not require prerequisites like a bag load of degrees and expertise.
This is exactly what Sanjay Gondhkar, a 25-year-old engineering student from the city based Dnyaneshwar Tantrik Vyavasay Shikshan Kendra has proved.
Virtually robbing all the automobile giants of their share of visitors at the Auto 988242;, Sanjay stood beaming at the exhibition hall where he displayed his research product 8211; an imposing three-wheel sports car. Required to undergo further additions, the car has so far cost only Rs 20,000 , which Sanjay has managed to generate with some help of his friends.The three-wheel mid-engine sports car combination with one rear wheel drive has been conceptualised and designed by Gondhkar. The car, having duplex chair and front two steering wheels is inspired from Scorpion8217; by Grinnal which has a powerful 1000 cc BMW engine on the tail.
8220;I started working on this three months ago. It will require two more years for completion,quot; Sanjay told The Indian Express adding that the car, once ready will have speed of 140 kms per hour and costaround Rs 1.5 lakh.
However, funds are a problem. The enterprising youngster has been running to automobile giants for sponsorship but till date none have come forward.
