Datsun has showcased the GO rally car at the 2016 Auto Expo with all the rally apparatus. The Datsun GO has a roll cage along with a rally-oriented steering wheel and bucket seats. On the performance end, the car uses a bigger leak proof engine mated to a sequential manual gearbox used on the hard-core rally cars. It also has hydraulic brakes which is again a prominent part in rally-oriented cars. This is the same model that Datsun uses for participating in rallies and hence it is just for display.
The Datsun GO came to India in 2013 as a very affordable entry-level hatchback which stood against the Hyundai Eon and the Maruti Alto 800 with a 1.2-litre engine against the 800cc used in the competitors. However the hatchback still struggled with sales. The Nissan-owned automaker also showcased the GO-Cross at the expo which may change the game if launched here.
