Tata Motors, which was founded in the year 1945, has completed its 75 years in India. To commemorate this journey, Tata Motors has launched a special 'Founders Edition'. This edition can only be purchased by Tata Group employees.
According to a report, 'Founders Edition' will be available in existing models of Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Nexon, and Harrier.
What will be special about buying these models?
Every ‘Founders Edition’ car will come with a special badge bearing JRD Tata's signature.
These cars will have four insignias — one on the front fender above the wheel, one on the C-pillar, one on the tailgate, and the last one the dashboard.
All five models will come with a new logo with a blue background — which is the brand's signature colour.
The group employees buying the cars will also get a postcard from the 'Founders Edition' that depicts the brand's journey along with a photo frame.
The main features of the car will remain unchanged.
