San Motors

San Motors revolutionized the concept of motoring in India. Although a number of Indian companies were operating in India post independence, they only catered to the needs of the rich and the privileged. But all that was changed with the arrival of San Motors.

Today, Indian automobile market is flooded with a number of Indian and foreign car makers catering to the needs of different sections of the Indian society. After the liberalization of Indian economy and with the opening of FDIs, India became an automobile manufacturing hub for the world. But a section of the motoring enthusiasts were neglected, especially the sections that sought the thrill of motor sports. San Motors catered to this niche segment and included such products in its line-up that would inevitably appeal to the motor-sports enthusiasts. It all started with the introduction of San Storm 1.2. The Storm was designed by the world famous Le Mans Design Group comprising of Gerard Godfroy, the designer, Phillipe Belou, the engineer, and Christophe Bhir for build and prototyping. San Storm or San Storm 1.2 from San Motors was India's first sports car and was designed in France by the LeMans Group specifically to suit Indian roads and buyers.

Powered by a powerful 1149 cc Renault engine and at 60bhp, the car has an extremely low power-to-weight ratio and thus it is very fuel efficient. This product of San Motors is packed with comfort and safety features like power windows, power steering, child safety locks, front fog lights, rear defroster, air-conditioner etc. Optional features like power seats and sun roof are also compatible with this car. The San Storm 1.2 from San Motors epitomizes the joy of driving clubbed with comfort, economy, and style.

The fiber glass body, chassis, and other components are manufactured in Bangalore, India. The assembly lines and paint shops are located in Goa, India. The Indian base of San Motors acts as a manufacturing and exporting hub for countries like Nepal, Cyprus, Malta, Bermuda, and the UK. The popularity of the San Motors is rising steadily and so is its product base. The company is planning to roll out a new model of its landmark car in India by next year. San Storm Motors' exclusive dealer in north India is P and P Sanstorm.
