Put a trunk on the Alto, and it'll weigh just 800-850 kgs. Even with a full load of passengers, that's still just over a metric ton. For city trafffic and overtaking maneuvers under 100 km/h (60 mph), the measly 47hp of the Alto is more than sufficient to overtake slower traffic. It's as fast, in fact, as many 1.0-1.3 vehicles, and certainly feels faster, because it's so small
