A latest report of Autocar India reveals that the performance-version of Tata Bolt, which is slated to make its India debut later this year, will make its maiden appearance at Geneva Motor Show and the car will wear not just the sporty body kit, but will also see changes in the engine line-up.

The performance version of Bolt will use the same 1.2-liter four-cylinder turbocharged Revotron petrol engine, which currently generates 84bhp, but will be re-tuned to put an output of 120 bhp and the torque is also expected to go up.

To handle this, the engine will come mated to Fiat's C501 gearbox. The suspension of the sporty Bolt will also be altered and it is likely to flaunt a 17-inch alloy wheels, body kits and flared body work. Inside the cabin too, the Bolt will get a sporty touch, however more details are awaited.
