- The Tata Curvv was used as a base for a fictional project by Zephyr Designz.
- The Indian coupe SUV received extensive visual modifications, including a widebody kit and new wheels.
- The digital design study would only make sense as a concept or a one-off racecar build.
Tata recently introduced the Curvv as an affordable coupe-SUV for the Indian market. While the model is among the least likely to ever receive a performance-focused derivative, independent designer Zephyr Designz transformed it into a sportscar.
The fictional renderings depict a low-slung four-door coupe with a widebody kit and large wheels, looking nothing like the original. The greenhouse, roofline, doors, and lighting units of the Tata Curvv are carried over, but everything else is fully redesigned.

The new bumpers sport larger intakes, albeit following Tata’s original design language. The highlight is the fender extensions on both axles, giving the Curvv a significantly wider stance. Furthermore, the coupe SUV has been slammed to the ground, with a set of large wheels that wouldn’t look out of place in a supercar. The new shoes make a huge difference in the proportions, especially when compared to the factory model.
At the back, the designer added a diffuser and quad tailpipes, showing that the build is based on the ICE-powered Curvv, rather than the EV. With such a sporty-looking exterior, the Tata Curvv would certainly need a performance upgrade over the production model, which is expected to use a turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline engine.

While one could argue that the fictional project shows the tuning potential of the Tata Curvv, things are more complicated in real life. Such a build would require significant modifications, not only on the bodywork of the coupe SUV, but also on its chassis.
The massive alloy wheels would never fit inside the stock wheel arches, meaning that a lot of cutting would be required, alongside a revamped suspension geometry. If you add the cost of numerous bespoke body panels, the whole project would likely be deemed too expensive for anything other than a concept or a one-off racecar build for the sake of individuality.
Despite the lack of prospects in the real world, Zephyr Designz’s Tata Curvv project is another reminder of the cool-factor of low-slung coupes, that will always outshine the hugely more popular (and practical) coupe SUVs and fastback crossovers.
