New Delhi, January 6 (ANI): Adding that extra spark to the Auto Expo 2012 that kicked off yesterday, was Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The actor unveiled 'Avanti', the country's first supercar, created by car design guru Dilip Chhabria, in New Delhi. The car, that draws 240 bhp of power from a Ford EcoBoost engine, will sport an ex showroom price tag of 3 million rupees. Uncharacteristically cheap for a supercar, the DC Avanti will commence production from 2013, with 300 units set to be fabricated and manufactured in the first year. Earlier in the day, the iconic motorcycle brand, Harley Davidson, announced a new entry into the Indian cruiser bike market, the 1600 cc named 'Street Bob'.
