Maruti 800 is a small city car that was manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India from 1983 to 2014. The first generation (SS80) was based on the 1979 Suzuki Alto and had an 800 cc F8B engine, hence the moniker. Widely regarded as the most influential automobile in India, about 2.87 million 800s were produced during its course of which 2.66 million were sold in India itself.
For nearly 30 years, it was the best selling car in India. But the Maruti 800 has been officially Discontinued,as it did not meet specs for the BS4 Norms. The last model of the red Maruti 800 car was rolled out from the company's Gurgaon plant on January 18, 2014, and sent to a dealer in Shillong.
