We argue that the $t \bar t$ production asymmetry observed at the tevatron might be simply explained if the standard $SU(3)_c$ QCD theory is extended to $SU(N_c)$ which is spontaneously broken at a scale just above the weak scale. The extended gauge interactions amplify the radiative QCD contribution to the asymmetry and can potentially explain the observations if $N_c \stackrel{>}{\sim} 5$. This explanation requires a relatively low $SU(N_c)$ symmetry breaking scale $\stackrel{<}{\sim} 0.5-1$ TeV. We check that such a low $SU(N_c)$ symmetry breaking scale is consistent with current collider data. Importantly this scenario predicts an abundance of striking phenomena which will be probed at the LHC. The $SU(N_c)$ model also illustrates the idea that a beyond standard model contribution to the $t \bar t$ asymmetry might arise primarily via radiative corrections rather than at tree-level.
