This is a car that is truly special in every way… because of its inherent ability to capture the attention of people resulting in a contented smile in their faces. A 1989 product of the Tokyo Nissan Motor Co. Ltd, the Figaro is a unique retro car that has the power to transport you to ages back.
The intention behind the creating the Figaro was to bring out a unique coupe which could impart a feeling of trendy sophistication to its owners. Designed for the Japanese market, it was unveiled during the Tokyo motor show (1989), and became an instant hit with the people. The craze also caught up in the UK market, where it became something of a cult figure with an exclusive fan following.
Based on the Nissan Micra, this cute convertible is powered by a twin-cam 987cc 4-cylinder 1 litre petrol engine that gives an output of 75 bhp and is considered to be very fuel-efficient. But more than its technological specifications, the popularity of the Figaro is enhanced more by its classic and elegant looks. The white leather upholstered seats along with the retro radio/CD player positioned in the centre takes us back to the memorable 60s.
