The Nissan Figaro was first introduced to the world in 1989 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Presented with the slogan, "Back to the Future," this Nissan coupe was designed to transport drivers back to a simpler time with its retro design elements. It was also given the name Figaro to pay homage to the main character in the play The Marriage of Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais.
What colors do the Nissan Figaro come in?The 1991 Nissan Figaro is available in four colors, each one representing one of the four seasons: Lapis Grey for Winter, Emerald Green for Spring, Pale Aqua for Summer and Topaz Mist for Autumn. Produced for 1 year only with a limited 20,000 model run. With the current scrapage rate in the UK and Japan of approx. 700 per year, there are fewer cars left to enjoy with each passing year.
What can be found inside the interior of the Nissan Figaro?Although extremely retro on the outside, the Nissan Figaro is very modern on the inside. That's because the Figaro comes standard with leather seats, power windows, power steering, power brakes and air conditioning to provide for a comfortable journey. It also comes standard with a CD player to help you enjoy your favorite music on the go. And if you want to enjoy an open-air drive, simply manually retract your fabric soft-top roof and let the fresh air in!
Under its hood, you'll be happy to find a strong 987cc MA10ET I4 Turbo engine waiting to be revved. This engine can produce 76 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque, while still returning up to 32 mpg. Plus, the Nissan Figaro comes standard with a 3-speed automatic transmission for smoother gear shifts, and can reach up to a top speed of 106 mph.
