In 1991 the Nissan Figaro came on the market. For example, the first 8,000 copies went so smoothly that Nissan decided to build another 12,000. The Figaros were sold to those who had drawn a winning ticket in a lottery organized by Nissan. At the time, the Figaro cost about 25,000 euros. A total of 20,073 Nissan Figaros were produced.
The basis for the Figaro was the Nissan Micra. So in terms of chassis etc. it is equal to the Micra. However, it is different in terms of engine due to its turbo engine. The same applies, of course, to the entire body of the car. The car drives very comfortably and is comfortable with its fairly large leather seats. The technology was very good, as known from Nissan. Opening the convertible roof is also easy and light to do. Unlike other convertibles, this is therefore easy to do by one person. The completeness, luxurious finish and good quality of the Nissan Figaro ensure that everyone who has ever driven a Figaro immediately falls in love with this beautiful Retro convertible.
The Figaro is a car that does not necessarily have to be in winter storage: the opposite! The car has an excellent heating and air conditioning system, heated glass rear window and is easy to drive in the winter months. All in all, a nice, nice driving car that can be driven all year round and is also stable in value. Especially if it is bought in 1 of the 4 original colors.
Also the Nissan Figaro will become increasingly exclusive because there are simply not 20,000 of them left. All Figaros have the steering wheel on the right. They are equipped with air conditioning, an open roof, a radio/CD player (the first car to which this was equipped as standard), a three-speed automatic transmission and leather seats. The 1000 cc engine is equipped with a turbocharger. The car has a top speed of 160 km/h.
Alongside the Be-1, PAO and S-CARGO, the Figaro is 1 of 4 unique models produced in the Nissan Pike Factory.
The Nissan Figaro has come on the market in just four colors. The colors symbolize the four seasons. Until recently, it was thought that the production numbers were divided into 3 x 6,000 pieces and 1x 2,000 pieces for the Topaz Mist. But later it became known that there is another distribution key. The exact production numbers are:
Lente
Zomer
Herfst
Winter
A total of 20,073 pieces were produced. The Figaro’s were given a chassis number from FK10-000051 to FK10-020123. Production numbers are also known per month. Each Figaro is known to produce with the same specifications.
Retro-futuristic design, irresistible looks and rows of eager buyers who want to get one first. It’s not the latest smartphone – although they can be accused of being small – but the vehicles produced in Nissan’s Pike Factory. And although these cars are no longer new to the market, their legend has been in stock since 1985.
Backed by a thriving economy and an optimistic outlook on the future, Japanese design began to push the boundaries. In this climate, Nissan tried to create an innovative vehicle and presented the challenge to a special design team of internal and independent designers in the newly founded Nissan Pike Factory.
Nissan had a winning concept in hand and commissioned more designs at the Pike Factory. The name “Pike” was even chosen for the medieval spear to evoke the idea of leading new, advanced design. And so the Pike Factory created the Nissan Figaro, Be-1 and S-Cargo.
A fixed convertible that Nissan shamelessly marketed at the Tokyo Auto Show with the slogan “Back to the Future”, the Figaro had standard features such as European-inspired styling, leather seats and a CD player in the dashboard. The Figaro was an inspired blend of classic luxury and state-of-the-art technology. As you may have guessed, all 20,000 copies were sold out before there was even one car on the road. If you didn’t manage to get there, you’re out of luck: Nissan stayed with its principles and the Figaro produced only one model year.
