Paying homage to the rich history and unique design of the Nissan Figaro, The Figaro Shop invites discerning clients to embark on a journey of automotive luxury and self-expression.
The Nissan Figaro, born out of the Japanese ’boutique’ movement in car design, is a true testament to innovation and creativity. Japanese designer Shoji Takahashi, broke the mold when he created the Figaro infusing a distinct charm that transcends time and trends.
The original Nissan Figaro design team, gathered the best and shiniest bits from a variety of European cars, fusing them into an almost-cartoon whole. From its enchanting round headlights adorned with playful eyelids, to its smooth curved lines and chrome detailing, the Figaro exudes personality and charm reminiscent of classic cars from decades past.
With The Figaro Shop’s “Restored & Remastered” offering, clients have the opportunity to transform their Figaro into a bespoke masterpiece that reflects their individual style and taste. From selecting the perfect paint color to refining interior details, each Figaro restoration is a collaborative endeavor between client and artisan craftsman, resulting in a truly unique and personalized driving experience.
The Figaro Shop’s Restored & Remastered product offering new for 2024, seamlessly blends new and refurbished components, culminating in a experience akin to driving a brand-new vehicle. Each “Restored & Remastered” Figaro boasts a new engine, larger battery, and the replacement or reconditioning of all other essential under-the-bonnet parts, ensuring optimal performance.
Additionally, modern conveniences such as heated seats, a Double Din Air Play stereo system, rear parking sensors and charging ports are integrated as standard features, all luxuriously enveloped in premium Italian soft grain leather.
The Figaro Shop launched their first Restored & Remastered build for a client from Miami, Florida to audiences at Fish Brothers Nissan Dealership.
Torie, the lucky owner of the first build, envisioned a Figaro adorned in the iconic shade of orange synonymous with the esteemed French fashion house, Hermes. Inside, a palette of neutral ivory leather fosters a bright, airy ambiance befitting of her Miami locale, accentuated by Hermes orange piping and stitch details, seamlessly weaving a cohesive creative.
Adding an extra layer of opulence, ivory alcantara lines the roof and diamond stitching on the seating imparts a contemporary flair, resulting in a truly beautiful and completely unique mode of transport for Torie.
