The Figaro was introduced at the 1989Tokyo Motor Showunder the slogan"Back to the Future", and the name "Figaro" was a reference to the main character in the playThe Marriage of FigarobyPierre Beaumarchais. It was built by a Nissan special projects group called Pike Factory, which also produced other niche automobiles such as theBe-1,PaoandS-Cargo. It was based on theNissan Micraaka March. Only four colours were available: Topaz Mist, Emerald Green, Pale Aqua and Lapis Grey. Each colour symbolised a season of the year. When the car was launched, Topaz Mist was the least popular colour. There were only 2,000 produced in Topaz Mist hence they have become increasingly rare.

The Figaro was equipped withleatherseats,air conditioning,CD playerand anopen roof. It was designed by Shoji Takahashi, who won a design competition with the car.

Only 8000 were originally available with an additional 12,000 added to production numbers to meet demand. Prospective purchasers had to enter a lottery to be able to buy one of these cars.
