I've never heard of it before (or seen one). Looks like a fun car. I think it would have been more fun if it had a 5 speed. 8) :D :thumbs_up:

Not authorized for import to the USA, which is why you've never heard of or seen one.

20,000 Figaros were made in [only] 1991. It was a fiberglass body, split-convertible roof (you could open either side or both), right hand drive/front wheel drive car. The perfectly "square" (68x68cc) SOHC straight 4cyl 1000cc turbocharged engine made 75hp and 77ft/lbs of torque, which pushed the 1800lb car from 0-60 in about 13 seconds with a top speed of 106mph. The car had 24 pounds for every horsepower, and 12 inch wheels. Quarter mile ET was 19 seconds if you had the time to wait around. The 3 Spd auto was the only gearbox offered, but it still got 57mpg fuel mileage, which is 6mpg better than my Mini can manage.

Not sure what one would be worth today, but it has to be more fun than a golf cart.
