Yahoo Autos The Nissan Pao Is a Cartoon Hero Turned Real
Starting in the year of the Ferrari F40, 1987, and finishing by 1991, Nissan's subcontractors, the Aichi Machine Industry plant only produced four limited-run city cars under the "Pike Factory" label. These Micra-based retro wonders were known as the Be-1, the S-Cargo, the Pao and the Figaro, and arguably, the Pao is the coolest of them all.
Customers got a one-liter engine producing 52 horsepower, linked to a traditional three-speed automatic. Also, enough space for four, even five if the people involved are small and daring enough. A textile roof and a rack for your additional cargo, a Panasonic radio, a glorious clock on the dash and four available colors, all from the pastel range. Nissan's specialist factory built 51,657 Paos solely for the Japanese market. They sold out in less than three months, and that was it. No Paos were made after 1991. Driving one today is an absolute blast, especially downhill.
