Concept & Design Brochure

Back in 1990, Nissan produced this 14-page A5 brochure showing early sketches and detailing of the car. In addition to familiar images, the publication also covers interesting items such as airflow and additional strengthening and rigidity of the chassis. Divided into sections including Concept, Exterior, Interior, Mechanism of convertible top & Specification. Nissan must have been looking for 4 colours to represent the seasons and rather the publication reveals that these were inspired by gemstones. Emerald Green is based on the crisp green colour of Emeralds, Pale Aqua is the blue colour of Aquamarine, Topaz Mist is the calm beige of Topaz and lastly Lapis Grey is the deep blue-grey of Lapis Lazuli.  Thanks to Japanese Member Yuki Saga for sending us a copy of the brochure.
