TheNissan Foria is acompact 2+2-doorquad coupeconcept car revealed byJapanese automobile manufacturerNissan at the 2005Tokyo Motor Show inspired by the 1965Nissan Silvia.
Theretro-styled Nissan Foria concept was revealed in October 2005 at theTokyo Motor Show, alongside theAmenio minivan,GT-R Proto,Note Adidas, andPivo microcar concepts, a coupe with two hidden doors in the rear for easier rear seat access.[1] The overall design of the Foria is inspired by the 1965Nissan Silvia CSP311 coupe and was designed by Richard Winsor, a senior designer at Nissan.[2]
In August 2008, a new compactrear-wheel drive successor to the Nissan Silvia inspired by the Foria concept was planned. However, development of this car was later suspended in February 2009 as part ofCarlos Ghosn's pledge to reduce costs and the Foria resultingly remained as an unproduced concept.[3]
The Nissan Foria has afront-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, and uses a paddle shiftsemi-automatic transmission. The concept also features Nissan'sfour-wheel Active Steer and 18-inch wheels. The interior of the car is finished with gray fabric and a mix of brown and ivory leather and the exterior is painted in a light blue.[1][4]
