Nissan EXA

The second-generation EXA adopted radical styling with a wraparound glass canopy creating an airy cabin atmosphere. Based on the Pulsar platform but positioned as a sporty personal coupe. Turbocharged variants offered impressive performance from the front-wheel-drive chassis. The unique greenhouse design and retractable headlights epitomized Japanese design experimentation of the era.
