DECEMBER 2000
Stephane SchwarzIn December 2000, Nissan requested Stola s.p.a. the construction of another concept, the Kino, for the next Tokyo show.
A very innovative prototype with electric drive and a very complex seat and dashboard adjustment system.
The rear doors, with electric pantograph opening mechanisms were no less complex, in fact the Nissan Style Center specifically requested that there would be no classic external horizontal slide guide.
The use of natural materials in the cabin were innovotive for the time compared to the competition; the dash made from Sardinian cork in particular.
Shiro Nakamura together with the designers Schwarz and Takano direct the works that are once again carried out at the Secoli Family F&S, with a mixed team of modelers of the two companies always coordinated by Vittorio Della Rocca and Lucio Giarolo della Stola.
The painting will be done in the Stola prototype department, and the final assembly in F&S.
