The windshield has been inclined as much as possible to give the vehicle a sleek, fast profile. Bold, elongated and blacked-out headlamps accentuate the Figo Concept’s sporty appearance. Sweeping, curved lines moving from the front to the rear of the vehicle create a sense of movement. Light-catchers along the sides of the vehicle, giving the Figo Concept a robust and muscular presence.
