The Nissan Saurus was a concept car designed by Nissan Motor and unveiled at the 1987 Tokyo Motor Show.[2][3][4] It was a roadster featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine,[1] with bulging fenders and a design reminiscent of the Lotus Seven.
Nissan marketed the Saurus as part of a pair along with the Jura minivan concept, introduced as a practical complement to the roadster. This approach was very radical for the Japanese market where space for two automobiles was unrealistic for most, so it was safely assumed the Saurus concept was never meant to see production.[citation needed]
