Nissan Silvia

The Nissan Silvia is the name given to the company's long-running line of sport coupes based on the Nissan S platform. Although recent models have shared this chassis with other vehicles produced by Nissan (most notably the European 200SX and North American 240SX in the S13 and S14 generations, and 180SX in the Japanese market), the name Silvia is not interchangeable with the chassis codes.
==Café Description==
The Silvia is the most elegant and sport coupe in Nissan's storied roster. The three you have assembled here were each exceedingly popular in the '80s and '90s. The stability provided by their rear-wheel drive layout and the affordability for which they were initially known are two reasons for their popularity. Really, it is a splendid collection that brings together the best of t he Silvia series.
Let me start by telling you a bit about the original model - the first-generation Silvia from 1965. A genuine coupe, it was built on the engine and chassis of the Nissan Fairlady 1600. Its beautiful design is consistent with that of European sports cars from the '60s and '60s. By the way, do you know where the name 'Silvia' comes from? It's actually taken from a beautiful and romantic goddess of Roman mythology. This S13 Silvia is five generations removed from the original model. Sold between 1988 and 1993, it notably served as the base car for the 180SX, a coupe known for its retractable headlamps Along with the Toyota Celica and the Honda Prelude, the S13 became famous as an affordable two-door coupe. Affordability aside, its rear-wheel drive layout, powerful engine and innovative suspension contributed to its superior handling, giving it a lead role in Japan's mountain racing scene.
Japan is home to many enthusiasts of tuning and customization. So this SilEighty, which makes use of parts from the Silvia and the 180SX, is considered to be very cool. Outside of Japan, Silvia cars have been marketed under names like the 200SX and the 240SX. Slight variations on the Japanese Silvia in terms of design and engine specifications, the 200SX and the 240SX share with their counterparts all the qualities of an elegant and sport FR coupe.
The successor of the popular S13, this sixth-generation S14 debuted in 1993. Despite its slightly larger body, it retains the sharp lines and elegance of its namesake. One mustn't forget that it also features an updated SR20DET, first introduced in the later S13 models. Later iterations of the S14 feature an even sportier design language and this trend continued with the seventh-gen S15. Slightly more compact than its predecessor, it offers smooth handling that draws on the car's basic attributes. Design-wise, it is instantly recognizable as a sports coupe. Improvements to the suspension, engine, and body rigidity all contribute to a fine driving experience. Since production of the S15 ending in 2002, Nissan has yet to unveil a successor model. Nevertheless, each Silvia is worthy of belonging to Japan's most elegant and cool line of sports coupes.
