Go Nissan.

Ew it's uglier than the concepts from a year or so ago...

i'll take the S13 anyday over that.

"The next-generation Silvia will supposedly be built atop Nissan's popular FM platform (370Z, Infiniti G, etc.), come in a 2+2 seating configuration and tip the scales around 2,800 pounds."

This does not compute.

Concept drawings, lets hope some major changes come.

Caravanshaka · 12-11-2009, 03:14 PM

dude, they murdered the silvia...wtf?

My favorite 240 would be a blend of the S15 front with the 180sx rear 2/3's...that's just sexy. Put in a 250 hp turbo 2.0 liter and keep it between 2600-2800 pounds and I would get one

exactly! I had a 180sx with an SR20DE-t running 14 lbs of boost for a few years. i would take that car in a heartbeat if it was modernized with interior and a little bit of styling.

Nissan getting a bit scared of the FT-86 eh? I wish they had RWD cars like this when I got my RSX-S in HS. These two cars are going to be riced out I'm afraid if they make them around $25k. The potential is great for serious enthusiasts tho if they are lightweight and you can go FI heavy etc.

i wanna few 40's if i ever get some money to burn...

1999 Silvia
1997 240SX
1994 240SX Coupe with S13 Silvia Front
1994 240SX Hatch with S15 Silvia Front

They specifically say in the article it won't be based on that concept.

If it's coming out in 2011, I doubt it's a case of being scared by the Toyota - both cars have no doubt been in the works for years.

And yeah - I don't see near 2800 lbs. on this platform.

phelan · 12-11-2009, 03:38 PM

mmmm...sileighty...

too bad i had to sell the 240 to get the Z...

vipor · 12-11-2009, 03:45 PM

i'll be uploading pics of my 97 240 and it's front-end rebuild sometime soon-ish.
