5th Gear: Nissan May Revive 240SX?
Nissan’s design boss Shiro Nakamura revealed to Aussie car mag Drive that the brand may look to downsize its sports models, which could include a revival of the Silvia that was sold there as the 200SX and here, stateside, basically, as the 240SX. “I much prefer smaller sports car,” says Nakamura. “It is the time to look at that [smaller engines]. With 370Z, we still don’t know next generation will have a larger or smaller engine.” Nakamura says reducing the weight of the next generation Nissan sports cars is a priority. How cool would a Nissan 200SX be?
yaa I don’t see it doing any damage to the value of our cars. If anything, the unveiling of the new sports coupe might bring the spotlight to our old cars and that in-turn might have some positive results
yah but im not surprised… like whoever up there said… (to lazy to scroll)
competition with the GT86, BRZ, Genesis 2.0T… and who know what other companies are thinking of…
i like it. and i really hope its a FR chassis max 2.2L… min 2.0L… turbo… coupe that looks as good as its earlier models… itll be hard to beat the s15s looks…
I’m not surprised. With the launch of the FR-S/FT86 I can see them being pressured into realeasing something to compete with it. I think it’s awesome, and I hope it does happen.
