Exclamation *NEW s16... Silvia Concept from Nissan!



Dam, is nissan doing there thing or what? With the GTR hitting US shores in late o6-o7 (confirmed by the Nissan COO) & now the new s16? This is only better news. I really hope they release this, im a huge nissan fan and even huge silvia fan. My fav cars will and always be the R34 GTR and s15 Silvia. If im lucky, ill get to own both, but intil than... ill keep saving more on that GTR!

Throw in the RSX. And then using the worst elements of each.


I don't see a viable market for the 240, at least not a RWD one. It would have to be price- and power- comparable to an SRT4, without the ability to leverage the cost efficiencies of using the VQ35 and needing a fair amount of platform development.

you guys know how concept cars are... they're always extra ugly for some reason, but it'll look hot when the final product hits. remember how we all were when the e8 released? "oh god, it's so ugly! bring back the 6 or at least the 7!" it grew on us.
either way, i REALLY doubt that this would be the final design for an s16, or that it would be so huge. it looks like a g35 on crack.

Its like a G35 ate a Prius and shat that thing out. That is God awful looking and the designers at Nissan need to be shot. They are trying to base everything off of the 350Z/G35 and they need to quit while they're ahead.
