Next-gen Nissan Silvia to bow at Tokyo Motor Show?

[interfooler]

Is Nissan really bringing back the Silvia? The concept looks fantastic!! I hope they really build it. The S15 Silvia was a great sports car and it's cars like this that we really need from Nissan, an affordable rear wheel drive coupe. Let's see what Nissan have in store for us this coming Tokyo show.

I hear ya. I've been wishing for a new RWD Nissan for ages.

Dang that render looks the business! 

While nothing is official so far, it’s rumored that the next-generation Silvia S16 will feature Nissan’s innovative variable compression ratio turbo engine (VC-T).

Over 20 years in the making, the new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged VC-T engine is able to seamlessly raise or lower the height of the pistons reach. As a result, the displacement of the engine changes and the compression ratio can vary anywhere between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency). The sophisticated engine control logic automatically applies the optimum ratio, depending on what the driving situation demands.

Infiniti been spitting them out.

Cant say they've been ignoring the RWD demand. Obviously Lexus doing a better job of capitalising.

I think he means affordable RWD. As in, starting from $25,000. We can only dream...

Not since the days of RWD corollas has there been cars that cheap (taking into account inflation etc). 86/BRZ is as cheap as it's gonna get, and personally, I don't really want one.

the s15 was 40,000 when it was new so there's no way this one will be cheaper, the only rwd vehicle I can find new for around 25 is bottom of the range utes

^ that

Our only hope for an awesome affordable RWD sports car, is for one to come out, mass produced, and depreciate like hell so in 5 to 15 years time they'll be affordable

Doubt they'll have anything, will let you know when I'm there in a few weeks
