Nissan Silvia

The Nissan Silvia is a series of small sports cars produced by Nissan, beginning with a hand built coupe of which only 554 were made, mainly in 1965, before production stopped in 1968. The line returned with the S10, the first mass produced Silvia, on the compact rear-wheel drive S platform, and continued through the S110, S12, S13, S14 and S15 generations. Export versions were sold as the 200SX and 240SX, some of them under the Datsun brand, and the Gazelle was a twin sold at different Japanese dealerships. Nissan stopped producing the S platform in August 2002, and the S15 was the last car to carry the Silvia name and one of the last Nissan developed sports cars with a traditional front-engine rear-drive layout.
