Recently, we got the news from relevant channels that Nissan's classic sports car Silvia is expected to be revived, if all goes well, the car will be unveiled as soon as 2025, but with the advent of the era of electrification, the new car may be transformed into a pure electric sports car.
Previously, Mattew Weaver, vice president of Nissan's European design department, had released an official rendering of the pure electric version of the new Silvia sports car, which incorporated elements of classic models, and the purpose of this move was to imagine in advance what Nissan's classic models might look like in the future after they were electrified.
The latest news is that the revival of the pure electric version of the new Silvia sports car is accelerating, and as mentioned at the beginning, if all goes well, the new car is expected to debut in 2025, still a classic-style coupe, and is expected to have strong power performance.
As you can see through the renderings of the new Silvia pure electric version, the car incorporates a minimalist design style and classic elements of the original Silvia, and the muscular lines of the body are like the elements of historical homage, while maintaining the shape of a two-door coupe.
The original Nissan Silvia
A brief introduction to the Nissan Silvia, a front-facing rear-drive coupe, was unveiled at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show and then launched in 1965, sharing chassis production with the then Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311, which is the predecessor of today's Nissan Z series sports car. Silvia went through 8 generations until it was discontinued in Japan in 2002.
