Around September 2021, Japanese media reported that Nissan was interested in bringing Silvia, one of the classic signature car lines of the past, back to the table. In recent years, major car manufacturers around the world have seen a wave of "retro" trends, reviving car series that were once popular with consumers but discontinued for some reason. Now, according to further information, Nissan does want to launch a new generation of Silvia, and will make this drifting famous colt on the stage again with a purely electric design.
The major car factories are somewhat popular but have been discontinued car series, in recent years, the original factory seems to find that instead of painstakingly thinking of a new car name, it is better to take out the classic car series that originally has a certain degree of popularity and reuse it. Like Ford Bronco, GMC Hummer, Ford GR Supra, GR 86, Acura Integra... Etc., with modern car technology to inherit the past classic car series name and product characteristics, after the launch of the market has indeed been generally praised. Some of them even revive only the "name", which has nothing to do with the original classic, and Mitsubishi Eclipse is an example.
The first Nissan Silvia coupe was born in 1965 and began to gain popularity in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America and other markets in the 1980s. Excellent power delivery, a wide range of modification options, rear-wheel drive settings and a handsome two-door shape are the car purchase options for many young people. Later, in order to streamline the brand's large number of different platforms, coupled with the average sales performance. That's why Silvia was discontinued.
Perhaps seeing the resurgence of the 86, Nissan looks intent on reviving Silvia, and instead of still using a fuel-powered system, if a new car is really launched in the future, Silvia is more likely to be equipped with a pure electric power system. Japanese media Japan's Best Car Web reported that according to the internal information obtained, Silvia will be re-launched as an electric vehicle and may be unveiled in 2025.
Considering that Nissan has also carried out electrification transformation operations in recent years, the first pure electric retreat Ariya has been released, and there are many new pure electric cars waiting to be played, so if Silvia is an electric car, it will not be surprising. Not only that, the design sketch released by Matthew Weaver, vice president of Nissan Design Europe, in 2021, in addition to seeing some classic elements belonging to the Silvia in the 1960s, the front of the car does not have the shape of an intake dam, which also implies that this is an electric car. As for the answer, it may be known soon.
