Anyone forsee a New Silvia / 240sx to come ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MarkRacerX · 02-10-2012, 03:31 PM

I read a while back, there was rumors of Nissan bringing back the 240/Silvia. Def curious now, the GT 86 / FR-S / BRZ they will kick it in high gear and bring one back! Def be cool stuff and a market for them !!!

Anyone hear any rumors lately?

rumours that I last heard was that Nissan was thinking about bring thr Datsun name back as their affordable cheap tuner car brand and make a 240sx revival if the ft86 proves that there is a solid market for it

Thus why I am waiting about 2 years for the FRS/BRZ.

Honestly, I want to see what Nissan can really do nowadays. The new 2012 GT-R is amazing, but the previous models (R35) can't compare.

I mean, Juke? Convertible crossover? 370z? What has happened Nissan!

well correct me if i'm wrong...but have you guys seen the new nissan commercial of the nissan leaf...at the end of commercial there was a "Datsun 240sx concept"

some say its the new 370Z...others say the new 240sx...

Hmm 200SX (no turbo for obvious reasons) sounds like it would be a suitable rival, if Nissan will ever get around to it.

I thought that was jut an EV they are working on, it's something like a Tesla Roadster... more then a 240

Heard rumor that Z will go hybrid next generation. The concept above might be just Z hybrid.

Mr.Jay · 02-10-2012, 05:44 PM

From what I remember that pic is for a future Z

This is their concept for a Datsun 240z

Terrible IMO

Now that would be cool stuff!!!

Yeah 240SX approx 27XXlbs , be cool to see a modern twist of it like the FR-S / GT 86 /BRZ idea , small / light Rwd modern 240sx/silvia be Great! Esp as there are soo many 240's out there for drift / racing events, def Popular Car!!

YIKES that 240Z concept is horrible....

More Competition the Better, just pushes automakers to make one better than the other!!!

Curious who/what will come out 1st to compete w/ BRZ/ FR-S car...

At least that seemed to have contributed to the 350z concept:

And the last time I seen anything about a new Silvia was from this picture in 2003:

I hope the silvia actually looks like a sports car next time. I never liked its profile at all.

TylerLieberman · 02-10-2012, 06:15 PM

The Silvia is a badass platform to work with. It would be cool to see Nissan do something and bring it back, but I have a feeling it would be ugly as hell, and the price would suck.
