Nissan Silvia

The 7th generation of Silvia, the most recent model, was released for sale in January 1999. This car was invented with the concept of “The car for looking, riding, driving, and feeling the emotion”, and inherited the basic model of rear wheel drive sporty coupe from its previous generations. From 3 number size of previous generations, the body size was downsized to 5 number frame body, and it enhanced more pleasant driving. When it comes to exterior, it has featured a flowing form and equipped a low hood and a low rear pillar. For the interior, tachometer was relocated on the center of meter panel, and depending on the grade, boost gauge or oil pressure gauge is equipped on the front pillar so that it could enhance more present driving experience. In addition, by having a rounded air conditioning outlet, all shut type louver and titanium tone on several parts, it expresses its sporty design. Engine type is consisted of a naturally aspirated 2 liter inline four-cylinder, and intercooler is available as an option. The transmission is available in 6-speed MT, 5-speed MT, and electronically controlled 4-speed AT, and it has a front strut and multi-link rear suspension. Due to improved rigidity on mounting portions and several reinforcements on several portions, it enables drivers to have a nimble driving performance.
