In North America, the Nissan Silvia was most recently known as the 240SX. There is a small chance it will return. Ivan Espinosa, Nissan’s vice president of global product planning, wants to create a new Silvia. The sports car would be put above the Nissan Z, and Espinosa said it would need “good enough power at the right price.” The automotive world is abuzz with the potential return of the Silvia. The automotive world is abuzz with the potential return of the Silvia. In an interview, Nissan’s VP of Global Product Strategy, Ivan Espinosa, said that his company plans to make a new Silvia, which will be sold in North America as the 200SX and 240SX. For more background, here’s a longer quote from Espinosa: “There is a chance. It will be hard, but I must come up with plans for doing these things because they will be good for both the brand and the customers. If I can find the right recipe, we might be able to make it work. Since the R35-generation GT-R was taken off the market, the Nissan Z is the only other sports car the company sells. Based on what Espinosa said, the new Silvia would have to have more power and cost less than the Z, which has 400 horsepower and a base price of $43,500. Also, it would cost a lot less than the GT-R, which was taken off the market and started at about $123,000. Even though the Silvia is just a dream right now, it may come back as an electric vehicle. The fact that a CEO of such high importance is interested in a new sports car is a testament to Silvia’s significance. About 25 years ago, the last brand-new Nissan 240SX was sold in our country. The potential return of the Silvia is a matter of great anticipation. While the timeline for its return is yet to be decided, the fact that it’s even being considered is a source of hope for many.
