Is this the S16 Silvia? - Drifting forum

Autospecs · 29-12-2007, 08:40

Best Car magazine in Japan claims to have scooped the new Nissan Silvia. While the 2-litre FR layout drift machine is only a Photoshopped speculation, it is known it will be powered by a Renault engine, possibly the 2-litre turbocharged unit from the Megane R26 that's good for 225hp. That should mean 0-100kph in around 6.5 seconds and a terminal velocity of 240kph.

If you take a good look at the cover you'll also see a revised front for the RX-8 that will be revealed at Tokyo Auto Salon in January.

deep in my heart I hope not but as it seem probably yes - it's a pity to see how Nissans will turn out into Renaults faster and faster

Anth4130 · 29-12-2007, 09:25

Oh dear god please don't

Maybe it's a new Micra! Dx

If it is true, I hope its as good as the 350z for its price

Mechanix · 29-12-2007, 10:03

Looks like a Benz , runs like Renault ? Ow god what a nightmare.
But i dont think it ll have renault engine.Nissan would go for a better and bigger engine.At least it ll be a 2.5lt.

ooh what joy.

Seems as time goes by things get worse...

matt · 29-12-2007, 10:51

If I was a betting man I'd say the tech spec quoted above was about right

koukiboy · 29-12-2007, 11:02

If it's real, I'll sell imediatly my S14 to buy a Supra

Jord · 29-12-2007, 11:26

I quite like it.

koukiboy · 29-12-2007, 12:02

Yeah, it's a nice design, a little like a mini G37, but with a Rino engine...

And why not a DCI engine for Europe when they put a Rino engine in it

it would be a serious concurent to the Peugeot 407 HDI and Renault Megane Coupe DCI (with the same engine lol)

initial_j · 29-12-2007, 12:06

gay gay gay! im much more excited about the new hyundai. 4 pot 2 litre turbo, RWD, defo a future drifter

matt · 29-12-2007, 12:15

so hang on... you're excited about a hyundai with the exact same layout as the nissan that will probably look like ass, but not the nissan with a proven engine and all nissans experience with FR platforms????

I'm pretty certain its gonna be waaaaaay better than any previous S-body (which are super gay standard!) both in looks and performance.

initial_j · 29-12-2007, 12:19

if it looks like that? thats fooking hideous!

anyway the car im talking about, doenst actually look that bad

Yeah but the Hyundai was orange.

The lines look similar to the Altima coupe, but thats driving the wrong end...

Mechanix · 29-12-2007, 14:38

Does anyone know about G37 Coupe ? Its front desing is quite similar to this S16 picture.
Check it

At least headlights are the same
