"Nissan Silvia" - the history of seven generations

"Nissan Sylvia" is a passenger car belonging to the Japanese world-famous concern. Throughout all years of production, this model was equipped with a variety of four-cylinder engines with gas distribution DOHC. And this is not the only feature that distinguishes this car.

The 1964-1968 issue is unique in its kind

The first thing worth noting is the 1st generation. And this is the "Nissan Sylvia", produced in the body of CSP 311. His debut took place in 1964 in the city of Tokyo. The car was assembled by hand, taking as a basis the coupe Fairlady. In this car installed a powerful 1.6-liter engine from Nissan. In 1968, the issue ceased. For the entire period, only 544 cars were produced. And each of them could boast of a unique manual molding of the body panels. Many cars remained in Japan, but still 49 cars were exported to Australia, and then another 10 to other countries. Do not specify why so few cars were released - the phrase "manual assembly" says about everything.

Issues of 1975-1983

Following the first generation went the second, and then the third. The representatives of the 1975-1979 release had the body of the S 10. It could be recognized by more traditional lines: calm, classical, smooth, creating a pleasant image, unlike cars produced at that time by Mazda and Toyotoy. In terms of exterior design, "Nissan" stepped beyond its competitors. Machines were equipped with engines for 4 cylinders. Also, the manufacturers endowed their works of auto art with both 4-speed mechanics and a 3-speed automatic. By the way, these cars were very light, even tons were not in them weight.

The third generation of the car "Nissan Silvia" was more successful than the previous two. He was released in the back of a three-door hatchback and a two-door coupe. Initially, it was planned to install a rotary engine there, but it did not pass the quality test, and therefore was replaced by the Z20, an ordinary piston engine. But in the early 80's the concern released a "charged" version of "Nissan Sylvia." It was a coupe with a 2.4-liter engine.

Issue before 1995

More and more popular became the car "Nissan Silvia". Photos of cars produced at that time show us pretty good models, made in a good classic design. But the fourth and fifth generations could boast of more modern machines. Nissan Silvia those years has undergone great changes in terms of appearance, and in terms of technical characteristics. Now the car was equipped with engines, the volume of which began with 1.8 liters, and ended with three. The machine became four-speed, and the mechanic acquired five speeds.

The fifth generation became even more modern. Machines have acquired fixed headlights, multi-link rear suspension and even a limited-slip differential.

Recent generations

From 1995 to 2002, Nissan produced cars that are representatives of the sixth and seventh generations. Here it is really modern and stylish models. They are distinguished by a new round design, besides the cars have become much wider and lower. And the wheelbase has also increased. Due to this controllability has become much better. In 1996, the car was made more aggressive, adding to its sportiness character. Front and rear lights, wings, bonnet, bumpers, radiator grille - all this also became more attractive.

And the representatives of the seventh (last) generation completely struck everyone on the spot. It was a brand new car with a 250 liter engine. from.! Modern style, fashionably designed interior, six-speed mechanics - such a machine just could not become popular. It was the models of the seventh generation that were exported most. Because it's really a good machine.
