The New Nissan Silvia S16
-
Here's a peep at the latest Nissan S16 Silvia. Comments welcome!
Anyway, I highly doubt that the S16 will be a heavy car, since the S15 spec R (the fast, turbo Silvia) weighed in at just over 2,700 lbs., which is quite lightweight (less than an FD, Chin!). The S16 will replace the s20rbdett (or whatever the old engine was called) with a modified version of the Nissan X-trail's SR20vet (that must be one fast SUV!).
Notice that the article claims it should retail for 2500000 yen, which is about $20,000 US dollars. ANd that's an FR, turbo car that cranks out 280 horse power (about 220 lb/ft torque) from 1,998 cubic centimeters of displacement. Pretty impressive, I'd say. -

X-trail a Fast SUV? not as fast as the HENG@'s Airtrek Turbo-R mar....but the engine itself is not really that perfect lar....must tweak it abit like wad my dad did 2 make it smooth as silk...like more refined lar....like doing port and polish and changing sparkplugs...My dad's X-trail with the mods can do 0-100 in 7.56....quite fast liao lar....and stock is pathethic...8.5 secs and it's drivetrain is identical to the R34...the attessa ETS 4WD traction system

350z nice OK!Originally posted by AE86tofu:fairlady not that bad mar -
Nice nice!! haha..

i doubt it's a primera frame, still a s15 frame with a facelift. their just doing what mitsu. did, by incorporating the same face,"front grill", for all of it's models. It's pretty lame, All we need now is more of the same looking car design on the road.. great..
-
fairlady still nice.
-
The 350z design looks horrible.
The silvia s15 is one of the better looking models, skyline r34 also.
The new silvia still ok lar.
One of the best bodies i've seenis the 99 model accord.
Woot. Vv sharp n sleek look. -
engine also....SR20VET is a masterpiece...LOL!!! although mine is a SR25VET
-
hmm... its just like a primera 2 door. haha not nice lah... S15 is the nicest body.

abit too smooth and aerodynamic for me...
-
it may not look as fierce as S15,
but maybe when you saw the real one,
u may not be saying this!
-
each got his own taste lah..hehe.
but this design sure remind me of the previous generation hyundai elantra.
the current S16 and R34 are superbly crafted. -
Nice or not nice is subjective. To me, it looks okie but the real beast is the engine.
&........... the ultimate bottomline is, I don't mind owning one if I can afford. -
exactly....lol but i think they shld rename it to "primera coupe" instead....Originally posted by Ah Wei:Nice or not nice is subjective. To me, it looks okie but the real beast is the engine.
