Nissan Silvia - Wikipedia
- The Nissan Silvia is a line of small rear-wheel-drive sports cars produced by Nissan from 1965 to 2002.
- Export versions were often sold as the 200SX or 240SX, and some were sold under Datsun branding.
- The original CSP311 Silvia debuted as a hand-built coupé in 1964, used a 1.6 L engine, and only 554 were built before production ended in 1968.
- The S10 was the first mass-produced Silvia on Nissan's S platform and was sold in Japan, export markets, and the United States as the Datsun 200SX.
- Nissan had considered using a rotary engine for the S10, but abandoned the idea because of the 1970s oil crises.
- The S10 and S11 had limited commercial success overall.
- A Paul Newman-driven 1977 Datsun 200SX won 19 of 22 IMSA Class C races.
- In Japan, Silvia twin models included the Gazelle for the S110 and S12 generations and the 180SX for the S13 generation.
