shall we go with the i love nissans so ill choose function>form? wonder what engine will go in it... think they will have a new 4cyl turbo or just go with a reworked sr or something? i bet itll have closer to 300hp though since the 370 is going to come out and will will have less competition from the new silvia. or maybe theyll both cost the same and have about the same hp. who knows. i doubt nissan would want a rival for the 370z though so we might not even get it here. might end up like the s15 and 350z thing :(

well according to a friend that works at nissan.. there is alot of talk about the new s-chassis. and most likely it will come with a mr18hrt or qg18hrt (cant remeber which motor) but it should make for a nice setup.. something in the low 200hp range.. keep in mind this is stuff that is heard threw the grape vine.. nothing yet has been released to them.. but it is for sure a go...

wikipedia...

A few days after the car's official announcement, reports from various Japanese car enthusiast magazines reported that their inside sources at Nissan have said "Nissan is not sitting back and taking the new Toyota/Subaru sports coupe lightly. A new Silvia will be available on the market before the end of 2010 and will be priced in direct competition with the new Toyota/Subaru sports coupe." The report went on to say "The new Silvia has in-fact been in development for over 3 years now and that it is being built on a modified FM platform." The motor for the car was discussed in the reports as well sighting that either a new 1.8 litre or 2.0 litre turbo charged, rear-wheel-drive, 4 cylinder engine will be used (that outputs nearly 250hp).

Again, nothing has been made official at this time, however, it is speculated heavily that the new Silvia platform resurrection will be officially announced within the next year at either the Tokyo Motor Show, LA Auto Show or Detroit Motor Show.

At the 2008 Nissan360 conference, Infiniti of America confirmed that they are planning on releasing a brand new BMW 1-Series fighter by 2011 (this new car is to be slotted below the G35/G37 series as a entry level vehicle for Infiniti much like the old Infiniti G20 was). This announcement gives fuel to the new Silvia fire as from a marketing and financial standpoint, it would be very unprofitable of Nissan to build a brand new, compact, RWD car to compete directly with the BMW 1-series and not use the chassis in any other Nissan or Infiniti branded cars. Nissan had a glimpse of what the new 1-Series competitor would look like on hand in the form of a top-down view plastic mold of the car. The only definitive details the mold showed was the body lines, that the car was definitely smaller than the current Nissan 350Z/G37 and that it was looking to be a hatchback styled chassis.

This thread is full of fail and super-old information.

That concept was realeased almost 2 years ago, and it's not a concept, but a fan drawing.
Nissan will release actual news regarding the new Silvia w/in the next 4-6 months of 2009.

This car has been put on the back burner untill 2011. Then they will re-present it to Carlos Gosen. That car wont go into production.

As in my first post. There is no more talk about this car for at least a couple years. That was indeed a rendering by a engineer but it never reached concept stage. Once again, this car will never see production!
