Nissan says it is exploring a return to affordable sports cars and may revive the Silvia nameplate, according to Richard Candler, Nissan’s global head of product strategy.
The comments came as Nissan unveiled the new Rogue E-Power Hybrid and teased the return of the Xterra at its Yokohama headquarters.
Richard Candler said Nissan is "deeply looking at a sports lineup again" and is considering accessible, lower-priced models to attract enthusiasts, and Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa previously indicated more sports cars are coming alongside the upcoming R36 GT-R.
Any revived Silvia would likely target rivals such as the Mazda Miata and the Toyota GR86/Subaru BRZ and focus on price accessibility and driver engagement; Nissan did not provide timelines or firm production details.
