In 1975 Japanese
car manufacturer Nissan introduced the new Nissan Silvia S10 in
Japan. The car was introduced as the Datsun 180SX in some European
countries and as the Datsun 200SX in North America. The S10 appeared
7 years after the demise of the first Silvia CSP311. The Silvia S10 was
based on the Nissan/Datsun Sunny B210 coupé (Datsun 120Y in Europe). The rear-wheel-drive, sporty car, was intended as a competitor to the
Toyota Celica and the Mazda 818 coupé.
