1975, Cars: Nissan Silvia / Datsun 180SX /Datsun 200SX (S10)

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.
