There have long been rumors of a successor to the S15 throne, and Nissan did release this teaser image from Nissan’s GT 2012 meeting held recently. They hinted towards a cheap, ‘drift-able’ rear wheel drive sports platform, the Silvia. The leaked images show the side view of the upcoming FR sports coupe due to go on sale in 2010.
The image reveals just enough to give a good idea of what the final shape will be. An interesting feature is the small third “quarter window” and the pronounced rear blister fender.
Although frustratingly obscured, the image would appear to show the classic Silvia shape, and is a real indication that the manufacturer is finally moving towards the return of one of Japan’s greatest sports cars.
