The Nissan Silvia was built from 1987 to 2002.
The S15 Spec-R, the most traded version: The S15 Silvia Spec-R represents the final evolution of Nissan's legendary rear-drive sports car, and many consider it the best of the breed. Shinichiro Sakurai's design was a masterclass in proportion and aggression, while the SR20DET reached its peak with 247 horsepower and a proper six-speed manual transmission. With only 45,000 units produced before Nissan ended the Silvia line, the S15 was rare from day one. The Spec-R's track-focused suspension, limited-slip differential, and lightweight construction created driving dynamics that still impress today. Never officially sold in America, clean S15s command premium prices as 25-year-rule imports become eligible. The combination of rarity, final-generation status, and exceptional driving dynamics makes the Spec-R highly sought-after, representing the end of an era for affordable Japanese sports cars.
