The comeback of the Nissan Silvia as EV

According to Japanese media reports, Nissan is preparing a comeback of the legendary model Silvia, but as an electric car. The whole plan was developed based on the design of the electric Silvia, done by Matthew Weaver.

“The Silvia was ahead of its time, in a very quiet, understated way. It has aged very well and would still have its place on the roads today. It’s also a great example of what is expected of a global product: high quality and universally appealing, “said Matthew Weaver, Vice President of Nissan Design in Europe.

The design was inspired by a first-generation model that made its debut at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show. At first glance, the line separating the upper and lower body, as well as the simple design of the headlights and taillights, is a feature of the 1964 model.

So far, there are no details about the Silvia EV project, whose arrival can be expected in 2025.
