This is a Nissan Silvia S13 K's. Known in America as the 240SX (with a different front fascia of course), the Silvia S13 was introduced in mid 1988 and became immensely popular. One of the first uses of Nissan's multi-line rear suspension, the S13 was powered by either a 1.8L CA18DE inline-4, a 1.8L CA18DET turbocharged inline-4, a 2.0L SR20DE inline-4 or the 2.0L SR20DET turbocharged inline-4. HICAS-II four-wheel steering was also made available. The version depicted here depicts a S13 owned by Chris Marion of KW-USA, which is was built by Eimer Engineering, is fitted with custom Fifteen52 rims, Falken tires, parts from Rocket Bunny and an SR20DET engine. 302,640 were produced.

Now, about the casting. This casting was designed by Dima (Dmitriy) Shakhmatov and introduced in the 2020 HW Speed Graphics series in this paint scheme. I can't really say anything else because as of the time of writing, this is the only known release. It has detailed taillamps and rear decals, but not headlamps. Boo.
