This is an '01 Nissan Silvia Spec-S. Introduced in 1999, the S15 generation Silvia featured aggressive styling in and out, with updated staying used to keep the car in line with modern design trends. The car was shortened from the previous generation so the car could comply with regulations. Powered by a 2.0L SR20 inline-4, the S15 was officially only sold in Japan, Australia and New Zealand, the latter two countries selling it as the 200SX. Production ended in 2002 with the discontinuation of Nissan's S platform. 43,097 were produced.
The Silvia is also known for its appearance in films, such as The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. This S15, driven by Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) and owned by Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang), features a 2.6L RB26DETT inline-6 in place of the SR20, a C-West body kit with GT wing and Ganador wing mirrors, Racing Cells fuel cell, Recaro seats with Takata belts, Sparco steering wheel and Volk GT-7 19-inch wheels among other modifications.
Now this casting was designed by Mark Jones and Jimmy Liu and introduced in 2018 in the Replica Entertainment series for Forza Motorsport. This casting has seen six known releases, the last in 2020 in the Hot Wheels Boulevard line. A seventh HKS release for the Team Transport line is on the horizon.
