new_nissan_silvia_cw-l3Nissan is planning to introduce a new entry level sports car in 2010. It is believed to be a replacement model for the aged 200SX and hopes are being pinned on it to fill a gap in the automotive market for cheap front/rear coupes (FR).

If produced, the 240SX will be pinned directly against the rear powered sports car that Subaru and Toyota are planning to build together.

With a design that resembles the current generation Silvia S15 and a wheelbase identical to the new Nissan 350Z, the 240SX, (according to Japan’s Best Car magazine) will be powered by either a 2 liter naturally aspirated engine, or even a 1.6 or 1.8 turbocharged unit. And with the utilization of direct injection and a Variable Compression Ratio System, those scrawny engines are good for an impressive 220bhp.

Expect it to be in the further regions of RM250,000.

shucks....the styling seriously sucks.

looks like a Latio pumped up with steroids.

Why can't they just keep the current S15 styling and alter it slightly....the S15's design is already so nice. Looks like nissan is taking a step backwards in terms of design
