A sports coupe, based on the Nissan S platform, the Silvia debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1964. With a body structure that roughly matched the Fairlady convertible, it was designed by Count Albrect Graf Goertz, a German designer with long standing experience and expertise in the designing front.
Certain traits of the Silvia, like the large wheel with its typical wheel arch, small bumper bars and the bonnet line which goes forward to meet an open grille often resembled those of a BMW 507. With a perfect hand built exterior that employed a thicker gauge of sheet metal for its body, this car has a degree of heaviness that sometimes interferes with its performance.
