I\u2019ve said it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Silvia was named after a Greek Goddess. And in its architectural lines, airy poise and almost dainty finesse, it matches ideals of aesthetics that the classical world would indeed recognise as art.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1116.jpeg\" alt=\"A Nissan Silvia steering wheel\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Silvia\u2019s interior has all the elements of a mid-1960s sex machine. Picture: NISSAN<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The classical references are cogent in more ways than one. When you first glimpse this<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bella macchina<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it comes across as a classic Italian slither of hand-tempered gorgeousness. This car is obviously something that could have emerged from the drawing board of one of the classic Italian Carrozzerias.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah we know. Japanese car makers were always adept at the art of imitation. But in the first Silvia the simulacra surpassed the originals of Northern Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Silvia was unveiled at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show, and it had been penned out by Nissan internal designers K. Kimura &amp; F. Yoshida, with advice from German-American stylist Albrecht Goertz.\u00a0 Goertz had worked extensively as a consultant designer and was notably responsible for the very lovely BMW 507 sports car &#8211; as well as one of the other classically beautiful Japanese sportster of the era: the 007-famed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toyota_2000GT\">Toyota GT2000<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_4565.jpeg\" alt=\"A rear light on the Silvia\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Period-perfect glassware and an exactitude of trim. Picture: NISSAN<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And though these other two cars are probably more obviously stunning and more epoch-making in their own way, the simplicity and the proportions of the styling of the Silvia is the thing that makes the car truly remarkable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And bringing this level of styling to what would become an everyman production car is the nugget at the heart of the story &#8211; and the legacy it left created the mould for 60 years of Japanese car culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s look at the elements of this design success. One of the most subtle but fundamental features is the sculpted body. It is jewel like in its lateral lines \u2014 the result of a partly hand-wrought metal work process hammered out of the existing \u2018Fairlady\u2019 platform. This made the car a rare and expensive goddess, as it retailed for almost twice the price of its closest competitor in terms of spec.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_9076.jpeg\" alt=\"A view of the Nissan Silvia front grill\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><em>A carefully constructed piece of front-end vehicle beauty. Picture: NISSAN<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And look at the details. Notice the delicately bevelled work around the lights and the handles. Close attention to the lighting work and the steel of the wheels reveals a remarkable, handwrought attention to detail. It came with a pretty standard four-cylinder 1,600 engine with overhead valves and twin SU carb that revved decently and produced a little under 100 BHP. Nothing mind-blowing under the bonnet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of its profoundly detailed production process, only 550 or so of this first gen Silvia were made. The next iteration didn\u2019t emerge until 1974. But by raising the level of design and execution on a sports car aimed ultimately for the masses, it set a tone for a few generations of JDM obsessives.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1114.jpeg\" alt=\"A side view of the Silvia\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1112.jpeg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a Nissan Silvia\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1117.jpeg\" alt=\"A steering wheel\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1119.jpeg\" alt=\"Controls inside the Nissan\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_1213.jpeg\" alt=\"A wheel\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-influx-wp.adrianflux.co.uk\/uploads\/2021\/10\/nissan_silvia_5456.jpeg\" alt=\"A rear light\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><em>All pictures supplied by Nissan.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first generation Nissan Silvia CSP311 is one of the pioneering Japanese sports coup\u00e9s.
