Default Nissan Silvia/240 SX is coming back

Earlier this year Nissan held the GT 2012 event in which they outlined their medium-term management plan, we have already seen a couple of teaser images leak out from the event including the 370Z and the Nissan Cube EV, now it appears a third image has leaked out of an all new model the Japanese manufacturer is working on.

Speculations have stated that Nissan have been working on small RWD coupe for more than three years with the underpinnings set to come courtesy of a shortened version of the Z's FM platform. The new model will be a direct competitor for the Toyota/Subaru RWD Coupe which is currently in development and it is expected to win the race to the market by a full year. Although there have been no spottings or any styling indications of what the model may look like, the surfacing of this leaked image draws us to this conclusion that this could well be the next generation 240SX/Silvia.

Alternatively, we could well be looking at something totally different, the thick B-pillar and small rear three-quater window point towards the possibility this is a four-door – perhaps Nissan is looking to be the first Japanese manufacturer to enter the much sought after four-door coupe market?

looking at the teaser image it looks like it could be some sort of 4 door coupe thing

but oh well, it's about time they brought it back

It looks like a Hyundai Tiburon.
