Domestic competitors are also contemplating the realm of hybrid and electric performance vehicles, as demonstrated at the Japan Mobility Show, where Honda, Mazda, and Toyota unveiled their own exciting concepts. Nissan, too, showcased its impressive concept, the Hyper Force, offering a glimpse into the electric future of the GT-R.
In September 2021, Vice President of Nissan Design Europe, Matthew Weaver, tantalized enthusiasts with his conceptual work on a potential Silvia revival. This was shortly followed by a tantalizing rumor from Japan’s Best Car magazine, speculating the revival of the Silvia as an electric model as early as 2025. While these prospects are enticing, they are met with a healthy dose of skepticism within the automotive community.
