Nissan Silvia, which went under several different names during its time in North America, including the 200SX and 240SX but the final generation of the Silvia – which appears in SHIFT - was only available in Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

This Silvia, the S15 Spec-R Aero, pumps out 250 horsepower from a 2-litre turbocharged powerplant mated to a six-speed manual transmission and also has limited-slip differential in the back, allowing for better results on the track.

The Aero package, optional on the Spec-R, added a large rear wing and side skirts to give the car a more aggressive appearance.
