Ep9: Nissan Silvia S15 The Drift Queen

Only 43,097 Nissan Silvia S15s were ever built – the final evolution of a bloodline stretching back to the 1960s. The Spec-R’s SR20DET made 250hp from a 2.0-litre turbo four with a ball-bearing turbocharger, paired to a six-speed manual and helical LSD. On track, S15s claimed nearly 70% of all D1 Grand Prix championships, including Top Secret’s legendary 530hp machine that won the 2004 title. This is the story of the car that put drifting on the world stage. Street Legends – iconic cars, untold stories.
