The current Nissan coupe (in America this car has the 240SX index, and in Japan it is known as the Nissan Silvia) is the predecessor of the sixth generation Datsun. In general, this car has not changed much. Bright appearance, rear-wheel drive.

In European countries, only the Nissan 200SX is sold with a turbine engine of two hundred forces, designed for a capacity of two liters. Rear differential - with partial automatic blocking. The Nissan 240SX s13 looks great. Narrowed, barely slanting headlights, an elongated hood, a large overhang from the rear side - a car striving forward.

The sporty spirit of the Nissan 240SX is also felt inside the cabin, where the seats are made of moderately firm leather. The speedometer is large and the tachometer is facing the driver through the steering wheel. A bar rising at shoulder level, located under the window, forming some kind of power frame around the driver and passenger, smoothly passes into the panel in the foreground. Like a computer game joystick, the Nissan 240SX's five-speed manual transmission lever stands out in the center.

And yetthe first inspection puts the Nissan 240SX in the lead. Perhaps it is not without reason that it is ten thousand dollars more expensive than a Honda. But it's too early to draw conclusions about the car.

To experience the Nissan 240SX, you need to not just drive, but really drive, including including the race track. The Nissan engine is basically a two-liter engine, which is installed, for example, on the Primera model. But now it's hard to recognize: variable gas distribution phases, turbine boost, intercooler. And in the end - instead of the previous one hundred and thirty forces - two hundred and twenty. And it is not in the transverse plane, but in the longitudinal. The Nissan pulls away effortlessly and follows the accelerator pedal unquestioningly.

Up to three thousand revolutions per minute, the motor is mediocre. But after three thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - with the acceleration of the nucleus flying out of the cannon. And after five thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - again a decrease in temperament. The engine is straining, but there is little sense. If under normal conditions there are no complaints about the handling of the car (clarity in reactions, the presence of feedback), the sports track makes you look at the Nissan 200 SX differently. The car is difficult to steer as soon as one of the axles goes into slip mode.

The first moments do not portend danger. In the presence of traction, the car gradually shifts to the outside of the turn. First, the car with its front wheels drives out of the turn. To keep it on the road, the driver tries to cause the rear axle to skid, wellwith such a motor, this can be done without much effort.

But the Nissan 240 SX is in the zone quite abruptly. Even more unexpected feedback can be obtained on corrective actions. It is rather difficult, almost impossible, to correct the skid without causing a second oscillation of the car. The pace of Nissan's maneuvers is such that it is difficult to catch the previous trajectory: you need to move a few meters away from the original trajectory, restoring stability. In these modes, the Nissan 240SX needs delicate and rather quick wit while driving.
