200SX

The Nissan 200SX is a nameplate used by Nissan for several different models of sports coupes and hatchbacks marketed globally. The most well-known iterations are often associated with rear-wheel-drive platforms and turbocharged engines, particularly in North America and Europe.

In North America, the first generation of the 200SX (S10) was introduced in 1977 as a subcompact coupe and hatchback. It was based on the Nissan Sunny platform. Later generations, the S110, S12, S13, and S14, evolved into more powerful and sport-oriented vehicles. The S13 and S14 generations, in particular, are highly regarded by enthusiasts for their chassis dynamics and the availability of the SR20DET turbocharged engine, making them popular in drifting and other motorsports.

In other markets, such as Europe and Australia, the 200SX nameplate was also applied to models that were essentially rebadged versions of other Nissan vehicles, including the Silvia and Gazelle. The specific model designation and technical specifications varied significantly depending on the region and production year. Regardless of the specific generation or market, the 200SX generally represents Nissan's effort to offer affordable, sporty, and engaging rear-wheel-drive cars.
