8. Nissan Silvia S12
The Nissan Silvia S12, built from 1983 to 1988, is a lesser-known chapter in the Silvia legacy.
Sporting rear-wheel drive and available turbocharged engines, the S12 delivers lively performance wrapped in unmistakable 80s styling.
Although it sits in the shadow of the beloved S13 and S14 models, the S12 stands out as a hidden gem—especially for fans of drifting and retro Japanese cars.
