Development of World Car: Nissan 240SX Sports Cars

The first generation of the 240SX can be divided into two distinct versions. These are commonly referred to as Zenki and Chūki which are the Japanese words for "early" and "middle," respectively. Each of these variants came in two distinct body styles: hatchback, which was offered in both base and SE trim, and coupe, which was offered in base, LE and SE trim levels. Both styles shared the same front bodywork as the Japanese-market Nissan 180SX, featuring the sloping front with retracting headlights. This bodywork distinguishes the coupe model from its Japanese-market counterpart, the Silvia, which featured fixed headlights. Both styles in all markets share the same chassis, and with few exceptions, most components and features are identical.
