Nissan 200SX (S14):



The Nissan 200SX (S14) is the European and Australasian equivalent to the Nissan Silvia K's S14 from Japan. Production of the Nissan S14 started in 1993. In 1996, the car received a facelift which included aggressive formed front lights, new taillights and a refreshed interior.
Aero packages, like the ones from the S14 Silvia, were not offered, though the Kouki trim was also available in Europe, which was known as the S14a. Afterwards, the 200SX was discontinued in 1998.

Today, the S14 is frequently used in drift motorsport, like any other Silvia generation starting from the S13. The car is a popular tuning model worldwide too, thanks to its engine which can generate a high power output, while being able to retain a long lifespan.


The Nissan 200SX appears in Need for Speed: The Run as a Tier 1 car. It is unlocked after the player has received a Bronze Medal in every Coastal Rush challenge.
It is also featured as a Tier 4 car known as the "NFS Edition" and Tier 5 car known as the "Powers Signature Edition". The car was also part of the Old Spice 'Smell Faster' Pack, which was available to North American players only. It was included as a Tier 4 car known as the "Old Spice Signature Edition".

Players can unlock the "NFS Edition" after beating fifteen Group Objectives. The Tier 5 variant is obtainable as a rare bonus wheel reward though.

Any variant of the Nissan 200SX has a "Challenging" handling rating. This is due to the fact, that the car is prone the oversteer in corners. However, the Nissan 200SX compensates this trait with an quick acceleration and impressive top speed.

The Nissan 200SX is best used in race tracks allowing the full use of its acceleration, although it is useful for every race in the game, as long as the player is capable of controlling the car.
