About This Model

Sports Segment: Performance Costs and Enthusiast Premiums

Sports models carry higher insurance premiums — typically 25–40% above equivalent non-performance vehicles — and performance-grade consumables (tyres, brake pads, fluids) add meaningfully to annual running costs. However, enthusiast demand in the secondary market consistently supports residual values above segment averages. Track use, even occasional, can void manufacturer warranties and significantly increase insurance costs. Buyers who intend to use their sports car on track should budget for dedicated track insurance and accelerated consumable replacement.

The Nissan Silvia S15 is a Sports-segment vehicle with a base price of $30,000 USD. 250 hp turbocharged inline-4. Across 50 countries, annual ownership costs range from $7K in Venezuela to $27K in Singapore — a 283% difference driven by import duties, fuel prices, insurance markets, and local taxation.
