Games[]

Need for Speed: ProStreet[]

The Silvia (S15) appears in Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 1 car with a price tag of $30,000.

Strongest traits it is its handling and acceleration. It is also more powerful than the Nissan 240SX (S13), but is best used in Drift and Grip events.

Need for Speed: Undercover[]

The Silvia (S15) appears in Need for Speed: Undercover as a tier 4 car with a price tag of $28,000 and is unlocked once the player has reached Wheelman Level 2.5.

It is capable of reaching 187 mph (301 km/h) with stock performance. Its rear-wheel drive layout makes it stable and fast through corners. It also has better acceleration than the Lotus Elise and 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS.

Need for Speed: Shift[]

The Silvia (S15) appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 2 with a price tag of $55,000 and a car rating of 4.90. It is unlocked after collecting 30 Stars and is capable of a Works upgrade.

It is an excellent car for drifting due to its acceleration and accessible handling. It performs well in race events too, but may be lacking when put against other tier 2 cars. Similar to the Nissan 240SX, upgrades might be needed to improve its racing performance.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Silvia (S15) was made available in Need for Speed: World on May 14, 2010 during the fourth closed beta session. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as an E class vehicle.

Despite possessing a lower car rating than the Nissan 240SX, it is capable of a higher top speed. It has responsive handling, which can be greatly enhanced with upgrades, and upon exiting a corner, it can also outmatch most class E cars with its good acceleration.

In pursuit events, it has less durability than heavier cars, but is capable of performing quick manoeuvres.
