The 2001 Nissan Silvia S15[1] (also known as the Mona Lisa[2] and Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S) is a major car used in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. It appears again briefly in F9.

History

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

The 2001 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S is first seen when Sean Boswell first comes to the parking garage where drift races are held. Takashi, confronted Sean for talking to Neela, his girlfriend.

Sean suggests settling their differences in a race. Han Seoul-Oh, Takashi's associate, notices that Sean does not have a car and offers his Nissan to him for the race, curious to see Sean's capabilities as a driver. Twinkie gives Sean a short lesson on how to drift before the race begins. Despite his efforts, the Nissan is severely damaged when Sean is unable to prevent it from crashing into the pillars and walls of the garage whenever he braked at the last second. Han uses the damages to his Nissan as a way of placing Sean in his debt.

Following the apparent death of Han, the damaged Silvia is rediscovered by Reiko when Han's team is looking for parts to repair Sean's father's 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback for his final race against Takashi. The car, along with Han's Garage, are left completely untouched after Han's apparent death.

F9

5 years after Han's apparent death, Mia Toretto and Letty Ortiz arrive in Tokyo to find out information about Han and his connection to Mr. Nobody. They break into Han's old garage and find the wreckage of the Silvia but ultimately deem the information useless to them and they leave.

Specifications

Before its untimely death, this car had Earl's Performance steel braided lines with anodized fittings, a C-West body kit, a GT rear wing, Ganador side mirrors, and Volk Racing grey GT-7 No.0355 19" rims.

Trivia

  • The Nissan Silvia was Han's favorite car. Twinkie refers to the Nissan as the "Mona Lisa" to empathize its importance to Sean Boswell.
  • Justin Lin had the same destroyed car from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift shipped to the UK so they could use it for a small scene in F9. The scene was removed from the theatrical cut of the film but appears in the directors cut.
