Gazelle

Overview

A sister car that appeared at the same time as the third-generation Silvia. The name derives from gazelle, the general term for the antelopes that live on the grasslands. With the catchphrase striding in from the future, the body came in two types, a two-door hardtop and a hatchback, and it also had Japan's first drive computer. The second generation was basically the same in structure as the Silvia but was set apart by the design of its front grille and rear combination lamps. It also offered the world's first power woofer, Japan's first electric glass sunroof with a tilt-up mechanism, and keyless entry.
