Nissan and Toyota seem to be duking it out in producing cars targeted at the same market. Just last month, an interesting take on whether or not the Lexus LF-A (Toyota’s first proper sports car) was pulled out of testing around the Nurburgring for improvements so that it wouldn’t pale in comparison to what Nissan has done and accomplished with the GT-R.

While the LF-A is still undergoing improvements, the GT-R is now achieving sales success. This battle of the Japanese supercars have still yet to start. But what’s this? Are the two companies set to pit every car they now develop against each other?

Late last year, there was buzz going around that Nissan will be resurrecting their street racer classic - the 240SX (which shares the same platform with the Japanese Silvia). This was after the Toyota-Subaru tie-up to build an entry-level FR sports car which was initially reported as the replacement for the drifting classic Corolla GT (Trueno Sprinter and Levin AE86 in Japan). It now seems that Nissan will really be putting the pressure on Toyota as they expect the Silvia resurrection to be released earlier that the Toyota-Subaru car.
