Nissan Silvia Prestige - Livery Design

The big question

What does a D1 Grand Prix car from early 2000s Japan look like when you rebuild that era through a modern lens?

At first glance it is hard to identify exactly what you are looking at, and that is entirely the point.

The abstract forms merge into one continuous flowing composition that moves with the car rather than sitting on top of it, anchored by the purple base that ties everything together.

The brief

Few people know that “CM” stands for Creative Motion, and that detail alone says something about how this design was approached. The S13 is the natural home for this kind of work: the design is a direct vision of what S-chassis cars looked like in the golden era of D1 Grand Prix Japan, rebuilt with a contemporary approach and our own interpretation of what that energy actually means today.
