In the spring of 1995, Same’s long-term mid-range series called Silver was introduced. The series, designed by Giugiaro, included three four-cylinder models and one six-cylinder model. The engines were air-cooled, and the fuel injection pump was distributed individually per cylinder. The percentage increases in torque were impressively higher than the traditional Same level: 25-33%.

The basic transmission was 15+15, whose only refinement was a mechanical direction reverser. As an accessory, a 3-speed hydraulic quick-shift called Agroshift was available, which tripled the gears to 45+45. The model equipped with crawling speeds had gears of 20+20 / 60+60. Additionally, there were also 30 km/h versions with 12+12, 16+16, and 24+12 gears. The greatest refinement, however, was the hydraulic direction reverser available as an accessory, based on two oil-bath multi-disc clutches.

The selection of accessories was otherwise plentiful. Silver models were available with, among other things, four-wheel drive and differential lock automation, electronic engine control, multifunctional armrests, air conditioning, PTO (power take-off), electric lifting device, trip computer, and radar.

Motokov Finland only brought in the Silver 100.6 in three different equipment versions. Even the base model had crawling gears and rim wheels. Kesko, on the other hand, focused on selling economical equipment versions, as the prices of accessories were relatively high. The lifting capacity of the models imported to Finland was always 4700 kg, and the hydraulic output was 58 liters per minute. A Webasto heater assisted the heating system, and the engine control was electronic.

Unlike other countries, Finland switched to the Silver W models in the summer of 2001; elsewhere, water cooling was introduced for the 2004 model year. However, in countries like Germany and France, the Same Acqua Speed 95 model, which was identical in coloring to the Lamborghini Premium 950, had already been sold earlier.
