When it comes to Japanese sports cars, it’s impossible to overlook Nissan’s iconic Fairlady line-up which has combined timeless styling and awesome driving dynamics from day dot.
Arguably the most iconic of the bunch isn’t actually a Nissan, but instead a Datsun, and comes in the form of the Datsun 240Z, Datsun 260z, and Datsun 280z which was heavily influenced by Jaguar’s iconic E-Type in the styling department.
In Japan, this coupe was powered by a 2.0-litre engine, while America got a larger 2.4-litre six-cylinder (hence the name) growing to a 2.6 litre and then a 2.8 litre six-cylinder.
