Datsun 240Z, also known as the Nissan S30 or Fairlady Z in Japan, is a classic sports car produced by Nissan from 1969 to 1973. It was the first model in the Z series, which included later versions like the 260Z and 280Z. Designed to be an affordable sports car, the 240Z featured a 2.4-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing up to 151 horsepower. It quickly became popular for its performance, sleek design, and affordability, helping to establish Nissan’s reputation for producing reliable and efficient sports cars.
