Datsun 240Z – The Legendary Sports Car
The Datsun 240Z is the car that completely created the Japanese sports car segment. Everything about this car was over the top at a time when America was still driving the gas-guzzling V8 dinosaurs of the past. The 240Z had the same performance wrapped up in a lightweight and fuel-efficient package. Consumers went crazy for the car and it ended up being one of the best-selling cars of the decade (via Car & Driver).
The original 240Z is one of the most expensive cars that you can get today and with good reason. Even with today’s advanced turbo-powered sports cars, there is just something very satisfying about getting behind the wheel of the 240Z. The designers who were behind the 240Z did everything right when they designed this car, and the enduring design changed the automotive industry.
