Nissan 300ZX
Automotive fans lost one icon after the other in the 1990s, and we did because the 300ZX was the third sports car to get the axe. The 300ZX in the 1990s was one of the most well-appointed and fun-to-drive sports cars on the road. There was even a convertible version that’s considered one of the rarest sports cars of all time (via Hot Cars).
The 300ZX did everything right and it truly was the pinnacle of Nissan engineering at the time. The unique styling of the 300ZX and the bulletproof engine was the height of Nissan engineering, even if the company was on the verge of collapse during this time.
