A Legendary Japanese Sports Car from the 70s Spotted in Ukraine

A cool coupe, the Nissan Datsun 280Z, was spotted in Kharkiv. This is one of the most famous Japanese sports cars from the 70s, and there are only a few such cars in our country.

The Nissan/Datsun 280Z was introduced in 1975 as an update to the 240Z and 260Z models (which, by the way, are also in Ukraine). Its main feature is a 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine with fuel injection, producing 170 hp. With it, acceleration to a hundred takes about 9 seconds, and the top speed is 205 km/h.

For its time, the sports car demonstrated very good handling and was relatively affordable. It sold very well, and over 150,000 coupes were produced in total.

This particular car is also distinguished by tuning in the spirit of the 70s. It has received a new front bumper and fender flares.
