The Datsun 240Z, 260Z & 280Z: Fairlady Roadster to 280ZX

Language: English

Nissan Fairlady Z, le samourai du bitume

In just a few years, the Fairlady Z established itself as one of the best sports cars of its time, rising to the level of Italian or German references. A resounding success due to a brilliant idea: Nissan offered a real GT offering performances equivalent to those of a Porsche 911, but for half the price. The success was immediate, especially since the Z had a breathtaking line and a very strong personality.

Five generations later, the success continues: from the legendary 240 Z to the formidable 350 Z of today, without forgetting the early roadsters, discover the history of the most emblematic of Japanese sports cars. A very well-documented and richly illustrated subject.
