In my opinion, Datsun 240Z was the most outstanding Japanese sports car ever made of it’s size.

However, Japanese manufacturers still lacked the courage to make a normal-size sports car to compete on head with the Western.
Nissan rewrote the record by introducing 240Z in 1969. Unlike previous Japanese sports cars including the first Fairlady, it was designed to meet the requirements of Western markets, especially the United States.
