The distinctive 1977 Datsun 280Z, a classic symbol of the 70s automotive era, hails from North Carolina in the United States. This iconic sports car boasts a sleek body that embodies the spirit of its time, with a streamlined form that tapers to a point at both front and rear ends, evoking a sense of motion even when stationary. The 280Z is powered by a robust 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine that breathes through triple SU carburetors, producing an impressively smooth 170 horsepower for its time. This power is seamlessly transferred via a slick-shifting five-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels, ensuring dynamic handling and driver engagement. Distinctive features on this particular model include the prominent round headlights nested within squared-off bumpers, vertical taillights, and of course, the signature Z-car styling that influenced generations of sports cars to come.
