The Datsun Sports 1600, known as the SP311 and later the SPL311, was a groundbreaking sports car produced by Nissan (then known as Datsun) from 1965 to 1967. It was the first Japanese car to be marketed as a dedicated sports car and aimed to challenge the European dominance in the segment. The SP311 was designed with a lightweight and compact chassis, featuring a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produced a respectable 93 horsepower. This, combined with a relatively low curb weight, resulted in a car that was surprisingly quick and nimble for its time. It was available in both roadster and coupe body styles, both of which were characterized by their simple yet elegant design, reminiscent of British sports cars of the era.

The SP311's success lay in its combination of affordability, performance, and reliability. It offered a more cost-effective alternative to European sports cars, with a reputation for being relatively easy to maintain. The SP311's popularity grew quickly, becoming a favorite among enthusiasts in Japan and other parts of the world. It also became a successful competitor in motorsports, with several SP311s achieving notable wins in both national and international races. However, the SP311's production was cut short in 1967 with the introduction of the more powerful and refined Datsun 2000 (SPL310). Despite its relatively short production run, the Datsun Sports 1600 established a legacy as a pioneer in Japanese sports car development, paving the way for iconic models such as the 240Z and the Skyline GT-R. Today, the SP311 is considered a desirable classic among car enthusiasts, appreciated for its unique history and driving character.
