The Datsun Sports 2000, officially known as the Nissan Silvia (S10) in Japan, was a sporty two-door coupe produced by Datsun (now Nissan) from 1964 to 1967. It was the first model in the Silvia line and significantly expanded Datsun's reach into the sports car market. The Sports 2000 was a significant departure from the typical Datsun offerings of the time, featuring a lightweight, rear-wheel drive chassis, a powerful inline-four cylinder engine, and a sleek, stylish body. The car's sporty nature was highlighted by its low-slung profile, raked windshield, and distinctive "Coke-bottle" rear styling. The heart of the Sports 2000 was its 1.6-liter inline-four engine, a unit that was highly tuned for performance, producing 105 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual transmission, providing a spirited driving experience. Despite being a relatively small and lightweight car, the Sports 2000 was capable of achieving a top speed of 100 mph, a respectable performance for its time.
The Datsun Sports 2000 was initially released in two distinct models: the SR311 and the SRL311. The SR311, the more basic model, came equipped with a standard interior, while the SRL311 offered a more luxurious trim level with features like vinyl upholstery and a chrome-plated steering wheel. The Sports 2000 was well-received by enthusiasts for its performance, handling, and affordability. It proved to be a formidable competitor in sports car racing, achieving notable victories in several events. The car's success helped solidify Datsun's reputation as a manufacturer of reliable and sporty vehicles, paving the way for the brand's future success in the global market. While the Sports 2000 was produced for a relatively short period, it left a lasting legacy, influencing the design and performance of future Datsun (Nissan) sports cars. The model remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts, with restored and well-maintained examples fetching significant values in the classic car market.
