It was designed to capitalize on the burgeoning popularity of sporty coupes in the American market, offering a blend of performance, affordability, and reliability. The 280Z boasted a larger, 2.8-liter, six-cylinder engine, producing a respectable 150 horsepower, a significant increase over the 240Z.

The 280Z was also known for its distinctive design, featuring a distinctive sloping hood line, flared wheel arches, and a prominent rear spoiler. The 280Z's interior was equally functional and stylish, with comfortable seats, a well-laid-out dashboard, and ample legroom. The car was praised for its overall practicality, offering features such as power steering, power brakes, and a spacious trunk. Notably, the 280Z also featured a number of safety improvements, including crumple zones and a reinforced passenger cabin. The Datsun 280Z was a popular choice among enthusiasts, praised for its blend of performance, style, and affordability. Its success cemented the Z-car's place as a legendary sports car series, inspiring generations of enthusiasts and contributing to the global recognition of Japanese automotive technology. Despite its slightly less agile handling compared to the 240Z, the 280Z remained a highly desirable and collectible car, representing a significant chapter in the history of the legendary Z-car lineage.
