The Datsun 280ZX, produced from 1979 to 1983, was the second generation of the popular Z-car series, renowned for its sporty handling and sleek design. The 280ZX marked a significant evolution from its predecessor, the 240Z, with a more refined and luxurious interior, a larger and more powerful engine, and modern features that enhanced both performance and comfort. The 280ZX was available in two body styles: a 2+2 coupe with a rear bench seat, and a 2-seater T-top, offering a more open-air driving experience. While retaining the signature long hood and short rear deck styling of its predecessor, the 280ZX featured a more aerodynamically refined profile, with flush-mounted door handles and redesigned side windows.

Under the hood, the 280ZX was powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six cylinder engine, producing 135 horsepower in standard trim. A fuel-injected version, the 280ZX Turbo, was also available, generating 145 horsepower and providing a thrilling boost to acceleration. The 280ZX's handling was praised for its precision and balance, thanks to its independent suspension system and responsive steering. The 280ZX's interior was significantly upgraded from the previous generation, featuring more comfortable seating, a redesigned dashboard with improved ergonomics, and a higher-quality fit and finish. While the Datsun 280ZX was a significant improvement over the 240Z in terms of refinement and performance, it also marked a shift in the Z-car's identity. The 280ZX, with its increased size and luxurious features, began to move away from the original spirit of the Z-car, which was a pure and affordable sports car. The Datsun 280ZX, nevertheless, remained a popular choice for drivers looking for a stylish and capable grand touring car.
