The Datsun Sports 1600, internally designated as the SP311 or SPL311, is a compact two-door sports car that was produced by Datsun, now known as Nissan, from 1963 to 1967. It was the first true sports car model from the Japanese manufacturer, signifying their entry into the competitive market of affordable, yet capable, roadsters. The Sports 1600 was a significant departure from Datsun's previous offerings, showcasing a focus on performance and handling, features that were not commonly associated with Japanese vehicles at the time. It was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, a smaller displacement than many of its European counterparts, but equipped with a dual-carburetor setup and a five-speed manual transmission, the "1600" delivered peppy performance for its size. A lively engine and well-balanced chassis made the Sports 1600 a capable and enjoyable car to drive, quickly establishing its reputation as a fun and engaging roadster.

The Datsun Sports 1600 was not just a technical success but also a critical and commercial one. It received positive reviews for its agility, handling, and value, attracting a loyal following of enthusiasts who appreciated its combination of affordability and performance. Its compact dimensions and nimble handling made it a popular choice for both novice and experienced drivers. Notably, the Sports 1600 became a popular choice for motorsports, earning podiums and victories in various racing events, further solidifying its reputation as a capable and competitive sports car. Though production of the Sports 1600 ceased in 1967, marking the end of its first generation, it paved the way for the iconic Datsun 240Z, a model that firmly established the Japanese automaker as a force to be reckoned with in the world of sports cars. Despite its limited production run, the Datsun Sports 1600 remains a significant milestone in automotive history, marking the early stages of Japan's rise as a global automotive power.
