The Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311, also known as the SPL311, was a sporty roadster produced by Nissan's Datsun division from 1967 to 1970. This model, the third generation of the Fairlady line, marked a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a more modern design and improved performance. The SP311 was built on a new, lighter platform with a shortened wheelbase, making it more agile and responsive. Power came from a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, producing 110 horsepower, paired with either a four-speed or five-speed manual transmission. The SP311 was lauded for its handling, thanks to its independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, making it a popular choice for both everyday driving and spirited driving on winding roads.
The SP311's design was a departure from the more rounded styling of its predecessors. It featured a sharp, angular look, with a long hood, a low-slung profile, and a distinctive grille. The interior was similarly spartan, but well-appointed. The SP311 boasted a comfortable cabin with two bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a simple dashboard with clear instrumentation. While the SP311 was only produced for three years, it left a lasting impact on the automotive landscape. It helped establish Datsun as a serious contender in the sports car market, and its legacy continues to be felt today with the continued success of the Nissan Z series, which traces its lineage back to the iconic Fairlady.
