The Datsun Sports 1600, also known as the SPL311, was a lightweight and sporty two-door coupe produced by Nissan (then known as Datsun) from 1968 to 1970. It was the successor to the legendary Datsun Fairlady (SPL310) and was the first Datsun model to feature a 1600cc engine. The SP311 was designed with a focus on performance and handling, featuring a double wishbone front suspension and a live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs. It was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, initially producing 96 horsepower and later tuned to 110 horsepower, delivering spirited acceleration and nimble handling. This combination of performance and affordability made the Datsun Sports 1600 a popular choice for enthusiasts and young drivers.

The Sports 1600 was available in both standard and "SR" (Sport Road) trim levels. The SR trim included a stiffer suspension, a higher-performance camshaft, and a factory-installed roll bar. Additionally, the SP311 was available in various color options and featured a unique design language that was both sleek and sporty, with a low-slung profile, distinctive headlights, and a sloping roofline. Despite its short production run, the Datsun Sports 1600 left a lasting mark on the automotive world. It was an important step in the evolution of Datsun's performance car offerings, paving the way for the legendary 240Z and other high-performing models. The SP311 remains a desirable classic for enthusiasts today, due to its rarity, its engaging driving experience, and its historical significance in the development of Datsun's sporting heritage.
