The Datsun Sports 2000, officially known as the Datsun SRL311 (later SR311), was a small, lightweight, and nimble sports car produced by Nissan (then known as Datsun) from 1965 to 1970. It was the first genuine sports car produced by Datsun, a company known for its reliable and affordable automobiles. The Sports 2000 was a significant step forward for Datsun, showcasing their capabilities in the high-performance car market. It was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing around 110 horsepower, paired with either a four- or five-speed manual transmission. The car featured independent suspension on all four wheels and disc brakes on the front. Despite its relatively simple design and modest power output, the Sports 2000 was praised for its handling and engaging driving experience. It was a capable performer on both the road and the track, establishing a strong reputation for Datsun in the world of sports cars.

The Sports 2000 was available in both roadster and coupe body styles. The roadster was the more popular choice, offering open-air motoring with a removable soft top. The coupe was a more practical and weather-resistant option, featuring a fixed roof and roll-up windows. While the Sports 2000 wasn't initially intended for export, its popularity in Japan and the success of Datsun's other models led to its eventual introduction to North America in 1967. Despite its performance and affordability, the Sports 2000 didn't achieve the same level of commercial success as its larger brethren, struggling against the well-established competition in the American market. The car's relatively small size and lack of modern features, alongside growing safety regulations, ultimately led to its discontinuation in 1970, paving the way for its successor, the 240Z. The Datsun Sports 2000 remains a beloved classic among enthusiasts, revered for its sporty handling, engaging driving experience, and historical significance as Datsun's first true foray into the realm of high-performance automobiles.
