The Datsun 510, a compact car produced by Nissan from 1968 to 1973, marked a significant turning point in the company's history and the development of the Japanese automotive industry as a whole. This iconic model, designated as the PL521 series, earned widespread recognition for its stylish design, exceptional handling, and robust performance. Originally conceived as a successor to the Datsun Bluebird 510, it introduced a bold new aesthetic with sharp lines, a distinctive grille, and a low-slung profile that appealed to the emerging generation of young drivers seeking both practicality and sporty flair. This emphasis on visual appeal was further enhanced by the inclusion of an optional "S" package, which boasted upgraded suspension and a sportier interior.

However, the 510's true brilliance lay beyond its exterior. The car's underpinnings featured a sophisticated independent front suspension and a live rear axle with coil springs, offering a surprisingly comfortable ride while maintaining a high level of agility. Powering this nimble chassis was a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 1.6-liter unit and a larger 1.8-liter option. The 510 also offered a rare combination of practicality and performance, boasting a spacious interior, generous cargo space, and a fuel-efficient design that appealed to the growing number of budget-conscious drivers. This unique blend of attributes, coupled with its exceptional reliability and durability, allowed the Datsun 510 to achieve commercial success and become a popular choice for both everyday commuters and motorsport enthusiasts.
