The Datsun Fairlady 2000, specifically the SR311 and SRL311 models produced in 1966, marked a significant step forward in the evolution of this iconic Japanese sports car. Launched as the successor to the original Fairlady (the SPL310), the 2000 model boasted a more powerful and refined design, solidifying its position as a formidable competitor in the emerging global market for affordable yet capable sports cars. The "2000" in the name referred to the car's 2-liter engine, a 1988cc inline-four, which offered significant performance gains over its predecessor. This engine was coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission, and, for the first time in the Fairlady lineup, a 5-speed manual became available as an option.
Beyond the engine, the 1966 Fairlady 2000 SR311 and SRL311 models featured a revised chassis with a more rigid frame. This, combined with independent front suspension and a live rear axle, provided a more balanced and responsive driving experience. The exterior styling also underwent a subtle yet significant makeover, achieving a more streamlined and modern look. The SR311 and SRL311 models were particularly noteworthy as the first to feature a distinctive "fastback" roofline, which replaced the previous coupe's more traditional "hardtop" design. This change contributed to the car's aerodynamic efficiency as well as its distinctive, sporty aesthetic. Additionally, the 1966 model year introduced a new dashboard design, replacing the previous round instrument cluster with a more modern rectangular layout. These refinements, both in terms of performance and design, cemented the Datsun Fairlady 2000's reputation as a stylish and fun-to-drive sports car, paving the way for its continued success in subsequent generations and solidifying its lasting legacy as a legend in the automotive world.
