The Datsun Sports 2000, designated as the SR311 and SRL311, was a two-door, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured by Datsun, now known as Nissan, from 1969 to 1970. It was a direct successor to the Datsun Fairlady 1600 (SP310), but with a larger, more powerful engine and a sportier, more refined design. The Sports 2000 was a significant departure from its predecessor, featuring a longer wheelbase, more modern styling, and a wider track, all contributing to a more stable and agile driving experience. Under the hood resided a 1.988-liter inline-four cylinder engine, producing around 135 horsepower. This engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience, especially for the era. The Sports 2000 was lauded for its well-balanced handling, sharp steering, and responsive engine, earning a reputation as a true driver’s car.

Despite its impressive performance and handling characteristics, the Datsun Sports 2000 was a relatively short-lived model. The shift in consumer preferences towards larger, more powerful cars, combined with the introduction of the highly successful Datsun 240Z in 1970, led to the discontinuation of the Sports 2000 after only two model years. It remains, however, a significant piece of automotive history, representing a crucial step in Datsun's evolution towards becoming a global player in the sports car market. The car's blend of performance, handling, and style continues to attract enthusiasts today, with well-preserved examples fetching a premium price in the collector market.
