Legends of Japan


Japanese car enthusiasts around the globe have been celebrating the unveiling of pictures of the new Nissan 370Z Coupé , the latest version of the “Z cars” from one of Japan's most famous manufacturers.The Datsun (Nissan's original name) 240Z was the first sports car from a Japanese manufacturer to break the American market when it launched in 1969, and is a legendary sports car in its own right.And the new Nissan Z Coupé continues the good work started by the Datsun. Looking similar to its predecessor in the Z line, the 350Z, it is powered by a 3.7-litre V6 engine, the same one used in the G37 model from Nissan's luxury car line, Infiniti.Similar to the G37, this sixth generation of the Z car should come with either six-speed manual transmission or seven-speed automatic options, but the 0-60mph and the top speed it delivers remains unknown.It's the latest in a long line of Japanese cars to take the world by storm, and to celebrate its unveiling, we’ve put together a gallery of some of the finest and most popular cars to ever come out of Japan.
