ZCCW - Z-Car History
1970-1973 240Z
|
Mr. Katayama's vision was realized with the arrival of the 1970 240Z in the U.S. on October 22, 1969. Nissan chose the 240 designation to reflect the car's 2.4-Liter six-cylinder engine; the Z was selected because it represented the ultimate, the "last word" in sports cars. Several factors led to its instant popularity: an attractive body design, strong performance (150 horsepower and a 0-60 time of under nine seconds), a front and rear suspension that gave the car exceptional cornering ability, and perhaps most impressive of all, a sticker price of only $3,526. There was simply no other vehicle on the market that offered the 240Z's combination of styling, performance, comfort and price. As a result, demand for the car skyrocketed.
