1979-1983 280ZX
|
In 1979, the first complete design change occurred as the car grew into more of a GT car. Renamed the 280ZX, it offered special convenience features such as power steering and electric windows plus a completely redesigned rear suspension and improved aerodynamics.The new 280ZX received universal praise from the automotive press for taking the Z concept to a new level and was named Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year. In 1980, a T-roof option became available and in 1981, a turbocharged engine was offered for the first time.
