In just a few years, the Fairlady Z established itself as one of the best sports cars of its time, rising to the level of Italian or German references.

Five generations later, the success continues: from the legendary 240 Z to the formidable 350 Z of today, without forgetting the early roadsters, discover the history of the most emblematic of Japanese sports cars. A very well-documented and richly illustrated subject.
