Description[]
This casting was based on the 1982 Datsun 200SX. The hood can be opened showing a 2-litre NAPS-Z engine. Of the Datsun-badged cars Hot Wheels released, this was the second Datsun casting made, preceded by the Z-Whiz in 1978. The Hot Wheels casting is a 1/64 scale depiction of the stock model Datsun 200SX coupe, the model sold in the US and Canadian markets. This model was sold in other Markets as the Datsun 180SX and as the Nissan Silvia in Japan. This is the latest Datsun Hot Wheels has replicated, with the earliest models being the Fairlady 2000 and the Datsun Bluebird 510, both introduced in 1967.
