Nissan 280ZX Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1978–1984) — First Generation
The first-generation Nissan 280ZX blends sporty character with everyday usability. Its fastback body and choice of transmissions give you scope to balance relaxed touring with a more involved driving experience.
The Nissan 280ZX engine offers the smooth power delivery associated with an inline-six. Selected Fastback examples include the rear-wheel-drive 2.8 MT and 2.8 AT: the manual lets you choose when to shift, while the automatic reduces the work of driving in traffic and suits relaxed cruising.
