The 1971 Datsun 240Z helped establish Japanese sports cars as serious performance machines in the American market. Lightweight, affordable, and powered by an inline-six engine, the original Z-car blended European-inspired styling with dependable engineering and became one of Nissan’s most important enthusiast platforms.

This GreenLight Running on Empty Series 4 release features a vintage-inspired Shell racing livery with bold number 27 graphics, period-style sponsor logos, and classic red paintwork. The combination gives the 240Z an authentic grassroots racing appearance that fits perfectly with the golden era of import sports car competition.
