The History Of The Datsun 240Z

The history of the Datsun 240z begins in 1969 when launched as a 1970model to the motoring world. The Datsun 240z was not a new concept as many manufacturers had achieved sports cars with excellent performance, strong engineering, and attractive styling with mediocre interiors at a low cost. The success of the 240z was down to the fact that the car perfected the idea of a low cost, reliable sports car. The history of the Datsun 240z engine is quite interesting as it is a deviant of the Datsun 1600 engine which in itself was a replica of the 1960's Mercedes Benz six cylinder with two less cylinders. Add two extra cylinders back to the Datsun 1600 engine and you have the 240z engine with 151 brake horsepower. With 146 pound-feet of torque you have a vehicle that could reach 0-sixty in eight seconds add to this the rack and pinion steering and independent suspension and you have a car with quick response, great performance and handling. Bringing all this to a halt in just seconds you had front disc brakes. 3500 it was much less than its rivals on the market at that time. 1974 saw an increase in the engine size to 2.6 litres and the vehicle renamed as the 260z effectively bringing to the end the 240z series having sold just under 117,000 models during its lifetime. The 260z engine had a lower brake horsepower of 139 as a result of the increasing emissions regulations in the United States as each year passed.

The new Vehicle Safety Technology Centre, opens up totally new opportunities, for example for vehicle-vehicle tests, for work on designing assistance systems and PRE鈥慡AFE, and for the validation of vehicle concepts involving alternative drive systems. Mercedes-Benz has always conducted more and much more demanding crash tests than prescribed by legislation or required for ratings. The numerous test facilities in the new safety centre will assist Mercedes-Benz in its role as a pacemaker. Around 900 crash tests can be carried out each year, thanks to the new operating concept and the flexible system layout. There is also capacity for around 1700 sled tests per year. Mercedes-Benz continues to work to replicate the way accidents actually happen even more realistically in its crash tests and to integrate the anticipatory PRE-SAFE occupant protection systems into its test procedures. Another objective is to mitigate the severity of accidents, or if possible avoid them completely, with the help of assistance systems.
