Japanese Classic Car Show




1999 Nissan Hypermini EV
Nissan produced 219 Hypermini Electric vehicles between Sept. 1999 and Dec. 2001. Only 26 came to the U.S., with 15 used in trials at UC Davis and 11 by the city of Pasadena. Some privately owned examples can be found in Japan. The Hypermini featured lithium-ion batteries that provided a range of approximately 71 miles on a charge. The electric motor would take the tiny two-seater to a top speed of 62 mph.


2002 Nissan Altra EV
The Altra EV was a variant of the R'nessa minivan in Japan converted to battery-electric power. Approximately 200 Altras were produced from 1998-2002, and they were used primarily as fleet vehicles for electric utility companies. The Altra was the first "production" vehicle to use lithium-ion batteries. Altra had a top speed of about 75 mph and a maximum estimated range of 120 miles (city) on a five hour 200V paddle induction charge.


2011 Pikes Peak Nissan LEAF
This first generation 2011 Nissan LEAF became the first-ever winner of the Pikes Peak Electric Production Class on June 27, 2011. The bone-stock LEAF, with a stripped interior, a roll cage, safety equipment and sticky tires, streaked up the 12.4-mile, 156-turn course in 14 minutes, 33 seconds in the hands of professional off-road racer Chad Hord. In 2011, the Pikes Peak course still had dirt and paved surfaces.


2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition
For 370Z Coupe buyers wanting to stand out from the crowd even further, a new Heritage Edition package is offered on the base 370Z grade, the best-selling and most affordable trim level.
The Heritage Edition incorporates all of the enhancements to the 370Z Coupe for the 2018 model year and is offered in two exterior colors. Chicane Yellow (shown) features black outside mirrors, gloss-black graphics and yellow interior trim. Magnetic Black includes gloss-silver graphics and yellow interior trim.


1970 Datsun 240Z F/GT Bonneville
In 1976, a team of six Nissan Technical Center and Competition Department employees set out to break the land speed world record for the stock body F/GT class. With employees doing all of the design, engine building, assembly, testing, paint and graphics, the team took the car to the Bonneville Salt Flats and set a new record with 166.037 mph; a mark which stood until 1985. Another 240Z racer regained the F/GT world record in 2010 with a two way average of 172.974 mph.


1994 Nissan D21 Hardbody Bonneville
The Nissan D21 "Hardbody" pickup was built from 1986-1997 and it had a reputation for rugged dependability from the KA24 engine.
Nissan has a history in land-speed record racing, most recently with this 1994 "Hardbody" compact pickup truck, which raced at El Mirage and Bonneville. This D21 set multiple records in the mid-1990s for a four-cylinder truck, most notably a class record run of 142.9 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.


1972 Datsun 510 4-Door Sedan
First introduced in 1968, the Datsun 510 was an attractive, economical, fuel-efficient, fun-to-drive 5-passenger sedan.
Yutaka Katayama, the legendary "Mr. K" of Datsun 240Z fame, pushed Nissan designers and engineers in Japan to create an everyday driver with European style and power enough to keep up on U.S. highways. His benchmark – the BMW 1600.
Over its lifetime, this early execution of the "4-Door Sports Car" went on to sell more than 300,000 units. The Datsun 510 was named by Road & Track as "one of the most important cars of the 20th century."


1947 Tama electric carDuring the 1940s' switch to a peacetime economy, around 200 Tachikawa Aircraft employees moved to the newly established Tokyo Electro Automobile Co., Ltd., which embarked on the development of an electric car. One reason for this was the extreme shortage of gasoline at the time. In 1947, the company succeeded in creating a prototype 2-seater truck (500-kg load capacity) with a 4.5-horsepower motor and a new body design. It was named "Tama" after the area where the company was based.
