The European “Final Spec” Datsun 240Z
When Nissan started selling the 240Z to Europe, they didn't just take the US version and put in translated manuals.
No, they realized that the cars had to be significantly modified for the EU market.
Spoilers, a modified suspension, different lights...
It was a long road, and yet the EU-Spec project came about by chance.
