Asian Collector Cars At the Concours

 

The Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance, in addition to being the second oldest such event in the United States, was one of the first to establish a class for Asian automobile. It has regularly filled with amazing cars such as the 1970 Datsun 240Z. This particular car was produced in the first month of the very first year of 240Z production.

 

This 1978 Datsun 280Z with its 2.8 liter inline six cylinder engine shows the progress Nissan was making with their Datsun (named such for American imports) line.

This 1991 Nissan 300ZX was when the company dropped the Datsun name for the American audience. This particular car has only 9800 original miles.

With only 6900 original miles, this 1979 Toyota Celica GT Coupe has a 2.2 liter 100 horse power four cylinder engine.

This 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo is an example of Toyota's attempt to bring back the two seater sports car. Its 2.0 liter four cylinder engine has a top speed of 142 miles per hour.

Here is a 2006 Honda S2000, a car with a perfect 50/50 front to back weight ratio.

The Acura NSX was Honda's attempt at turning out a super car. This 2000 model of the New Sportscar eXperimental sported a targa top giving it the NSX-T name.
