About the Nissan Leopard
In September 1980, Nissan introduced the Leopard, and the 280X SF-L was the top grade in the Leopard line-up. The 2-door hardtop body featured flush joints which were employed between windows and body panels. A 2,800cc inline-6 DOHC engine was capable of 145hp. Its luxurious interior had leather seats and technological advancements such as a drive-computer, which received plenty of attention at the time. This car is known as a pioneer of Japanese personal luxury cars.
