"Practicality and appeal have rarely met more successfully than in the Datsun 510 series.. [sic] The 510’s influence is still felt today and, due to its popularity and easy upgradeability, it is rare to find a stock model these days. Build one in Forza Horizon then take to the roads or rally circuit to experience the joy of this JDM icon."
—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]

The 1970 Datsun 510 - also referred to as "Nissan Datsun 510" and abbreviated as "Datsun 510 '70"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive sedan by Datsun, a brand of Nissan[3].

It appears in Forza Motorsport 3 and all subsequent Motorsport series titles. It also appears in Forza Horizon as part of the February Jalopnik Car Pack and all subsequent Horizon series titles.

Synopsis[]

The Datsun 510 is a compact car sold by Nissan's export brand Datsun from 1968 to 1973. It was designed as a competitor to the BMW 1600 by offering sporting handling characteristics for a lower price. The 510 was also available with a strong factory racing support that allowed it to earn motorsport victories in numerous championships.

The 510 is powered by a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) litre engine with 96 hp (72 kW) and 100 ft·lb (136 N·m) designed by Prince Motor Company.

Although it is modestly powered for modern standards, the 510 offers a well-rounded chassis incorporating MacPherson front struts, a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, front disc brakes and a weight of 2127 lb (965 kg). This makes the 510 along with the Datsun 2000 Roadster, which is barely heavier than the 510, the lightest Nissan car from the 1960s and 1970s production decades.[4]
