Trivia[]
- General
- The Datsun 280Z is the oldest Japanese car in the entire Asphalt series.
- Despite having "Datsun" in its name, the car is branded as Nissan and displays its logo in the games. This is because exported Nissan models would be renamed as Datsun. The Datsun 280Z can also be called as the Nissan S30 or Nissan Fairlady Z.
- This is further evident with the Porsche Update as the 280Z shows up in the Nissan brand filter and the lack of a Datsun filter.
- A similar case occurs with the Acura NSX 2005. Acura is a luxury marque branch of Honda and in certain countries are badged and branded as such.
- The exception to this are the Honda S2000 and Honda Integra Type-R which do not have an Acura renaming.
- A similar case occurs with the Acura NSX 2005. Acura is a luxury marque branch of Honda and in certain countries are badged and branded as such.

- This is yet another case of a car outperforming its successor(s) in the game.
- However, this is inverted with the Nissan 370Z Special Edition.

- The Datsun 280Z is the only Car Mastery-unlockable car introduced in the Car Mastery Update that uses a pre-existing engine sound in the game as opposed to a brand new sound.
- It is also the first car that uses the i6 Engine card introduced in that same update.
- During a pre-race countdown, the rear wheels for the 280Z will be shown as being very close to the wheel arch. The garage view of the car does have the wheels properly aligned.
