It was October 1969 when Nissan kicked off the Z car saga, with the original 240Z packing a modest 151 hp, even in the six-cylinder version sold on the US market under the Datsun brand.
Well, here we are, almost four decades later, with the Japanese carmaker looking to reinvent its Z mobile while crossover rumors related to the matter are getting stronger by the day.

However, we don't want to discuss the sales- and eco-friendly future of Nissan's sportscar. Instead, we're here to discuss a Datsun 240Z that easily deserves the Unfairlady Z nickname.

It's enough to check out the machine's power figure and you'll understand why we chose the nickname above for this wild ride. This Nissan packs almost ten times its original power, allowing the driver to control no less than 1,400 horses.

The vehicle is run by a team in Qatar and you can see it in action in the video below. The crew over at Al Anabi Performance may have a thing for US metal, as we've shown you in the past, but they're no strangers to Toyota shenanigans, either.

The heart of this 240Z is the infamous Z2J engine, with the US mechanics of the team massaging the mill to the sweet output mentioned above.

The piece of footage bellow allows us to see the Unfairlady Z at work and you'll notice the beast is battling it out with another Nissan, one that happens to wear the same livery. We're talking about an R32 Nissan Skyline.

Now, before you build any expectations for the battle, we'll have to remind you there's a massive gap between the level to which the tuning market has pushed these two platforms. Even so, the Datsun manages to grab plenty of attention. For instance, the lack of a wheelie bar means this is the kind of car that likes to go all romantic on its driver, showing them the stars with every possible occasion.
