The Nissan Violet was sold outside of Japan under Nissan's Datsun brand as the Datsun 140J/160J. In the United States, they were marketed as the Datsun 710. It was available in several body styles including a two-door saloon, four-door fastback, two-door coupe, and as an estate. Along with a different name, the Datsun 710 sold in the United States had large separate bumpers in place of the curved, fitted pieces used in other markets. Production of the 710 Series lasted from 1973 through 1977. For 1976, the U.S. version was powered by a 1952cc four-cylinder engine offering both 100 horsepower and 100 ft./lbs of torque.
