The AE86 generation of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno is a small, lightweight coupe or hatchback introduced by Toyota in 1983 as part of the fifth generation Toyota Corolla lineup. For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of "AE86" depicts the 1600 cc RWD model from the range.
While other fifth-generation Corollas shifted to the FF (front-engine, front-wheel-drive) layout, the Corolla Levin AE86 retained the FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) configuration, and its responsive driving performance won it the support of FR enthusiasts everywhere. The engine was upgraded from the 2T-GEU to the more powerful 4A-GEU, and high-grade models came equipped with electric windows and power-assisted steering. As the Corolla Levin also moved to the FF layout with the unveiling of the sixth-generation Corolla, the AE86 model became the last Levin with the FR configuration, and it is affectionately remembered as "the 86" by die-hard fans to this day.
The One and only..That spurs it all..
Initial D (Japanese: 頭文字D（イニシャル・ディー） Hepburn: Inisharu Dī?) is a Japanese sports manga series written and illustrated by Shuichi Shigeno. It was serialized in Young Magazine from 1995 to 2013, with the chapters collected into 48 tankōbon volumes by Kodansha. The story focuses on the world of illegal Japanese street racing, where all the action is concentrated in the mountain passes and rarely in cities or urban areas, and with the drift racing style emphasized in particular. Professional race car driver and pioneer of drifting Keiichi Tsuchiya helped with editorial supervision. The story is centered on the prefecture of Gunma, more specifically on several mountains in the Kantō region and in their surrounding cities and towns. Although some of the names of the locations the characters race in have been fictionalized, all of the locations in the series are based on actual locations in Japan.
AE86 revolutionary
Keiichi Tsuchiya (土屋 圭市 Tsuchiya Keiichi?, born January 30, 1956) is a professional race car driver. He is also known as the Drift King(ドリキン Dorikin?) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events and his role in popularizing drifting as a motorsport. He is also known for touge (mountain pass) driving.
The car he drives, a Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno, has become one of the most popular sports cars; the car is also known as "Hachi-Roku" in Japan (hachi-roku meaning "eight six"); his car is also called "The Little Hachi that could." A video known as Pluspy documents Tsuchiya's touge driving with his AE86. He also is a consultant for one of the popular comic books and manga, Initial D, of which the main characterTakumi Fujiwara is a character which describes him.
