The AE86
Isn't this the car we all know and love? The car that started the lightweight, low power, RWD trend? Ultimately this car means different things to us all, to some it means Super Eurobeat, and to others it defines drifting. But we can all agree that this car is special. It's the car that put the Japanese Drifting to the circuit and to the rest of the world.
This is the Toyota 86.
The Toyota AE86 is a legendary car that's fitted with a neat little 1.6L engine putting out 123 hp and 131 N-m of torque. While these weren't groundbreaking in terms of numbers, this car was special thanks to it's rear wheel drive-train, which made it a hit with the Japanese Market. The Japanese loved this car so much they even made an anime with this car as the main focus.
Aside from the 86's heart-stopping lines and it's perfect Rear Wheel Drive weight distribution, The 86 turns out to be a great race-car, being the favoured car of many when participating in the D1 Grand Prix and many other street events involving grip racing. This legendary racing pedigree only adds to the 86's charm and will forever last in car enthusiasts' childhood memories.
