What?? u dont know what is AE86?

Well AE86 also known as Toyota Corolla Levin & Toyota Sprinter Trueno is a small lightweight coupe built by Toyota in 1983. In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (the 3A and 4A) and the E86 represents the 6th revision of the fifth generation(E80 series) of the E model which is the Corolla. The visual difference between the Levin and Trueno is that the former has fixed-headlights and the latter has retractable headlights.The AE86 wasalso known as the Hachi-Roku (ハチロク) (after the numbers eight (ハチ hachi) and six (ロク roku) in Japanese).

Why is it Famous?

This car invented "Drifting". With its rear wheel drive, light weight body and 130hp engine to match. This car is born to be a drift car. Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya drove the AE86 in numerous drift events. Most of the D1GP drivers who have competed have owned an AE86 and the last two D1GP's have been won by drivers with naturally aspirated 16-Valve AE86's; the older, lower-powered Corolla outperforming much newer, faster cars such as the Altezza and Skyline.

For a Japanese car collectors, a Toyota Corolla AE86 is a must to have. With its reputation as a perfect drift car and iconic car as seen on Initial D (Japanese Anime), nothing goes wrong with it.
