Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno

Toyota AE86 is the internal designation for the Toyota Sprinter Trueno and Corolla Levin series of compact cars produced from 1983 to 1987. The Sprinter Truenos can be differentiated from its counterpart, the Corolla Levin, from its headlights. The AE86 has gained significant popularity as the titular car featured in the anime and manga series Initial D, as well as in the drifting and motorsport circuit. This casting, while similar to the older Toyota AE-86 Corolla casting as designed by Jun Imai, is an entirely new tooling; this casting is larger and represents a largely stock AE86, whereas the older casting is designed to represent a heavily modified AE86 intended for racing, particularly those which raced in the British Touring Car Championship during the 1980s. Both castings share the same stripped-down racing interior. This is the first new Hot Wheels Toyota casting to be produced after the Toyota license originally expired in 2017.
