What is toyota a86?

The Toyota A86 is a sports car that was produced by Toyota from 1983 to 1987. It is also known as the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno (depending on the specific market it was sold in). The A86 was designed to be a lightweight and agile sports car, with a rear-wheel drive layout and a front-engine configuration.

The A86 was powered by a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produced 128 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The A86 had a top speed of around 125 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 8 seconds.

The A86 gained popularity in the drifting community due to its light weight and rear-wheel drive setup, and has since become a cult classic among car enthusiasts. It was also featured in the anime and manga series Initial D, further cementing its status as a beloved sports car.

In 2012, Toyota announced the release of a successor to the A86, named the Toyota 86 (also known as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S in different markets). The 86 shares many design elements and features with the A86, including its lightweight construction, rear-wheel drive layout, and agile handling.
