Similarly the AE85 was commonly called 'Hachi-Go ( ハチゴー)', meaning 'eight-five'.īracketing a minor external facelift, models marketed between 19 are called ' zenki' (前期, lit. The AE86 is also called the 'Hachi-Roku ( ハチロク)', Japanese for 'eight-six'. In Toyota's code language, the 'A' designates the car's engine (4A series), 'E' designates Corolla, '8' designates fifth generation ( E80 series) and '6' designates the variant within this generation. The name AE86 derives from Toyota's internal code during the car's development, designating the 1600 cc RWD model from the fifth generation of the Corolla. In Japan, the Sprinter Trueno was exclusive to Toyota Japan dealerships called Toyota Auto Store, while the Corolla Levin was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store. The nameplate Trueno derives from the Spanish word for thunder, and Levin derives from the Middle English for lightning. Toyota also announced that this reboot is temporary, and parts will be available only as long as stocks last. Rear axle half shafts have also been scheduled for new production. In November 2021, Toyota temporarily restarted the production of a limited number of parts for the AE86, and dealers began taking orders for new steering knuckle arms and rear brake calipers. The AE86 would go on to inspire the Toyota 86 (2012–present), a 2+2 sports car jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, manufactured by Subaru - and marketed also as the Toyota GT86, Toyota FT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. In 2015, Road & Track called the AE86 'a cult icon, inextricably interwoven with the earliest days of drifting.' The AE86 was featured centrally in the popular, long-running Japanese manga and anime series titled Initial D (1995–2013) - as the main character's drift and tofu delivery car. Widely popular for Showroom Stock, Group A, and Group N, Rally and Club racing, the cars' inherent qualities also earned the AE86 an early and enduring international prominence in the motorsport discipline of drifting.

Lending themselves to racing, the cars were light, affordable, easily modifiable and combined a five-speed manual transmission, optional limited slip differential, MacPherson strut front suspension, high revving (7800 rpm), twin-cam engine with oil cooler (e.g., in the US), near 50/50 front/rear weight balance, and importantly, a front-engine/rear-drive layout - at a time when this configuration was waning industry-wide. The AE86 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno are small, front-engine/rear-wheel-drive models within the front-engine/front-wheel-drive fifth generation Corolla (E80) range - marketed by Toyota from 1983 to 1987 in coupé and liftback configurations.
