It’s a drifting car. Definitely not “famous” in rally circles, it’s virtually unheard of
The fuck are you on about? Easily one of the most popular rally cars and belongs in a class of popular classics: eg. Mk2 escorts, evos, classic minis, etc. This is in Ireland at least… don’t know about rest of the world
Ha ha Ireland’s in a world of its own when it comes to rally ❤️
You’re god damn right
I don’t know about famous, but I remember seeing a lot of them in racing back in the 80s.
While in production, the AE86 was a popular choice for showroom stock, Group A, and Group N racing, especially in rallying and circuit races. After production ended, many private teams continued to race the AE86, and it remains a popular choice for rallying and club races today.
Aren’t the AE86s pop up headlights and the AE85s fixed headlights?
Lol no, AE86s are both fixed and pop up and these designation are used for different engine/chassis. The AE86 gets 1.6L 4A-GE, meanwhile AE85 gets the weaker 1.5L 3S-GE.
No idea but I will blame the differences on this being an article from the UK.
Nah, difference between 85 and 86 is in its spec
The difference between pop-up and not pop-up variants is in model: Corolla levin 85/86 doesn’t have pop up headlights and Sprinter trueno 85/86 has them
