"Any of the things the Sprinter Trueno is famous for could have made it an immortal JDM hero alone. Added up, it’s clear that the humble Corolla-based coupe that slays giants on the track and in the mountain passes is as legendary as they come. Widely known by the chassis code AE86 (from which the Japanese nickname Haichi-Roku, or “86,” comes from), it initially competed in various forms of production car racing, but then a video starring the Sprinter and a certain racer named Keiichi Tsuchiya changed everything. That video was “Pluspy,” and Tsuchiya is better known by the name Dorikin (“Drift King”)—and that video is generally considered the birth of drifting as we know it today. The Sprinter’s immediate popularity was only magnified when it was featured as the star vehicle in the wildly successful Initial D manga and anime series. The Sprinter Trueno deserves all this recognition and fame because it’s such a great package—extremely lightweight (just over a ton), the rear-wheel drive coupe has a strong and highly-tunable 4A-GE engine. The 1.6-liter motor makes 128 horsepower stock, using a twin-cam, 16-valve design—one of the first mass-produced motors in the work to use this advanced design. Add in a supremely balanced chassis, easy to modify for racing, drifting, or for show, and it’s no wonder that decades after it went out of production the Trueno is still a major presence in the drifting and touge scenes."—Official description[1]
The 1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex - abbreviated as "Toyota Trueno" - is a rear-wheel drive sports car by Toyota.
It appears in all main series titles except Forza Motorsport 7.
It also appears in Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious as an A.I. opponent.
Synopsis[]
The Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex is the sports variant of the fifth generation Toyota Corolla from 1983 to 1987. It was offered as a rear-driven model to the front-driven Corolla, and produced as a three-door liftback or two-door coupé.[2]
In Japan, the Trueno was exclusive to Toyota Auto Store dealerships. The Corolla Levin, a very similar model with fixed headlights instead of pop-up headlights, was sold in Toyota Corolla Store dealerships. Export markets received both models with the Corolla name.
Both the Sprinter Trueno and Corolla Levin are codenamed AE85 or AE86, with the latter referring to a more powerful 1.6L engine, whereas the AE85 refers to a weaker 1.5L engine. The Forza variant is an AE86 liftback model with the 1.6 liter 4A-GE engine. In previous model generations, the Trueno and Levin names were reserved for DOHC-equipped models, although the GT badge was now used to indicate a DOHC model.[3]
In 2012, a modern reinterpretation as the Toyota GT86 was introduced, which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, who launched the Subaru BRZ.
Platform[]
The Trueno is based on a front-engine, rear-wheel drive chassis with a live-axle rear suspension derived from the fourth generation Toyota Corolla. It is notable for offering small body dimensions and a low weight of 2094 lb (950 kg), giving it great agility on corners.
Drivetrain[]
The '4A-GEU' engine is equipped with a double-overhead camshaft (DOHC) that uses 16 valves and T-VIS (Toyota-Variable Intake System), an early variable valve timing design to increase low-end torque. It produces 128 hp (95 kW) at 6600 rpm and 110 ft·lb (149 N·m) of torque.[4]
