1/24 CAR BOUTIQUE CLUB AE86 TRUENO 85 TOYOTA

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.

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.

This kit of the Toyota AE86 Trueno from 1985 includes parts to reproduce the front and rear bumper spoilers, sidestep, gutted interior, muffler, racing-style steering wheel, racing bucket seat, roll cage, aero bonnet, and 16-inch TE37 wheels. The retractable headlights do not open or close.
