The first feature car is the Toyota Corolla Levin/ Sprinter Trueno (AE86). This is one the the original cars used for drifting. It has been immortalized by Japanese cartoons and films about drifting. The most well known is Initial D (a classic anime series about drifting). Although not the most powerful or prettiest drift car, the AE86 is admired as one of the best platforms for a drift machine.
You might be looking at the name and thinking, "Why is it so long?" Well just to clarify, The car is a Toyota Corolla. The "Levin" and "Sprinter Trueno" labels are simply different models of the car in Japan. In the US, they are the SR5 and GT-S models. And if that part gets confusing, "AE86" is the chassis code used to identify the car. So when all else fails, just say "AE86"
