The AE86 was the Corolla Toyota didn't modernise: a light rear-wheel-drive car on old underpinnings with a new twin-cam engine, which went on to win touring-car titles in Europe and Britain and became the car Japan learned to drift in. The Sprinter Trueno is the version with pop-up headlamps. DeAGOSTINI's 1:8 partwork builds a stock 1983 GT-APEX over 110 issues, in die-cast metal, with motorised headlamps and recorded engine sound.
