Toyota Trueno Spotted

Cyrus43 · 19th November 2008, 15:21

Guys, i was coming back from the Autocar Performance Show on saturday and a burgandy/maroonish Toyota Touerno Passed by me at Sion. I am 100% sure that it was a ThreeDoor and it was not a new car. It was Quite dusty looked used. It was absolutely stock though.

I know this is no supercar but it is a favourite of quite a few people here, especially SalilPawar..

Anywyas, i havent got any pictures of it, hope someone can spot it again.

You mean the Trueno ( sprinter ) right? I have seen a white one in Bombay. I am sure there are more on the road.

I'm still to spot one, would have been awesome if you had taken the pictures.

P.S. you mean the trueno right? was it the one with flip up headlights?

If im not mistaken you're talking about the AE86(hachi-roku) ? If so, that's an awesome find!

Toyota Trueno, right?

I think the last of these were made in 99/00, kinda popular in drifting scene.

Any idea on the model of the one you spotted??

OT: These are the last models i believe the ones without the flip-up headlights:

I know about a White trueno which is getting modded to the Initial D type design. Complete body kit, performance and wheels etc. The car was in real bad shape when it reached the garage, but should be on road soon.

Basically a Corolla Coupe. Was sold as the 'Paseo' in the US. Early 90s.

Cyrus what Trueno you spotted?..was it a AE86 or any other gen...

heavy_foot · 20th November 2008, 12:41

BTW the thread title needs to be edited, its Trueno and not Touerno.

Cyrus43 · 21st November 2008, 01:43

Whoops!! Mis-spelled the name!! Yes, it is the AE-86 i spotted. With the Flip up Head LAmps. The only reason i spotted it, is that those amazing flip up lamps were up.

Is this the one you are talking about cyrus? Did u manage to get any pictures.

The white one is a levin. AE-86 is a legend, which introduced 4age revolution.

The car was also made famous by the anime - Initial D... The main character in the cartoon - Takumi is based on a professional japanese racing driver called Keiichi Tsuchiya, who also hosts a car show called Best Motoring.

Tsuchiya is the original drift king, he's the one credited as the founder of the motorsport. He makes a cameo appearence in F&F Tokyo Drift as well...
