    True petrolheads will know and love the AE86 from the cartoons, but the twin-cam coupe is an absolute stunner in its own right. Here's Alex on what makes this retro ride so damn good.

      @PolarArctica 7 років тому +23

      My favorite thing about old cars is the driving experience: you get the raw feeling of the car. Now, I don't mind power steering, but there are some cars nowadays that just feel completely dead when driving it. I've driven a 2011 Subaru Impreza, and something about the steering rubs me the wrong way.

    • @opulan
      @opulan 7 років тому +9

      The thing I miss the most is visibility, newer cars have larger and more intrusive a-pillars every year, and the windows on the sides get smaller and smaller, gone are the days of maximum visibility, now it's all about safety and lower and lower visibility.
      Just look at driver and passenger side widows, most cars now have the sill at shoulder level

    • @ClaspedDread
      @ClaspedDread 7 років тому +164

      all of the car audio in initial D are from the cars real life counterparts, so all of the sounds from takumis 86 they got from an actual 86, and that goes for every car in the show. the amount of detail in inital d is wicked

    • @micheljackson09

    • @VestedUTuber
      @VestedUTuber 7 років тому +53

      With all these things considered, you can go as far to say that the disclaimer at the start of the show (the whole "everything in this show is fictional" thing) is bullshit. The only things that are actually fictional are the story, the characters and some location names. Everything else is real and 100% accurate.
      Well, except for the sound of Takumi's AE86 after the engine gets replaced. It's still real, but not 100% accurate as the sound of the engine at 11,000 RPM in the show is actually Keiichi Tsuchiya's Trueno at 9,000 RPM.

    When Yamaha and Toyota come together to build an engine, you'll always have a gorgeous soundtrack. That's also why the Lexus LFA sounds so great too. The 4AGE on the AE86 is what makes it a classic.

    If toyota just made the new carolla's RWD then they could be possibly having an almost legendary car like the AE86. Shame that car companies keep making 90% FWD.

    • @alkoyyy
      @alkoyyy 10 років тому +54

      the problem with new car isn't just that they're front wheel drive. they're too big too heavy too ugly. they have way too many stupid features on them, they are too complicated.
      and as sad as it may be, I don't think a car like the ae86 would sell very good today. it would feel too unrefined, everything rattling, no sound insulation...
      of course there are ways to correct those "flaws" but then you will end up with a car that's heavy and that will isolate you from the road and the act of driving, it wouldn't be as pure, and that's really what makes the ae86 so great

    • @TheLaXandro
      @TheLaXandro 10 років тому +5

      megaspeed2v2 GT-86 is a purpose-built sportscar. And it does have all the safety and entertainment and soundproofing and all that guff and weighs 1200 kilos and has no practicality whatsoever. And it's a bit too expensive- not like in "like gold", but in "slower than new hot hatches 3/4 the price", so it won't form a cult.

      Dunno man, I'm by no means a petrol head or anything. I only took an slight interest in cars just over two months ago for my first lesson and before that I didn't even know what gears did! I knew next to nothing about cars and I've still got a lot to learn in this kind of field, though I'm near getting my license, but as a manga and anime fan this car is what I really want (and I've only just started watching Initial D lol).

      +Car Throttle When you said about the single thing, I remembered the famous line from Initial D! "Lonely driver" indeed. Too bad not many people feel the same for the early 90's/late 80's Honda prelude. I say that because it shares a lot of similar traits despite not being rwd or having the same weight distribution as the 86. The hachi roku is an awesome machine though.

    This is the spec as sold in the UK. No pop up headlight version was ever sold here. This particular model is the later facelifted version. If I recall, its thirty years since I had one, the car came standard with an lsd. Effectively it had the engine and running gear from the mk1 MR2. To this day I kick myself for selling it.

    I drove a genuine AE86 Trueno GT Apex last week on the actual Mt. Haruna road and can honestly say it's the best car I've ever driven. It was slightly modified - had an LSD & AE101 bottom end, but no car has made me feel that 'connected'. It was unforgettable and is everything that befits the legend & more.

      ***** Quit commenting that. Nobody wants your Lancia. I want an 86 specifically for it's weight, looks, and the white on black, no, not with japanese lettering on the side, but just the beautiful paintjob. You know the worlds drift king swears by these, right? I'll take his advice, not a haters. Not everyone is obsessed with this car from a manga.

    • @wilsonautomotive
      @wilsonautomotive 9 років тому

      ***** No, I say nobody wants it because I've NEVER seen one in person... Given I live in the states and I'm not sure if you can even get one here, but still, it isn't that popular. I never really see anyone talking about it. And I will respectfully disagree to your Celica comment. A GT4 Celica is hard to beat... I'll certainly fact check that comment. I never said your Lancia was bad or "rubbish" now did I? I don't think they're bad, they're actually awesome. Reread that. I am just telling you that visiting this video to shove your car down peoples throats is silly. YOU are the hater. I said nothing negative towards anyone. Yet here you are flaming Toyota it appears. And claiming you aren't the hater? Reread our convo before your next reply, seriously. I'm not trying to argue, just asking you to lay off a little. You're attacking people for liking a car. Really, if everyone shared your taste, we'd all have the exact same car. Where's the fun in that? Let people like what they like.

There's already too many AE86 that ended up being wrapped around a tree. Not saying you're inevitable gonna crash if you buy one but they're certainly not like your average Honda Civic/VW Golf. You really gotta know what you're doing when driving one of these. Why not get a cheap NA Miata for some RWD practice first?
