Few cars have achieved cult status like the Toyota AE86. Immortalised through motorsport, touge runs, and pop culture, the Levin remains a symbol of lightweight simplicity and driver-focused engineering. Built on Toyota’s FR platform, the AE86 offered balance, agility, and a rev-happy engine—qualities that continue to resonate with enthusiasts today.

This particular example is a 1984 Toyota Levin, finished in classic black. Under the bonnet lies the legendary 1.6L 4A-GE 16-valve engine with TVIS, paired to a 5-speed manual transmission—delivering the analogue, high-revving experience that defines the AE86 spirit. Breathing through a K&N open pod and an FGK 4-1 exhaust manifold with custom piping, the car’s soundtrack is raw and authentic.

The chassis has been enhanced with custom adjustable suspension paired with KGMM front springs, KYB dampers, TRD rear springs, a Cusco front strut bar, and custom poly bushings—ensuring sharper response and confidence in every corner. Cooling is managed by a 3-core copper radiator, a practical upgrade for spirited driving.

Inside, the cabin has been fully updated to late-model Kouki Levin specifications, creating a period-correct yet refined atmosphere. A Nardi Classic steering wheel ties it all together—offering the tactile connection every driver craves. Externally, a custom ducktail spoiler adds a subtle motorsport-inspired touch.

Celebrated for its purity and revered across generations, the AE86 represents an era when driving was defined by skill, feedback, and connection. This example, with tasteful upgrades and thoughtful preservation, embodies why Levin remains one of the most desirable Japanese icons of the 1980s.
