Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin

It’s occasionally whispered, in the darker recesses of the internet, that the design of the 4A-GE engine, made famous in the AE86, is based on the design of the Ford Escort BDA engine from the late 70s rally cars.

It’s occasionally shouted, in all caps, in some of the darker recesses of the internet, that the RS-8 alloy wheel, made by the RS-Watanabe company of Japan, are the best looking “retro” 8-spoke wheel known to man.

I’m somewhat inclined to believe the former is mostly accurate, but about the later there can be no argument.

/I found the pic in this thread on retro-rides, but it’s actually from the RS-Watanabe site.

PS: Bonus brown Hachi at Speedhunters.
