Likely to start on a mock up for a page about Takumi's Eight-Six. Feel it might be good to have different pages for cars, for easier categorisation and to remove confusion. Takumi Fujiwara's Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX (AE86) (originally owned by Bunta Fujiwara), also nicknamed The White Ghost of Akina, is one of the main vehicles in the Initial D series. Bunta Fujiwara used this car to set the fastest downhill record on Mount. Akina and then used it as the delivery for his tofu shop. It would later become legendary after his son, Takumi, used the car to beat Keisuke Takahashi of the Akagi RedSuns, he would later use it during his time as part of Project D before retiring the car at the end of the series.

Death and Legacy
During Takumi's final race with Shinji Inui of Sidewinder, the Eight-Six is pushed to its limits. In a last-ditch effort to overtake Shinji's Eight-Six, Takumi performs a Blind Attack. As he turns his lights back on, Takumi realises that he is revving his engine at 11,000RPM, and seconds later this over-revving causes his engine to explode. In the Manga, despite Matsumoto offering to help find a new engine, Takumi decides to get rid of the Eight-Six. Yuichi Tachibana notes that it is an appropriate end to the car, with the car disappearing into legend with its perfect record intact. In Final Stage, Takumi instead keeps the car, choosing to fix it up over time instead of getting rid of it.

In MF Ghost, Takumi would go on to mentor Kanata Livington, who drives a Toyota GT86, the spiritual successor to the AE86.

Original
The Trueno was originally fitted with a first generation 1.6L 16v Bluetop 4A-GEU. This engine blew during Takumi's battle with Kyoichi Sudo.

Replacement
Masashi Suzuki replaces the destroyed engine with a 1.6L 20v Silvertop 4A-GELU (carbureted with dry sump oiling system in the manga) that Bunta Fujiwara had sourced. This engine is originally from a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Group A AE101, as this is a race car engine it would be illegal to drive on public roads - something that Yuichi Tachibana points out to Bunta. This engine is used up until the end of the series, with Takumi accidentally blowing the engine for a second time after coming out of a Blind Attack at 11,000 RPM during his battle with Shinji Inui.
