OK so I am going to start work on a overhaul of the car pages. Been wanting to do this for a while so I'm quite excited. Itsuki Takeuchi's Toyota Corolla Levin SR (AE85) (known simply as the Eight-Five, or the Eight-Five Turbo) is the only Toyota AE85 shown in Initial D. Itsuki purchases the car believing it to be a Corolla Levin AE86, after being inspired by Takumi Fujiwara and his own AE86.

Akina SpeedStars
Inspired by Takumi Fujiwara's victories against Keisuke Takahashi and Takeshi Nakazato, Itsuki purchases himself a Levin. This car arrives five days after the battle with Takeshi, with Itsuki keeping it a secret until the day it arrives, to surprise his friends. After turning on the engine, Kenji and Iketani note that the car doesn't sound as it should. After popping the hood, Yuichi inspects the engine and comes to the conclusion that the Eight-Six Levin that Itsuki thought he owned is actually an Eight-Five. With this revelation, the other members of the SpeedStars burst out in laughter, expressing amazement that he even found an Eight-Five. This causes Itsuki to run away, with Takumi following to console him, explaining that he is actually envious of Itsuki for having a car of his own. In an effort to cheer him up, Takumi agrees to go up Mt. Akina with Itsuki that evening. The two are confronted by several members of the Myogi NightKids (members of Thunder Fire in the anime), who mock the Eight-Five before leaving. Takumi drives Itsuki's Eight-Five on Akina's downhill, outrunning the racers, which leaves Itsuki proud of his car, saying that any car can run decently with enough skill.

Exclusively in First Stage, Itsuki drove his Eight-Five on the double date with him and Saori, Takumi and Mogi. Itsuki also used the Eight-Five for his other date with Saori, and ended up crashing his car when he was attacked by Shingo Shoji on the drive home. This caused him to never see Saori again, as well as meaning he wasnt present for the battle between Takumi and Shingo. In the manga however, Itsuki was on Mt. Akina with his Eight-Five when Shingo and Takumi started their battle. Later on, Takumi secretly swaps out his Eight-Six with the Eight-Five so that he can go and race Impact Blue on Usui Pass, shocking Bunta. During a drive on Akina, where Itsuki was trying to improve his skills with Takumi as a passenger, Itsuki is passed by Seiji Iwaki's Evo IV, which had previously been seen during Takumi's battle with Kenta Nakamura (although the Evo was not present in the events of First Stage).

After Takumi's defeat against Kyoichi Sudo, Itsuki chooses against attending the race between Kyoichi and Ryosuke to instead go up to Akina in his Eight-Five with Takumi, attempting to console him because of the loss of his car and engine.

Engine
The Levin is fitted with a 1.5L litre, 8 valve 3A-U. This engine had 83HP and revved at 5600RPM. It is later fitted with a bolt-on turbo, increasing its power to 150HP and allowing it to rev at 7500RPM. It had a displacement of 1452cc and has a SOHC (Single Over Head Camshaft).
