The Toyota Corolla Levin SR AE85 is the Corolla variant of the Toyota AE85. It is also known by its chassis code "AE85" or simply as the Eight-Five (Hachi-Go), both of which also apply to other AE85 models.
Information
The AE85 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno are small, front-engine/rear-drive models within the fifth generation Corolla range — marketed by Toyota from 1983 to 1987 in coupe and hatchback configurations. They were the last Corollas to offer rear-wheel drive.
In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (3A series), "E" represents the Corolla, "8" represents the fifth generation (E80 series) and "5" represents the variation within this generation.
While the AE85 shares its chassis and design with the AE86, it was designed for economy unlike the AE86, which was designed for performance.
Like the AE86, the AE85 was available as either the Corolla Levin or Sprinter Trueno, both of which came as 3door or 2door models. Only the 3 door Corolla Levin AE85 is shown in Initial D.
The name Levin is from the New Zealand town with a history of motor racing. The Levin featured fixed headlights, unlike its Trueno sibling which featured retractable "pop up" headlights. The Eight-Five line came installed with a 3A-U engine.
Notable Users
- Itsuki Takeuchi accidentally purchases an AE85 Levin, when he had meant to purchase an AE86 Levin. He eventually accepted it after Takumi outran trash talking racers, and later fitted a bolt-on Turbo on the Eight-Five.
