Initial D fans are probably very familiar with the AE86 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno. These compact front-engine/rear-drive models within the fifth generation Corolla range, produced from 1983 to 1987 in coupe and hatchback configurations, are popular with the drifting crowd. What happens if you modify one to go off-road? You probably get something like this Toyota “Pandemic” AE86 Off-Road Edition by Track_Hype.

These were popular with racers even back in the 80s because they were light, affordable, easily modifiable and combined a five-speed manual transmission, optional limited slip differential, MacPherson strut front suspension, high revving (7800 rpm), twin-cam engine with oil cooler (e.g., in the US), near 50/50 front/rear weight balance. However, the most important feature is its front-engine/rear-drive layout, which at the time, was a waning configuration.
