The pop-up-headlight twin of the fixed-headlight Corolla Levin, on the same AE86 platform, sold May 1983 – July 1987 as a 3-door liftback (and, alongside the Levin, also as a 2-door notchback coupe). This is Initial D's car. RESEARCH FINDING ON DUPLICATION: this is NOT a near-duplicate of the catalogue's existing US-market Corolla GT-S (also AE86, already published). The JDM/export Trueno GT-APEX ran the 4A-GEU 'bluetop' engine (MAP-sensor EFI, T-VIS variable intake) rated 130 PS / 128 hp at 6,600 rpm — the US Corolla GT-S ran a distinct, federalized 4A-GEC (MAF-sensor EFI for California emissions compliance) rated 112 hp SAE net at 6,600 rpm. Same displacement and compression ratio, but a genuinely different, higher-output tune — 16 hp apart — so this is filed as a separate generation rather than skipped. NOTE: the task brief that seeded this research assumed the engine might be called 'silvertop' or 'redtop' — verified false. Those names belong to the later 20-valve 4A-GE (1991+, AE101/AE111). The AE86's 16-valve engine is properly called 'bluetop'.

Owning one
An estimate, for the GT-APEX trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Audi broke the A7's signature liftback shape for this generation: a three-box sedan version, the A7L, launched in April 2021.
Audi actually launched the sleek A7 fastback before the regular A6 sedan and wagon it's based on — the flashier car came first.
A hydrogen-hybrid Rapide S raced the full 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2013 — the first car ever to run that race on hydrogen fuel.
The RS 7's twin-turbo V8 can quietly shut down half its cylinders — numbers 2, 3, 5 and 8 — to save fuel when you're not asking for all 560 horsepower.
Sold new in North America in modest numbers, nearly all still on road. About 8,000 on North American roads today (estimate).
The Celestiq is the first car GM ever sold to the public built at its Warren, Michigan technical center.
Emperor Akihito's personal car inside the grounds of the Tokyo Imperial Palace was a gray 1.6L Integra sedan — he kept driving it there into his mid-80s.
The RSX Type-S replaced the Integra Type R in Acura's lineup and used a version of Honda's K20 engine rather than the Integra's B-series.
