The 1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S (AE86), also referred to as "Hachi-Roku" ("86"), is a sport compact produced by Toyota for the North American market from 1983 to 1987.

The Toyota AE86 was produced alongside a non-pop up headlight variant, the Corolla Levin. The AE86 was also sold in Japan as the Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex, albeit with slightly different specifications.

The Corolla GT-S is based on a light RWD platform and powered by a '4A-GE' entitled DOHC engine with 119bhp.

The AE86's affordability and driving traits made it a popular choice in motorsports and a favourite by car enthusiasts. In 2012, a modern reinterpretation of the AE86 was introduced which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru.

Need for Speed: ProStreet[]

The Corolla GT-S appears in Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 1 vehicle with a $16,000 price tag.

Given its light chassis and rear-wheel drive layout, the Corolla GT-S has notable handling characteristics: It responds quickly to steering inputs by the player and rarely loses grip. This makes the GT-S particularly useful in difficult race tracks and drift events as its handling makes long and smooth drifts possible.

The GT-S has moderate acceleration in consequence of a small four-cylinder engine, which delivers a low top speed and underwhelming performance when driving uphill but can be greatly improved with upgrades.

Players will find the GT-S to be most useful in Drift and Grip. It also fares well in Wheelie Competitions due to its low weight.

Need for Speed: Nitro[]

The Corolla GT-S appears in Need for Speed: Nitro as a class C vehicle and costs $55,000. It is rated 1 in speed, 2 in both acceleration and handling, and 3 in both drifting and strength.

Zarinah, the top racer in Singapore, drives a Corolla GT-S in all the location's Bronze Cup race events except for the Drift Challenge, Time Attack, and Speed Trap events.

Zarinah[]

Zarinah's Corolla GT-S can be unlocked as a collectible car for use in both Arcade Mode and Career Mode, once all stars are obtained in all Singapore Bronze Cup events.

Need for Speed: Shift[]

The Corolla GT-S appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 1 car with a 1.50 car rating and can be purchased for $18,000. It is capable of a Works conversion.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Corolla GT-S was made available in Need for Speed: World on May 14, 2010 during the fourth closed beta session as a tier 1 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a D class car.

The Corolla GT-S is slower than any other tier 1 starter car in terms of power. However, this trait was compensated with a superior handling. it has a good acceleration and handling because of a low weight. Compared to more expensive D class cars, its acceleration might be lacking.

Players might find the Corolla GT-S to be a good choice for swapping their E class vehicle with a D class one. Similar to the Nissan Silvia (S15), it also fares well in higher classes, as long as upgrades are regularly applied. It is less useful in pursuits events due to its small chassis, although lower heat level events can be completed successfully.

Trivia[]

  • A few cars feature inaccuracies with their portrayal in some games, with many derived from differences between the 1985 pre-facelift model year sold until July 1985 and the 1986 post-facelift model year sold from August 1985:
    • In Need for Speed: Underground 2, it has longer side decals and is fitted with "pizza-cutter" wheels, of which are both indicative of the pre-facelift 1985 model year.
    • In the Shift series, it is fitted with gold painted "Snowflake" wheels which were only made available with the 1986 Sprinter Trueno Black Limited, a final 400-unit production run of the GT Apex.
    • In Need for Speed: The Run, it has longer side decals applied to the 1985 pre-facelift model year.
  • In Need for Speed: Underground 2, Need for Speed: Shift, Need for Speed: The Run, and Need for Speed: Edge, the Corolla GTS lacks its two tone body paint.
  • In Shift 2: Unleashed, the Works conversion of the car resembles the 1999 JGTC Toyota Sprinter Trueno that was raced in the GT300 category by Kraft.[1]
  • In the Nintendo Wii and 3DS Releases of Need for Speed: The Run and Need for Speed: Edge, the Corolla GTS has body painted wing mirrors.
