Tomica Premium No.40 Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86
The AE86 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno are small, front-engine/rear-wheel-drivemodels within the front-engine/front-wheel-drive fifth generation Corolla (E80) range — marketed by Toyota from 1983 to 1987 in coupé and liftback configurations.
Lending themselves to racing, the cars 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, and importantly, a front-engine/rear-drive layout — at a time when this configuration was waning industry-wide.

Here is the new mold of the new Tomica Premium Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86. There are about 4 editions of the Tomica AE86. This new which included a new pair of plastic rear light and 4 spoke signature Toyota rims.
Sadly, the mold did not provide any movable pop-up headlight. For the safety reason, some of the Tomica design did not provide the side mirrors.
