AE86 vs GR86

[gh0st]

Hello everybody,

Holy crap! I found something amazing on youtube!

It's the legendary drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya vs Takumi Fujiwara from Initial D!

Let me know what you think!

It really looks great! But I think it's a compilation of these GR86 ads:

If they are pumping out ads like these, they are certainly aiming to sell the GR86 to first generation Initial D fans.

Wow that's amazing! You found that quickly! I'm pretty sure Toyota always targeted GT86 and GR86 specifically toward Initial D fans. Keichii was involved in their designs. Too bad the GR86 will likely be on sale for about two years in Europe due to safety and environmental regulations tightening in about two years.

Appearantly there is now a thing called Fasterclass.

Here is an ad about it with Vin Diesel:

There is an AE86 to spot inside the garage at 1:18. A very deliberate placement I guess.

Hey yeah, that’s some great attention to detail! I guess the ae86 has become Toyota’s main mascot at this point xD

There is no Vin Diesel.. only that greek guy that looks a little bit like him from a distance (and something in your eye).
