The most voted by the audience in the last issue is the Toyota AE86, and I know that you are actually interested in not the car itself, but the youth and fantasy that this car carries too much blood, beauty, and original heart.
"Last night I lost to an AE86 in Akinayama, he drifted around the corner with inertia, his car was fast, I only saw him with a tofu shop sign, if you know who he is, please tell him, Saturday night, I will wait for him at Akinayama."
This line, which almost all car fans are familiar with, represents the youth memories of a generation. In 1995, the manga "Head Text D" began to be serialized, and in 1998, the first anime came out, and in the following ten years, countless classic works including songs, banzai, and movies emerged.
The teenagers in the tofu shop, driving AE86 like brilliant meteors across the night sky of countless Gunma Prefectures, JDM has become the mellow brew of the world, ignorant teenagers discuss drifting over the bends in the streets, and the youths who have a sense of honor and disgrace begin to cheer for Takumi's counterattacks, and the walls of their rooms without exception are all hung with red sun convoys, as if "Head Character D" will never stop like the monsoon.
But the story always ends, and with the rapid encounter between the Subaru Impreza and Toyota GT86 in the final episode of the 2014 anime at Akinayama, the classic carnival that enlightened countless people's car dreams also came to an end.
In the "Head Text D" movie, my favorite character at that time was Motegi Natsuki, and my most hated character was also Motegi Natsuki. I remember the Fujiwara tofu shop, and the car god Fujiwara Takumi, who drove 86, met her with short hair when he was undefeated on Mount Akina.
But reality always makes the good become memories, I didn't understand it at the time, and now I finally know how heartbroken Tuohai was when I saw Natsuki and the old man driving a Mercedes hugging each other. The most sad thing is that "Fujiwara Takumi's Toyota AE86 is fast, it can't catch up with Natsuki who sits in a Mercedes-Benz.".
It was this scene that gave birth to a green song, which was also playing in my headphones at this time - "All the Way north".

The supporting role in the movie "Head Text D" is also a top big coffee, no matter how people evaluate the current Chen Guanxi, but few people question the appearance of Chen Guanxi in "Head Text D". The way he smokes on his "White Comet of Akagi" is absolutely classic.
Yu Wenle, the character of the classic line at the beginning, is actually a combination of Takeshi Nakasato and Keisuke Takahashi, which is an adaptation of the movie.
Du Wenze left a GT-R fan favorite meme - I want to buy GT-R.
And Chen Xiaochun and Liu Qihong these two people modeling quite anime sense, the big BOSS "Jingyi" after the overturn, lonely walking on the mountain road, there is a man's romance.
Because of the "head text D", so that many Japanese anime fans around the world snapped up AE86, in fact, AE86 is only the chassis code of a model of Toyota, which was once used only by the manufacturer's internal personnel, but now it has become an irreplaceable myth in the hearts of global car fans.
Here to test you, do you know what D in "Head Text D" means? Answer: The original name of "Initial D" D is an abbreviation for Drift, which translates to "Drift First". In fact, there are layers of meaning in the play, which also alludes to Dream, dreams, and the pursuit of dreams by a group of car lovers.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > why the protagonist's car is an AE86</h1>
The protagonist's choice of car begins with the personal experience of Shuichi Shigeno, the original author of the manga "Head Character D". Shuichi Shigeno has loved manga since childhood, and is also a die-hard fan of motor vehicles. Before creating "Head Text D", he had already embarked on his own comic path by relying on works such as "Speed Rush" and "Speed Crazy Love" (few people should have seen these two comics).
At just 19 years old, Shuichi Shigeno bought his first car, Toyota TRUENO, which we know as the AE86, by drawing comics and earning royalties.
Therefore, there is no accident in this world, there is only inevitability, and the birth of "Head Text D" was a choice made by Shuichi Shigeno when he was young, and because of this, he was obsessed with modified cars and running mountains. In the process of running the mountain road, Shigeno gradually discovered that the corner is the true soul of the mountain road, and the speed and choice of the route when entering the corner are very exquisite. In order to make the greatest optimization in the choice of routes, he boldly tried to lean the car as far as possible to the inner road, and finally studied the legendary "drainage channel bend". Unexpectedly, the comics are all true.
Then I have to mention another person here, that is, Japan's grandmaster drifter Keiichi Tsuchiya. In order to ensure the quality of his work, Shigeno Hiromichi hired the most professional AE86 driver to be the technical consultant of the manga, and Tsuchiya himself praised it after watching "Head Text D".
The AE86, a rear-drive coupe from Toyota, became the link between the two. As a manga artist, Shuichi Shigeno also mirrored a part of himself and Keiichi Tsuchiya to the protagonist of "Head Text D", and finally created the Crouching Tiger of Fujiwara Takumi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what kind of car the AE86 is</h1>
Although almost everyone in China now knows the AE86, the real trade name of this car --- Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno are little known. Yes, Corolla is the domestic corolla and the Corolla behind, is not very familiar. When the first Corolla appeared as a direct competitor to the Dartsan 1000, Toyota offered it a variety of body forms, including the two-door Coupe that adopted the name "Corolla Sprinter" when it was sold in the Japanese market.
"Levin" means lightning in Old English, and "Trueno" means thunder in Spanish. Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno had subtle differences in appearance, and Toyota threw them into motorsport, becoming a pioneer in Corolla's campaign.
The sporty two-door Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno, while replaced, also use a relatively old rear-drive platform. The Nobuaki Katayama, who is obsessed with the study of sports cars, is involved in the replacement of the rear-drive Corolla/Sprinter model, which also guarantees the unique handling characteristics of this model.
Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno only offer two-door Coupe and three-door hatchback models. In this generation, the distinction between Levin and Trueno is very simple, and only the headlights in the front part of the car need to be looked at: the Trueno uses flip lights (Takumi), and Levin continues the conventional design of the previous model. Aside from the difference in appearance, the rest of Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno are almost identical.
The AE86 is sold in both Japan and North America, but there are differences in configuration and name. The North American sales of AE86 returned to Corolla and were divided into Corolla DX, Corolla GTS and Corolla SR5 by configuration. There is no information about DX in the official advertising, we only know that it is a starter version in the AE86 series sold in North America.
The AE85 has the basic same shape as the AE86, and is also available in two versions: Corolla Levin and Sprinter Truneo. Fujiwara Takumi's good friend Takeuchi Shu wanted to buy an 86 in "Head Text D", but was deceived by a profiteer to buy an AE85 with the same appearance as the AE86, but the performance was far from the same. The clutch of this diaosi model is pull-wire type, the 86 is hydraulic, the rear axle of the 85 is drum brake, and the 86 is all four-wheel disc brake.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > legendary engine on the AE86: 4A-GE</h1>
The 4A-GE engine was born in 1983, in which Yamaha undertook the head development part of this engine. The 4A-GE engine, with its dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, is toyota's first mass-produced engine with both of these technologies.
The maximum power of the 4A-GE engine sold in Japan was initially set at 94 kW and the peak torque was 150 Nm; later it was revised to 88 kW, 142 Nm. The 4A-GE engine weighs only 123 kg and is 4 decibels lower in operating noise than the old model. Aircraft destined for the U.S. were required to comply with local environmental regulations, so air flow meters were added to limit the intake of air in exchange for lower emissions.
The Sprinter Trueno AE86 and Corolla Levin AE86 were first powered by 4A-GE engines in 1983, the last time the 4A-GE series engines appeared in a longitudinal fashion in rear-wheel drive models. Toyota then went on to introduce the 20-valve fourth- and fifth-generation 4A-GE models, but they have all adopted a horizontal layout, and the models they serve have never used a front-facing rear-drive layout.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the rise of drift movements has made AE86 a household name</h1>
The rise of drift sports has made the AE86 instantly popular around the world, and many people think that this fancy driving technique has only become popular in recent years, but it is not. Back in the mid-1960s in Japan, there was a group of people driving wild in the winding mountain roads, and their greatest pleasure was to set speed records from point A to point B again and again.
Drift running is a driving skill that rally drivers must master. In the ever-changing rave stages, drivers and navigators have only a very limited amount of time to take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the track before the official timer. So the ultimate goal of both the line running method and the drift running method is to make the car run faster, but they are adapted to a completely different track environment.
Young people still enjoy drifting on mountain roads, and drivers using drifting techniques have emerged in the Japanese touring car championships, which have become increasingly competitive. One of the most famous is called Kunimitsu Takahashi. He proved that drifting is a driving technique that is also useful in conventional motorsport, and is not just a more entertaining "flower rack" as seen now. The reward he received was to be named the "father of drift sports" by car fans.
Among the many car fans who worship Takahashi Kunimitsu, there is an ordinary young man named Keiichi Tsuchiya, and the fate is really wonderful. In 1977, Keiichi Tsuchiya joined the Fuji Rookie Race with Kunimitsu Takahashi's drifting concept and officially began his racing career, enjoying driving his AE86 to practice drifting skills in the narrow and winding mountain roads. He has attracted more and more attention with his extraordinary and gorgeous drift drift works, and gradually rose in the play car circle, becoming the "king of drift" that can be compared with the father of drift sports, Takahashi Kunimitsu. And the AE86 was introduced to the world.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what does the current Toyota 86 have to do with that AE86? </h1>
Toyota 86, when it comes to the name, everyone seems to think of AE86, but they are not directly related. The reason why it is called 86 is actually to continue a sports spirit, of course, more role is to rub the heat of their own AE86.
But it is not denied that the Toyota 86 is indeed a fun car, and there are many fans around the world, including drift enthusiasts.
And AE86, which has influenced a generation, we would like to pay it highest respect. Nowadays, "Head Text D" has been regarded as a classic by many fans. For 15 years, the call for the original team to return to filming the sequel has never stopped. Although Huanya had obvious hints in 2014, after so long, everyone understands that there will be no more sequels.
We have grown to the age when we can really understand "Head Text D", no longer young, and realize that the road of life is the same as the dream of a racing driver, we can only drive forward, there is no way to turn back. And that lost youth, like the distant "Head Text D II" and the summer tree that can't catch up, maybe only regret is its true appearance.
The Akina Mountains are sparsely populated, and there are often riders who are tall and low
The racing track is still there today, and the old driver is not seen
Tribute, AE86
Greetings, my youth
