Reproduction of the rare early 1983 model!
This series reproduces the early model GT Apex of the Sprinter Treno, which is sold at a high price in the used car market. The heart of the AE86, the 4A-GEU engine, is also assembled from parts.

Structure and parts designed as the actual car.
Retractable headlamps unique to the Torino AE86 model can be popped up and retracted. The indicator lights, rear combination lamps, and digital display meters unique to the early model are all meticulously designed to the specifications and structure of the actual car.

Equipped with light and sound gimmicks!

● Roar! HACHIROKU TRENO
Speakers built into the body reproduce the engine sound from startup, idling, running, and acceleration.
You can really feel the roar of the Hachi Roku Treno as it races along.

Retractable headlamps
The headlamps can be opened and closed by a built-in electric motor, and the light turns on at the same time as popping up when the switch on the remote control is turned ON, and the lamps can also be turned OFF while open.

● Brake lights and other lights
The rear lights of the Hachi Rokutreno are laid out in a combination panel. The stop and position lights can also be turned on and off freely by remote control.

Front and rear turn signals flash with a relay sound.
Both the front and rear blinkers blink by remote control operation, and the blinker relay sound is also played from the built-in speaker.

The details and gimmicks of the GT Apex are faithfully reproduced!

4A-GEU engine and engine compartment
Open the hood and you can enjoy the presence of the famous 4A-GEU engine, engine block with precisely designed parts, exhaust manifold, radiator, and other parts that make you feel like a mechanic.

High-grade GT Apex tires and wheels
185/70HR13 steel radial tires and 5J x 13 aluminum wheels, which are standard equipment for the GT Apex, are installed. The vehicle's settings are based on the stock specifications at the time of its release.

●The interior is full of Hachi Roku Treno details.
The two-tone wine red coloring was only available on the GT Apex. The electronic display meter that was standard equipment on the early model Treno has also been reproduced.

Chassis and body suspension mechanisms are also reproduced.
High-strength metal parts are used for the main body panels, chassis and suspension base. The coil spring suspension can also be reproduced.

Special remote control for light and sound control!

The exclusive remote control mimics the cockpit of the Hachi Roku Treno, and the steering wheel can be removed!
The retractable headlamps can be popped up and turned on, the indicator lights blink, and the powerful engine sound, which is played from the speakers built into the body according to the drive mode, can be controlled with the special remote control.
Remote control size: 60 mm (height) x 90 mm (width) x 30 mm (thickness)
(The remote control's steering wheel does not work with the model's gimmick.)
