COROLLA
9th Generation
Year: 2000 Model Code: AE111
This AE111 Sprinter Trueno belongs to the last generation Corollas to have Levin and Sprinter Trueno variants. Due to Japan's economic recession at that time, Toyota had to resort to reusing a lot of its predecessor's components for its newer models. Despite this, it still remains in the hearts of many car enthusiasts for being the last sport compact coupé of the series.

7th Generation LEVIN
Year: 1991 Model Code: AE101
Japan's economic boom in the late 80s brought about a bigger and more technologically-advanced generation of Corollas. Levin, or lightning in Old English, editions such as this unit had identical specifications to its Trueno, or thunder, counterpart. Their only difference was the Levin having fixed headlights instead of the Trueno's which popped out.

Shorter, three-door hatchback variants such as this AE82 were also released as a replacement of the similar-looking Starlet series.

This particular Sprinter edition is equipped with wheels from Tosco, Toyota’s early racing brand before it was renamed into TRD.

This first generation sedan variant features a two-speed Toyoglide A20, one of the brand’s first automatic transmissions.
