The AE86 - it's that one car from Initial D that everybody knows. The budget 1980s sedan is already an icon that inspired new generations of Toyota and drifting fans. However, we've never seen it as a science-fiction car.
That changed when we stumbled upon this rendering by artist track_hype, which is nothing short of art. It's not only a cool concept, but it's got the coolest filters, accessories, textures, and more. In the time it took to make it, you could probably wrap a real AE86.
Now, everybody knows and is talking about cyberpunk because of that one video game that never seems to be ready. However, the style is obviously inspired by iconic Japanese creations. While these share the "anime" name with cartoons of today, they're hand-drawn masterpieces with complex and deep stories.
Everybody knows about Ghost in the Shell, but Akira is a little less famous and we believe will start blowing up pretty soon. The style already inspires trademark art posters, and a unique motorcycle livery from the anime is what was transposed over this Toyota. Yes, this is a car inspired by a bike... from the future.
That being said. The Akira AE86 stays grounded in reality. As the artist puts it, this is a "mixture of rally racing & time attack DNA." He could have used spherical wheels, like the Audi RSQ, and that would have made it futuristic, but it would have stopped being a Toyota.
The 86 model this project is based on would be the Levin, which has the normal headlights that don't pop up. We hear it's also really popular in Ireland for some reason. On the back, you've got a wing fit for a Group B rally car, while the widebody kit makes room for large wheels and racing suspension.
