new rumored Hachiroku

Here is the new rumored Hachiroku that is being developed by Toyota. The powerplant is a 1.5cc and it will be lightweight below 1,000kg. The engine is codenamed 2NZ-FE good for 120hp, how true this will be remains to be seen. Judging from the looks alone, it does remind me of a Celica, but Hachirokus are supposed to be rear wheel drive.

It'll be good to see if Toyota can revive this little feared monster from Initial D. It's more than 20 yrs old and I believe it's about time they worked on bringing a new AE86 to the masses.

Kee Lin: Yes, I'd agree from the front it looks like the Civic as well. Or, Satria Neo lights. Hmmm, all the lights are similar.

Cheryl: No, this is not the Hybrid, nor is it a Civic. It's Toyota's replacement model for the car they used in Initial D, the AE86 a.k.a. Hachiroku.
