In-game description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
Every generation of boy racers in every nation grows up with a favoured selection of cheap, quick performance cars. For example, in the UK hot small Fords have always found favour; in America it's Ford, Pontiac and Dodge muscle cars that are looked back on with the greatest nostalgia; while in Japan every young driving enthusiast knows that the Toyota Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno coupe and hatchback have long been the route to easily affordable speed. Way back in 1983, the Corolla/Sprinter followed fashion and switched to a front-wheel drive layout. All, that is, except for the AE86-series Levin and Trueno models, which gained a reputation as the last of the light, cheap rear-wheel drive cars to be offered. An in-line 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine delivered go, offering up a decent 130 BHP. More importantly, though, these models benefitted from a classic rear-wheel drive formula for driving pleasure, meaning that neither needed to deliver huge doses of power or feature a high-tech chassis to achieve serious driving fun. Later Levin/Trueno models have evolved in a different direction, now coming with front-wheel drive. Yet even these still offer up big grins, thanks to careful honing in other areas. For instance, in the top-spec BZ-G versions, the engine is still a 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit but benefits now from both 20 valves and variable-valve timing, boosting boost power to a hefty 165 BHP. Despite losing the adjustability of the earlier car's rear-driven layout, the later version benefits from a lighter body, stiffened suspension struts and a helical limited-slip differential to help put the increased output down to the road. Both closely related models' taut underpinnings have been welcomed as delivering sharp responses and an overall driving experience that, in its own way, is every bit as exciting as the earlier cars. Once again, however, sales of these later hotted-up Sprinters and Truenos are largely limited to the Japanese home market.
