Mattel Hot Wheels MATTEL HOT WHEELS Car Culture Japan Historics 4 1/64 '72 Toyota Corolla Levin TE27 Orange HRV69-9866 ● The origin of the current GR 86, the Levin, a high-performance model of the second-generation Corolla, and its sister car, the Sprinter Trueno, appeared in 1972. ● Its origins were in the 2-door model of the small mass-market car, the Corolla, equipped with a 1.6-liter DOHC engine from the higher-grade specialty car, the Celica GT. This was also in anticipation of the needs of motorsports (rally/circuit racing) that began to flourish in Japan in the 1970s. ● The distinguishing feature from the regular Corolla is the bolt-on overfenders on all four wheels. ● Although this car was a Japan-exclusive model, it is now counted as a globally renowned classic car as the ancestor of the AE86 Levin and its sister car, the Sprinter Trueno, which are popular worldwide. ● In Japan, it is often called the "Ninety-seven Levin" from its model number TE27. Hot Wheels reproduces this car with a new mold. ● It is customized with a rear spoiler and a chin spoiler. Note that the car name on the card is written in Japanese. The image is a sample image.
