First released as the world's introduction to the two-seater sports car in 1965, today's Toyota 86 was originally known as the Sports 800. This was followed by the Toyota 2000GT, a high-performance fastback that changed the way the world viewed Japanese cars. Produced between 1967 and 1970 using the front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout (FMR), the 2000GT had a 2.0-liter straight-six engine, five-speed manual transmission, and was rumored to reach 135 MPH. Only 351 2000GTs were produced.

From 1983 until 1987, Toyota manufactured the Corolla AE86. Available either as a two-door coupe or three-door hatchback, this compact sports car used the same FMR layout that would come to signify the basis of the vehicle as it evolved.
