Hello, everyone. Thank you for watching this video. I really appreciate your comments. Hopefully my subtitle would be helpful for you to understand what Mr. Tsuchiya wants to tell you! I will continue to translate videos in the CAR PRIME's videos. Hope you enjoy!
It's nice seeing Mr. Tsuchiya still passionate about the 86. He's influenced so many generations of car enthusiasts from car games, anime, etc. This man is the GOAT
It's so touching to me that this absolute legend of a racing driver thinks about people who really want to have all the joy of motorsport but can't afford it. He comes off as a person who just wants everyone to have as much fun as he has racing and really is standing behind the culture.
He comes out with the force needed for the generations of enthusiasts with such strong tail wind and with a killer combo blind attack paired with a gutter run
reminds me of when they saw the JUN prelude H22c. Low-er than standard RPM vtec profile, low end torque too, and the same sentiment to the pre owned value and aspects towards young or low wage earners as having Good vtec power over a b16/b18 vtec honda.
What really saddens me is that young people would probably get these kindof cars but without MT transmission in 2030, he said this in the video. I learned to drive with MT and drive every day with MT transmission, shame production cars in 2030s would probably not be equipped with MT.
@@ramal5708 Truly. I know MT’s or manual transmissions can be overly hyped up as fun and better than AT’s, but I genuinely believe they are. Once I got a little taste of the car scene, I was so desperate for my next car to be equipped with a MT. Grateful to say that my next car was indeed one with a MT, and it’s still my current daily. I never get bored driving it. Learning how to rev-match and heel-toe, ugh the driving experience is unparalleled. A shame really that the future for MT’s is a sad reality.
Watching Keiichi talk about wanting companies to keep younger enthusiasts in mind really made me emotional, I’m 30 years old this year and I’ve been watching and learning from this man since I was about 13 years old. His wisdom and passion for motorsport is inspiring, but watching him grow older feels the same way as watching a family member you care for greatly grow old to me. This man is a treasure to the racing world and we’re lucky to have him.
When the part of him talking about the 86 made my heart sour tbh.. The background music and the way he talks just touched me . Then I realized he looks old and only then i realized he's 65 this year.. I grew up watching his old dvds and then it hit me , i'm getting old too . Maan it's hurts knowing that he's probably not going be able to keep driving like that soon . And soon , when he's gone , the 86 will start to disappear as well. True legend.
Thank you for posting this! As an European I highly appreciate the Japanese approach to cars. Very modern and a little bit old school at the same time. Japanese sport cars are “pure” and simple. Everything is about lightness, responsiveness and pleasure. We lost that in Europe as cars are getting heavy and complicated. Thank you Japan and thank you Toyota for producing the GR86!
We had 3 series compact which is like Europian 86 but sadly its finished and replaced with 1 series and for fun one you need to pay too much... Also all sportish cars are too expensice for average people... And co2 is making expensice to import any used sportish car. For example if i want import e46 330 i or 330d from Germany to Croatia i need to pay 6k € for co2 alone and car price is 2k €. With average salary of 700€ per month it is hard to acumulate 7k€ for 90s rwd shitbox.... Let alone new car
@@absitinvidia3948 Agreed man, I sadly/luckily got a 330ci, but it's US version with restrictive as hell cats and a tune that makes you die inside. Oh, and I have to swap the transmission (it's an auto currently).
@@ThatOneCatNyx 330ci is fun car, just watch your rear end subframe its known to have troubles. With few cheap mods you can have realy fun weekend car. If i had one i would just invest in subframe lsd and suspension, if you realy want to have track car then gut it. Its great car and it dont need too much power to have fun. I am thinking about buying e46 compact and maby in futureengime swap 3.0 disel or m54b30, and lsd... And just use it every few weeks for trashing on muoutain roads. But its lot of money. 200-250 hp is sweet spot for not rich people to have fun few times per month... Everithing above needs too much money... Oh with manual that car is lot of more fun...
Too bad you can't buy them. There was next to no volume of cars available to buy. I think Tsuchiya and Tada meant well, but Toyota management used them to make a marketing flick since making these cars is not really profitable. That's why almost none were made. Most countries got less than 20 units to buy or none. It's a joke as bad as 80s quality of General Motors.
Theres no better person to review handling than the DK himself. Drivers car reviewed the way it is meant to be and not wasting time on who's faster in a straight or whos got more cupholders when its meant to be spilled on (yes you will)
I always find it amazing. You watch UK or US car shows and they all like it drives amazing the power is great or its amazing, but just slow.. You watch Tsuchiya and he gives u completely different view on the car I love it personally
Now, try to buy this car. Even if you could easily afford it when it was released, it was impossible to buy it, because Toyota hardly made any. It wasn't really a car for anyone. It was a marketing flick, made to make people think warm of Toyota before internal combustion cars are retired and sports cars are no more. They probably anticipated they can't make any money with this car, so they made just a few units to heat up the fame and the fact that nobody could buy it is lost in verses.
and sadly it was the case given kids these days love to shit mouthing the GR supra "oOOH it de ZuPr4" whilst drooling over whatever the latest multi million hypercars from the Bugatti's, Koenigseggs, and the like that'll eventually forgotten as the said companies announced the sucessors/limited versions of those said cars
@@adlibbed2138 XD yet here i am trying to get an aw11, with my eyes set on saving up for one of these GR86. BC im willing to admit the 400z is just too expensive+mods. With one day getting a salvaged GR86 far down the road for experimental build fun.
@@wingmantx I wish people would still be as interested in cars as they were before..now we can only hope to stay united and not discriminate one another and not be toxic
@@adlibbed2138 I am a huge JDM car nerd, i daily a 98 WRX, and my beater is a 1985 GT-S Corolla, but there’s a car community for everyone. Some people like cars built for racing from the factory, rather than a Small little JDM Car. People who can afford hyper/super cars should have the right to buy them imo. I’ll still always love JDM but, I’ll never judge another car community. (Except for squatted trucks and ricers lol)
This may very well be the last of it's kind before automotive culture is left for dead. Thank you Subaru and Toyota for providing the potentially last fan service in the combustion engine / manual transmission era.
I like how he is honest about tuning the wrong way. That's why I like it when the car is tuned in Japan because they look at everything not just power. In the states they are just power hungry even if it's damaging the engine. I like the way he think.
i mean look at those cartubers....some guy did a celica gt with a beams swap and a bunch of out of the catalogue parts...like 60k build...or that other car tuber that k swapped their FD.....and bought it already with a k swap for 14000 and spent 60K+ too in parts/labor. Imagine being DIY and investing into something like that when they all aluminum LS engines for 400+HP out the door with a brand new trans for less. Most hard parkers couldnt even drive an aggressive cam or a built rotary as it is. And hes right about tuning the right way if i had the money to k swap a rolling chassis 240z i would vs trying to run an rb26 or an os giken build. Imagine replacing a clutch or rear end/dif on an os giken z and how long that process would take to get the parts and install etc. I mean there forsure is an aspect of efficacy. Just like ppl 3sge swapping mr2's. Plus as the years had passed theyre come more modern and expensive stand alone sytems that just make matters worse in that tuning/cost aspect....even in MERICA with carbed built strokers...switching to EFI or holley throttle body entails a lot to max out a platform/head/fuel utilized. Even worse adapting "classic" chassis to use that power. Where most ppl will ideally swap newer z parts like steering/brakes etc from z32 into their z31 or etc s chassis parts into their z31....or various other examples in japan. Plus america has had its history at the dragstrip as a way of "benchmarking" performance outside of actual track racing. I mean the GT-R and Vette recently are responsible for so many new(expen$$ive) tire blends/compounds in the last 15 year window....look at how much spoon charges for 200+ HP NA "reliable" like can be ran for high endurance/abuse forged internals etc.....people think its all fun and games. Plus it should be subjective as it is to the drivers style/ability/capability and typically tire and brake potential if cornering.
This is undeniable proof of the link between the AE86 and the FT86 for all those who doubt it. This car is the successor to the legendary hachi roku. This car changed my life, domo arigato for your influence in making this car possible, Keiichi Tsuchiya-san, Tetsuya Tada-san, and Akio Toyoda-san!!
I'm glad it changed your life but you wanna know what car changed my whole outlook on performance cars? Hyundai Veloster, truly a miracle in todays market same with the Camaro.
Man I’m glad I got to see this in my time. Mr Tsuchiya doing a thorough review and test for the gr86. It feels so refreshing and gratifying that he is the one who tested it. And even better to know he approved of the car in general. I really do want to own one some day. I’m glad they are going to produce them in the future as well. Makes me have great hope that I can still be a car enthusiast.
If you are talking about downvotes, then its just 83+ subaru fans who are annoyed by the video featuring a subaru built car with the toyota brand plastered all over the video with not a single mention of the combined efforts to make such an amazing car. I didnt quite watch the entire video because it felt like a toyota commercial instead of a car enthusiasts video.
I can see now why the new 86 isn't a crazy expensive car like the Lexus LFA. They could make a monster car and slap the 86 name on it and people would love it. But DK himself wanted young people in this generation to be able to afford a fun and fast sports car that doesn't break the bank. He understands that young people want to own nice and fun cars but obviously most of them can't afford to spend a lot of money to have such cars. Which is why FT86 was born. He knows that most would go to the used market because it's cheaper and modify it to their liking but eventually spending even more than they should have just to be at an acceptable level. He spent 13 million yen (~115 000 USD) just on his AE86. Imagine that.
If you're skilled enough and could maintain control of a sliding car then you could do it as well, he's using power slide, braking or weigh shifting drift techniques. The easiest to make a car slide is of course with handbrake but you're a intermediate or expert drifter if you could make a car slide without EBrakes. Sadly there won't be any old fashioned EBrake that could be use for drifting anymore in the future as most manufacturers starting to equip cars with electric EBrakes smh.
If this Man ain’t testing an doing the things he’s does. I wouldn’t buy a car if this man hasn’t tested them an put them to the Fr test to be called on any brand from JDM. He’s is the goat 🐐
I actually teared up when Tsuchiya san was talking about 86's and the history of them. To think one day the legendary 86 will cease to exist due to the movement of electric cars, as a petrol head it really pains me. What makes me even more sad is that I recently purchased a brand new AMG as I wanted something practical and fun so it would be difficult for me to get the GR86 which I am insanely in love with and the fact that apparently it will only be sold for 2 years is heart breaking as I think it might be hard to even get hold of a used one in the future.
I feel you. I have the frs and the gr86 10AE now. I don’t know if I’ll ever sell them. The GR is definitely just a polished version of the frs. Everything about it feels so dialed, I’m scared to replace parts and tuning since Toyota did their due diligence with dialing this car in.
I don't see why electric cars should mean the 86 is going to die? They can just use an electric motor instead of a 2.4L boxer engine, the 86 line was never good for the engines anyways
Very much appreciate the translation. Fantastic driving impressions and insight on the driving dynamics of the GR86. We are lucky to get this 2nd generation and I will buy one!
That sinking feeling when he said MT's will be gone in 2030. I'm all for the environment but I'm exceedingly sad at the strict timeline to go electric. I can't afford a brand new car by then and it's depressing to think I'll never drive a new car that I will enjoy. Hearing him talk about driving the car as it's intended without mods was touching too, allowing a lower resale value but unfortunately people mod these cars to no end.
Unless there’s some Japanese law I don’t know about I think the comment about manual transmissions being gone by 2030 was more about the trend of cars and buyers. Vast majority of cars are either automatic or paddle shift at best. Even super cars are almost exclusively paddle. I think it’s more a case of convenience and ease of use over anything else. Though in the case of paddle shifting they do shift much faster than stick. I hope manuals don’t disappear by 2030 though.
dont be sad to never be able to enjoy a new car rather get a enjoyable youngtimer and do a restomod with it and it will be like new again and you will enjoy it so much more then any car you just buy out a showroom
Man, i drove an electric in a reaching game and all i can say is, i can really see the potential for an electric car with maybe 2 gears and a clutch for the sake of control not to shift necessarily, but i would really like an electric car with a manual, they're basically rotary engines but with 0 emissions in that way lol.
Man i was born and raised on Okinawa, and went back as an adult, left in 2017... Its so important to have videos like this, young people need to understand that you dont need to have a 1000hp car to truly enjoy driving, and its sad what has happened with the used car market, especially in Japan... On one hand im happy that the entire world is finally recognizing Japanese sports cars for how great they were, and still are.. But i am sad that so many people will never get to experience it. With all the cars that ended up being destroyed or left to rust in junk yards.... plus Automakers completely turning away from making engaging cars while focusing more on electric cars with no feel or passion behind the wheel, im thankful for cars like the 86 and the new fairlady. Keep making videos! Pass on the tradition to the next generation and here is to hoping my kids and others will be able to enjoy cars like we did!
I have not payed much attention to the gr86. But after watching this video, my interest renewed again. The way he reviewed the car talking about the details toyota put to enhance the driving experience and how the handling was improved from the ft86.
No doubt, he is the best car racing communicator to date. No fancy yet confusing technical terms like hp, Nm , down force etc..Well thought out, easy to understand , sensible ,story telling like and passionate way to convey messages. Well done ,sir!
Having owned a 2013 gt86, and now a 2015 brz, it makes me happy seeing this line being kept alive, i hope that even if we do go electric, they find a way to make it manual
I feel mr. Tsuchiya said... Im so touch and feel emotional. Because i have honda city a 97' im restoring it and my friend borrowed and he wreck my car(sad) And now im working hard to go back in restoring used car. God Bless you mr. Tsuchiya. 😍 I will watch your all your video for now while waiting for my new project car. Ive learn so much in your channel because tuning is my passion.
I'm 15 about to turn 16 soon I've never really had interest in cars until recently I started watching Mr tsuchiya videos,hot version, car prime, and etc I didn't know you could tune cars to crazy levels not in terms of their power tuning but mechanical tuning I didn't know much about cars I didn't know cars have so much potential if you really look into it Mr tsuchiya has inspired me to learn about cars and have fun with them all I've been doing is racing in asseto corsa but I never really knew what really makes a car good or bad I didn't knew such small difference in specs could amount to much better performance I still have so much to learn about cars and I don't think I'll get bored anytime soon
@@raviolitrail im trying to go pro i dont know what category im going to choose yet but ill be practicing in simulators until i get better so in the future itll be much easier for me to debut and stuff
Hello from France ! I enjoyed to listen to the opinion of Keiichi ! It is important for me ! I am a fan of GR 86. Thank you very much to Yusuke Sasaki for the english subtitles ! ❤
It's always a treat to see Keiichi Tsuchiya, his love for driving and fun-loving spirit is inspiring and contagious lol. I used to work for Toyota as a mechanic and was shocked to disbelief when the FT86 was announced. Thank you Tada-san! I never dreamed after the Prius Toyota would ever dare make a car again like the AE86 or my personal favorite its big brother MA67 aka the MkII Celica Supra from the same era. The old 'underpowered' MA had a similar philosophy pre turbo to the 86. A responsive chassis with enough power and gearbox to have fun with room to grow. It would be interesting to see if they could do a modern MR2 and Celica. Anyone can spend enough R&D money to make a safe and reliable car to go to work or the grocery store for a fair price. What made Toyota special and successful when I was a kid was they made something for everyone's needs, especially us gearheads thanks to TRD. Oh what a feeling indeed. Toyota is in a position where they can make cleaner cars for the masses but do not have to totally abandon the average car enthusiast or pro racing. The other manufacturers could too, but they often make their sports cars too expensive for most people to attain even used.
*_truly DK-san is an ICON for generations. the wisdom and his contribution to the motorsport world is super amazing amongst the elite league, Sugoi-subarashii!_*
Great show, thanks! I really wanted to see a second camera of him drifting from the outside. Like you guys did in the DK Keiichi Tsuchiya teaches drifting video. I love the content, thanks again.
Yeah I think he was following instructions with a walkie talkie from some cameramen in the modified Porsche Panamera Turbo ahead, to get those intro shots. It would be nice to see an onboard footage too.
"If we dont buy this car, it means we betray Toyota" what a quote. This man (and a lot of GR86 videos and ad) has made me seriously consider GT86. Obviously I cannot afford GR86 rn. GT86 however looks like a great platform for me. I'm about to go and check one out in the next few days, see whether it is as great as people say. I want something different in life. If Keiichi says that the car is great, than I have pretty high expectations
I miss my dads Subaru BRZ. Sure out of the box they lacked more horsepower and torque but they really made up for it in the driving experience and going through twisty mountain roads. Unforgettable memories and experience. Thank you Toyota
Although I don't have cars at all, the moment Tsuchiya talks about AE86 being made in a time where the trend went to FF, against the trend, brought tears to my eyes. I've always been unpopular and do things that do not go along the trend.... and I know how much risk, how hard it is totally in my heart. These people are heroes to me, regardless of sales volume, aiming for the best performance.
Oh yeah, this is the first time I found a Japanese channel in English. Very helpful to understand the Japanese perspective on a car, really objective in judging. I hope this channel grows fast. 仕事への情熱.
What a beautiful video! As a young 20s person with an original FT86 I live hearing him really with such passion and respect for the brand. This was amazing
i clearly see the love , keiichi has towards the hachiroku . since 15 years old i been watching him , im 24 yrs old today . i dream the day i can afford my first car.
I'm going to buy it brand new and take the depreciation hit. If I buy it used, it won't be enough to support these manufacturers to keep producing exciting sportscars like these in the future.
I've been thinking about buying an ae86 because there is very good condition, stock ae86's where I live, and most of them are very cheap because they are automatic. I think I am going to buy and manual swap one in the near future...
I have been always Honda guy. I drove S2k and wait for the next gen S2k. I didnt give up the hope though Honda doesnt have any plan. But today, his fascination to 86 totally sold me. I'm going to Toyota dealer tomorrow.
This is a monumental moment for the 86; a beautiful swan song like no other. Going against all the odds and providing the enthusiast with what they have been begging for years. Thank you Toyota and DK for being this car to existence and exposing its majestic presence to car culture!
Tsuchiya san thanks for this beautiful video about the history of the AE86 and its GT86 heir. In Italy it is called Toyota gt86. I got really excited. I love this car, especially since I saw the initial D anime. I have had a Toyota celica in the past, fantastic car. the gr86 has many innovative solutions in general, from the engine, to the chassis and suspension. seeing it close to your gt86, personally I would choose your gt86. I liked this car right away, as soon as it arrived on the Italian market. personally I find it with a stronger personality than the gr86, this is my opinion. unfortunately it is no longer sold in Italy and, as far as I know, the gr86 will not be imported. luckily there are used gt86s for sale, and my plan will be to buy one. even if I'm not that young anymore, I always have the desire to have fun driving! with a few tuning tricks, i'm sure the gt86 will make people like me enjoy more. domo arigatou gozaimasu !!!! Thanks for the subtitles
@@jameshtyree glade to hear I wasn’t a fan of the frs but and was looking for a m4cs or Supra but the guy at the dealer ship said he had some Gr86 coming in welp I went down the rabbit hole, nothing but good things and the price is awesome was getting a weekend car but this looks like the weekend and daily as I wouldn’t care about how many miles vs a more expensive vehicle
Loved the video and your passion in the 86. I bought a used automatic GT86 as a college student and never thought I would end up loving it and it’s experience so much. Now I will be buying a new GR86 in a manual and I can’t wait to own and tune it myself. Thank you for your enthusiasm!
I love DK man what a legend, I’ve been trying to decide on what sports car I should get as my first and also first manual transmission and now I’m thinking GR86 is the way to go
20:40 immediate cut as Keiichi found himself struggling with the idiotic turn signal stalk that has no neutral position. Seriously, who's idea was that?
You can blame BMW for this. Their cars all work this way and since the Supra is made by them, I think Toyota brought it to the 86 to bring it inline with the Supra. Also, it isn't bad once you get used to it. I struggled with it at first as well.
I bought one. Got a 2023 GR86 in track BRed. Still have my 2013 scion fr-s as well that is tastefully tuned with quality parts. 129k miles and making 181whp and 149 wtq and runs like a top. I absolutely adore thee cars. Owned many Toyotas and Subarus over the years. I've owned 6 AW11 MR2s , and 3 WRXs the last 20 years. Along with being privileged with owning many other JDM cars from the 90s and early 00s.
I got gt86 4 years ago as a present to myself 4 years ago and didnt regret that. Absolute joy of driving that car and i can only imagine how fun that GR86 is as better and improved gt86. Toyota we need more cars like this please

It was a marketing flick, made to make people think warm of Toyota before internal combustion cars are retired and sports cars are no more. They probably anticipated they can't make any money with this car, so they made just a few units to heat up the fame and the fact that nobody could buy it is lost in verses.
Yea and the French just ruin everything
" If we don't buy this car, it means we betray Toyota"
Wow.
I love hondas but man, just seeing DK himself driving make me want to trade for this awesome toyota gr86
and sadly it was the case given kids these days love to shit mouthing the GR supra "oOOH it de ZuPr4" whilst drooling over whatever the latest multi million hypercars from the Bugatti's, Koenigseggs, and the like that'll eventually forgotten as the said companies announced the sucessors/limited versions of those said cars
@@adlibbed2138 XD yet here i am trying to get an aw11, with my eyes set on saving up for one of these GR86. BC im willing to admit the 400z is just too expensive+mods. With one day getting a salvaged GR86 far down the road for experimental build fun.
@@wingmantx I wish people would still be as interested in cars as they were before..now we can only hope to stay united and not discriminate one another and not be toxic
@@adlibbed2138 I am a huge JDM car nerd, i daily a 98 WRX, and my beater is a 1985 GT-S Corolla, but there’s a car community for everyone. Some people like cars built for racing from the factory, rather than a Small little JDM Car. People who can afford hyper/super cars should have the right to buy them imo. I’ll still always love JDM but, I’ll never judge another car community. (Except for squatted trucks and ricers lol)
This is gold. Thank you for translating. ありがとうございました
This is the only person whose opinion on this car matters to me.
Absolutely!
The passion he has for this 86 is genuine .. no wonder why people respect him, and enjoy what he does!! Thankyou sir!!
This may very well be the last of it's kind before automotive culture is left for dead.
Thank you Subaru and Toyota for providing the potentially last fan service in the combustion engine / manual transmission era.
I like how he is honest about tuning the wrong way. That's why I like it when the car is tuned in Japan because they look at everything not just power. In the states they are just power hungry even if it's damaging the engine. I like the way he think.
i mean look at those cartubers....some guy did a celica gt with a beams swap and a bunch of out of the catalogue parts...like 60k build...or that other car tuber that k swapped their FD.....and bought it already with a k swap for 14000 and spent 60K+ too in parts/labor. Imagine being DIY and investing into something like that when they all aluminum LS engines for 400+HP out the door with a brand new trans for less. Most hard parkers couldnt even drive an aggressive cam or a built rotary as it is. And hes right about tuning the right way if i had the money to k swap a rolling chassis 240z i would vs trying to run an rb26 or an os giken build. Imagine replacing a clutch or rear end/dif on an os giken z and how long that process would take to get the parts and install etc. I mean there forsure is an aspect of efficacy. Just like ppl 3sge swapping mr2's. Plus as the years had passed theyre come more modern and expensive stand alone sytems that just make matters worse in that tuning/cost aspect....even in MERICA with carbed built strokers...switching to EFI or holley throttle body entails a lot to max out a platform/head/fuel utilized. Even worse adapting "classic" chassis to use that power. Where most ppl will ideally swap newer z parts like steering/brakes etc from z32 into their z31 or etc s chassis parts into their z31....or various other examples in japan. Plus america has had its history at the dragstrip as a way of "benchmarking" performance outside of actual track racing. I mean the GT-R and Vette recently are responsible for so many new(expen$$ive) tire blends/compounds in the last 15 year window....look at how much spoon charges for 200+ HP NA "reliable" like can be ran for high endurance/abuse forged internals etc.....people think its all fun and games. Plus it should be subjective as it is to the drivers style/ability/capability and typically tire and brake potential if cornering.
This is undeniable proof of the link between the AE86 and the FT86 for all those who doubt it. This car is the successor to the legendary hachi roku. This car changed my life, domo arigato for your influence in making this car possible, Keiichi Tsuchiya-san, Tetsuya Tada-san, and Akio Toyoda-san!!
I'm glad it changed your life but you wanna know what car changed my whole outlook on performance cars? Hyundai Veloster, truly a miracle in todays market same with the Camaro.

Man I’m glad I got to see this in my time. Mr Tsuchiya doing a thorough review and test for the gr86. It feels so refreshing and gratifying that he is the one who tested it. And even better to know he approved of the car in general. I really do want to own one some day. I’m glad they are going to produce them in the future as well. Makes me have great hope that I can still be a car enthusiast.
We are glad you enjoyed the video. We'll keep on making English subbed videos.
I too want to own one some day. Still hoping.
83+ people don't appreciate this man and don't realize what hes given us. This man is a Legend.
If you are talking about downvotes, then its just 83+ subaru fans who are annoyed by the video featuring a subaru built car with the toyota brand plastered all over the video with not a single mention of the combined efforts to make such an amazing car. I didnt quite watch the entire video because it felt like a toyota commercial instead of a car enthusiasts video.
@deriac8365 Don't think it's just only Subaru fans lol
been waiting for this, the commentary by the legendary himself. does this car carry on the 86 legacy
It does, but also soo much more.
I can see now why the new 86 isn't a crazy expensive car like the Lexus LFA. They could make a monster car and slap the 86 name on it and people would love it. But DK himself wanted young people in this generation to be able to afford a fun and fast sports car that doesn't break the bank. He understands that young people want to own nice and fun cars but obviously most of them can't afford to spend a lot of money to have such cars. Which is why FT86 was born. He knows that most would go to the used market because it's cheaper and modify it to their liking but eventually spending even more than they should have just to be at an acceptable level. He spent 13 million yen (~115 000 USD) just on his AE86. Imagine that.
Tsuchiya: the rear tyres do not slip so much.
Also Tsuchiya > proceeds to put the car into a drift immediately after stating the above.
11/10.
If you're skilled enough and could maintain control of a sliding car then you could do it as well, he's using power slide, braking or weigh shifting drift techniques.
The easiest to make a car slide is of course with handbrake but you're a intermediate or expert drifter if you could make a car slide without EBrakes.
Sadly there won't be any old fashioned EBrake that could be use for drifting anymore in the future as most manufacturers starting to equip cars with electric EBrakes smh.
If this Man ain’t testing an doing the things he’s does. I wouldn’t buy a car if this man hasn’t tested them an put them to the Fr test to be called on any brand from JDM. He’s is the goat 🐐
I actually teared up when Tsuchiya san was talking about 86's and the history of them. To think one day the legendary 86 will cease to exist due to the movement of electric cars, as a petrol head it really pains me. What makes me even more sad is that I recently purchased a brand new AMG as I wanted something practical and fun so it would be difficult for me to get the GR86 which I am insanely in love with and the fact that apparently it will only be sold for 2 years is heart breaking as I think it might be hard to even get hold of a used one in the future.
I feel you. I have the frs and the gr86 10AE now. I don’t know if I’ll ever sell them. The GR is definitely just a polished version of the frs. Everything about it feels so dialed, I’m scared to replace parts and tuning since Toyota did their due diligence with dialing this car in.
I don't see why electric cars should mean the 86 is going to die? They can just use an electric motor instead of a 2.4L boxer engine, the 86 line was never good for the engines anyways
Very much appreciate the translation. Fantastic driving impressions and insight on the driving dynamics of the GR86. We are lucky to get this 2nd generation and I will buy one!
His love for the 86 clearly shines through. I love this man so much.
Tsuchiya san has a love for 86's that's so strong it makes a Nissan guy want to buy one. Thank you so much DK for the videos.
That sinking feeling when he said MT's will be gone in 2030. I'm all for the environment but I'm exceedingly sad at the strict timeline to go electric. I can't afford a brand new car by then and it's depressing to think I'll never drive a new car that I will enjoy. Hearing him talk about driving the car as it's intended without mods was touching too, allowing a lower resale value but unfortunately people mod these cars to no end.
Unless there’s some Japanese law I don’t know about I think the comment about manual transmissions being gone by 2030 was more about the trend of cars and buyers. Vast majority of cars are either automatic or paddle shift at best. Even super cars are almost exclusively paddle. I think it’s more a case of convenience and ease of use over anything else. Though in the case of paddle shifting they do shift much faster than stick.
I hope manuals don’t disappear by 2030 though.
dont be sad to never be able to enjoy a new car rather get a enjoyable youngtimer and do a restomod with it and it will be like new again and you will enjoy it so much more then any car you just buy out a showroom
Man, i drove an electric in a reaching game and all i can say is, i can really see the potential for an electric car with maybe 2 gears and a clutch for the sake of control not to shift necessarily, but i would really like an electric car with a manual, they're basically rotary engines but with 0 emissions in that way lol.
Rip engine powered cars now were only getting some same looking oversized rc car
Buy a second hand MT beast!!!
Man i was born and raised on Okinawa, and went back as an adult, left in 2017... Its so important to have videos like this, young people need to understand that you dont need to have a 1000hp car to truly enjoy driving, and its sad what has happened with the used car market, especially in Japan... On one hand im happy that the entire world is finally recognizing Japanese sports cars for how great they were, and still are.. But i am sad that so many people will never get to experience it. With all the cars that ended up being destroyed or left to rust in junk yards.... plus Automakers completely turning away from making engaging cars while focusing more on electric cars with no feel or passion behind the wheel, im thankful for cars like the 86 and the new fairlady. Keep making videos! Pass on the tradition to the next generation and here is to hoping my kids and others will be able to enjoy cars like we did!
also i almost cried... i was already upset today that Nissan announced they are no longer developing engines
I have not payed much attention to the gr86. But after watching this video, my interest renewed again. The way he reviewed the car talking about the details toyota put to enhance the driving experience and how the handling was improved from the ft86.
Ngl this vid is better than all reviews from top gear , carwow, throttle house etc etc
Appreciate the English subs! Thank you so much for putting this together. I'm hyped for the new GR86
No doubt, he is the best car racing communicator to date. No fancy yet confusing technical terms like hp, Nm , down force etc..Well thought out, easy to understand , sensible ,story telling like and passionate way to convey messages. Well done ,sir!
Having owned a 2013 gt86, and now a 2015 brz, it makes me happy seeing this line being kept alive, i hope that even if we do go electric, they find a way to make it manual
I feel mr. Tsuchiya said... Im so touch and feel emotional. Because i have honda city a 97' im restoring it and my friend borrowed and he wreck my car(sad) And now im working hard to go back in restoring used car. God Bless you mr. Tsuchiya. 😍 I will watch your all your video for now while waiting for my new project car. Ive learn so much in your channel because tuning is my passion.
Great education on the 86 history, and GR86 handling, Thanks Keiichi Tsuchiya and Yusuke Sasaki from Europe.
I'm 15 about to turn 16 soon I've never really had interest in cars until recently I started watching Mr tsuchiya videos,hot version, car prime, and etc I didn't know you could tune cars to crazy levels not in terms of their power tuning but mechanical tuning I didn't know much about cars I didn't know cars have so much potential if you really look into it Mr tsuchiya has inspired me to learn about cars and have fun with them all I've been doing is racing in asseto corsa but I never really knew what really makes a car good or bad I didn't knew such small difference in specs could amount to much better performance I still have so much to learn about cars and I don't think I'll get bored anytime soon

Hello from France !
I enjoyed to listen to the opinion of Keiichi ! It is important for me ! I am a fan of GR 86.
Thank you very much to Yusuke Sasaki for the english subtitles !
❤
Toi aussi tu attends avec impatience la GR ?
Such a good video. Makes me enjoy my FR-S even more
Thank you!
That was absolutely incredible. The GR86 very well might be my next car.
this was so much better than any of the US reviewers.
You might want to watch Jason Cammisa's video on Hagerty. He has a very well produced (and glowing) review of the car.
It's always a treat to see Keiichi Tsuchiya, his love for driving and fun-loving spirit is inspiring and contagious lol. I used to work for Toyota as a mechanic and was shocked to disbelief when the FT86 was announced. Thank you Tada-san! I never dreamed after the Prius Toyota would ever dare make a car again like the AE86 or my personal favorite its big brother MA67 aka the MkII Celica Supra from the same era. The old 'underpowered' MA had a similar philosophy pre turbo to the 86. A responsive chassis with enough power and gearbox to have fun with room to grow. It would be interesting to see if they could do a modern MR2 and Celica.
Anyone can spend enough R&D money to make a safe and reliable car to go to work or the grocery store for a fair price. What made Toyota special and successful when I was a kid was they made something for everyone's needs, especially us gearheads thanks to TRD. Oh what a feeling indeed. Toyota is in a position where they can make cleaner cars for the masses but do not have to totally abandon the average car enthusiast or pro racing. The other manufacturers could too, but they often make their sports cars too expensive for most people to attain even used.
*_truly DK-san is an ICON for generations. the wisdom and his contribution to the motorsport world is super amazing amongst the elite league, Sugoi-subarashii!_*
Your subtitles were very helpful, thank you for releasing a video with DK himself sharing his perspective on the GR86. Thank you! (Subscribed too) 🙂
Thx for subscribing!
Great show, thanks! I really wanted to see a second camera of him drifting from the outside. Like you guys did in the DK Keiichi Tsuchiya teaches drifting video. I love the content, thanks again.
Yeah I think he was following instructions with a walkie talkie from some cameramen in the modified Porsche Panamera Turbo ahead, to get those intro shots. It would be nice to see an onboard footage too.
For those wondering, FR = Front engine, Rear wheel drive FF = Front engine, Front wheel drive
Just realized there is a Car Prime English Channel, so happy for this!
Thank you so much! Please watch the other videos, and share them to your friends!
"If we dont buy this car, it means we betray Toyota" what a quote.
This man (and a lot of GR86 videos and ad) has made me seriously consider GT86. Obviously I cannot afford GR86 rn. GT86 however looks like a great platform for me. I'm about to go and check one out in the next few days, see whether it is as great as people say. I want something different in life. If Keiichi says that the car is great, than I have pretty high expectations
I miss my dads Subaru BRZ. Sure out of the box they lacked more horsepower and torque but they really made up for it in the driving experience and going through twisty mountain roads. Unforgettable memories and experience. Thank you Toyota
Thank you and Tsuchiya-san for creating this content!
I clicked on this video wanting to see review of GR86, but in halfway i become extremely motivated, to buy my self a manual fast car, Great Review.
Great to give the history of these cars. They are important parts of our culture.
This is like watching your REAL LIFE ANIME HERO talk directly to you! I love it. I got teary eyed watching this. #InitialD ❤️
Wow, the legend himself put on a walk around presentation for the GR86 that makes me blush and I'm a car salesperson. This video is incredible.

I love seeing a passion that never dies out, thank you for the awesome video Tsuchiya.
Thanks for the English subtitles!
Thanks for the translation
Although I don't have cars at all, the moment Tsuchiya talks about AE86 being made in a time where the trend went to FF, against the trend, brought tears to my eyes. I've always been unpopular and do things that do not go along the trend.... and I know how much risk, how hard it is totally in my heart. These people are heroes to me, regardless of sales volume, aiming for the best performance.
Oh yeah, this is the first time I found a Japanese channel in English. Very helpful to understand the Japanese perspective on a car, really objective in judging. I hope this channel grows fast. 仕事への情熱.
What a beautiful video! As a young 20s person with an original FT86 I live hearing him really with such passion and respect for the brand. This was amazing
I love the story about the ae86. Initial D, Keiichi Tsuchiya Thank you for bringing me into the AE86 (Hachi Roku) . This is My dream car to own...
This really touched my heart. Lucky enough to own an AE86 myself. Loved it ever since.
I love the way they balance tune everything while also improving their skills and not just LS swap everything.
I was not expecting to be emotionally moved by a car video. Wow. I always liked Tsuchiya but this has me appreciating him in a whole new light.
Amazing 🤩 I have so much respect for this man he has taught me so much and yet he continues to surprise us I driving the next legendary Toyota 86
i clearly see the love , keiichi has towards the hachiroku . since 15 years old i been watching him , im 24 yrs old today . i dream the day i can afford my first car.
Happy to see the Drift King drive the GR86, I might try to buy one after they've been out for a while
I'm going to buy it brand new and take the depreciation hit. If I buy it used, it won't be enough to support these manufacturers to keep producing exciting sportscars like these in the future.
The best and complete review of the GR86 in the net . Thank you
I've been thinking about buying an ae86 because there is very good condition, stock ae86's where I live, and most of them are very cheap because they are automatic. I think I am going to buy and manual swap one in the near future...
DK... Thank you for all the advice and suggestions. All your words mean a lot to us
the compassion, the admiration, the drift king
The fact that his reaction driving it is the same as mine makes me so happy. I love the car, its everything youd want a Current generation ae86 to be.
What a great experience. Thank you for helping grow my love for the 86 even more!
Always love Tsuchiya san's humbleness and absolute passion for cars "for the people" and of course "fun to drive"
Awesome, thanks for the english translation! Legend
Thx, too!
I have been always Honda guy. I drove S2k and wait for the next gen S2k. I didnt give up the hope though Honda doesnt have any plan.
But today, his fascination to 86 totally sold me. I'm going to Toyota dealer tomorrow.
This is a monumental moment for the 86; a beautiful swan song like no other. Going against all the odds and providing the enthusiast with what they have been begging for years. Thank you Toyota and DK for being this car to existence and exposing its majestic presence to car culture!
Thank you, I really appreciate the translation/subtitling work.
Tsuchiya san thanks for this beautiful video about the history of the AE86 and its GT86 heir. In Italy it is called Toyota gt86. I got really excited. I love this car, especially since I saw the initial D anime. I have had a Toyota celica in the past, fantastic car. the gr86 has many innovative solutions in general, from the engine, to the chassis and suspension. seeing it close to your gt86, personally I would choose your gt86. I liked this car right away, as soon as it arrived on the Italian market. personally I find it with a stronger personality than the gr86, this is my opinion. unfortunately it is no longer sold in Italy and, as far as I know, the gr86 will not be imported. luckily there are used gt86s for sale, and my plan will be to buy one. even if I'm not that young anymore, I always have the desire to have fun driving! with a few tuning tricks, i'm sure the gt86 will make people like me enjoy more. domo arigatou gozaimasu !!!!

You can blame BMW for this. Their cars all work this way and since the Supra is made by them, I think Toyota brought it to the 86 to bring it inline with the Supra. Also, it isn't bad once you get used to it. I struggled with it at first as well.
