Also on that Tokyo Auto Salon the topic of classics is of course present. Especially older cars that are zero-emission Restomods to be transformed are very popular. Because it's a way of keeping old models alive for future generations. And Toyota is giving a taste of factory potential with two concepts on display at the Tokyo Auto Salon in Japan. The two show cars are based on the Toyota AE86, but have different powertrains. The AE86 H2 Concept uses the Trueno body with pop-up headlights and a two-tone (white-black) body. From the outside it looks almost unchanged, but a lot has happened under the hood.

Toyota has installed two Mirai hydrogen storage tanks in the trunk and the four-cylinder under the hood is mostly installed in its original form. However are Injectors, Fuel lines and spark modified to use the hydrogen system. The background noise and the combustion engine feeling are still there. The other AE86 based concept is the AE86 BEV concept with a Levin body and regular headlights. The paintwork is similar to that of AE86 H2 concept and sits under the sheet metal electric powertrain. The battery-powered system uses an electric motor from a Tundra hybrid, a battery pack from a Prius plug-in hybrid, and components from other production Toyota and Lexus models. All of this is linked to a manual gearbox.

According to Toyota, the weight balance should be very close to the original and the one-off should offer a unique driving experience. And another indication of the environmental friendliness of the two concepts are the Seats internally. They are restored seats in which the seat belts and belt pads, for example, were made from recycled materials.
