The collaboration bridges traditional scale modelling and JDM digital-art culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno occupies a singular position in Japanese automotive history. Produced from 1983 to 1987 within the E80 third-generation Corolla range, it carried the 4A-GE DOHC inline-four developed in conjunction with Yamaha — a free-revving unit that defined a generation of lightweight sports driving. Kyosho has translated this icon into a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e resin model wearing a custom design by UK-based digital artist Khyzyl Saleem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ae86-sprinter-trueno-e80\"\u003eThe AE86 Sprinter Trueno: E80 Chassis in Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the AE86 family, the Sprinter Trueno is the hatchback body style, distinguished from the Corolla Levin notchback by its retractable pop-up headlights — a detail as recognisable today as any specification figure. The chassis designation AE86 encodes both the body series (A) and the 4A-GE engine fitment. The compact two-door hatchback made it the platform of choice for a generation of grassroots motorsport and drifting competitors throughout the 1980s and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"khyzyl-saleem-design\"\u003eKhyzyl Saleem and the Art of the Custom Livery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKhyzyl Saleem is a UK-based digital automotive artist recognised across the JDM and car-design community for his highly detailed, stylised renderings of Japanese performance cars. His AE86 illustrations — characterised by aggressive wide-body treatments and clean graphic liveries — earned him a devoted following well before any physical product existed. Kyosho collaborated directly with Saleem to translate one of his signature AE86 designs into a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e resin model, with this white variant reproducing the light, graphic quality that defines his digital work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"kyosho-118-resin-model\"\u003eThe Kyosho 1:18 Resin Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKyosho produced this model in resin at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale, a format that allows the surface complexity of Saleem's custom bodywork and white livery to be reproduced with precision. Resin construction eliminates the panel-gap compromises inherent in diecast tooling, making it the appropriate medium for a subject whose value lies precisely in its bodywork detailing. The result is a crossover collectible that sits equally at home with a serious scale-model collection and with fans of JDM digital-art culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KYOSHO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60339422921088,"sku":"KSR18070W","price":243.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ksr18070w-front34-v2.jpg?v=1794087071","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/toyota-sprinter-trueno-ae86-khyzyl-saleem-1983-white","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
