The first concept, the AE86 H2, is a Trueno body style with retractable headlights and a two-tone white and black exterior. Although the car appears to be stock from the outside, significant changes have been made under the hood. Toyota has added two hydrogen storage tanks from the Mirai model, and modified the fuel injectors, pipes, and spark plugs to work with the hydrogen system. The automaker claims that the internal combustion engine's sound and vibrations have been preserved in the conversion.
The second concept, the AE86 BEV, features a Levin body with fixed headlights and a similar livery to the H2 concept. However, this car is powered by an electric motor sourced from the Tundra hybrid, a battery pack from the Prius plug-in hybrid, and other components from various Toyota and Lexus models. The manual transmission has been retained, and Toyota claims that the car's weight balance is similar to the original. The company also emphasizes the car's "unique driving experience," combining the engagement of a traditional car with the power of an electric vehicle.
Both concepts also feature seats that have been restored using seatbelts and seatbelt pads made from recycled materials, further emphasizing the car's green credentials. Toyota has partnered with several aftermarket companies for these prototypes, but there are currently no plans for mass production.
