Toyota Corolla AE86
The trick was that the AE86 was just a version of the standard Corolla model. Since the 8th generation was also the last rear-wheel drive model, engineers thought they should put a high-revving 1.6-liter engine in it and see how it transformed the car. Due to its rear-wheel-drive platform, stiff suspension, and optional limited-slip differential, the AE86 soon became a drift legend, and it is still used in drift events worldwide.
