Vehicle History Report
The 1966 Toyota Sports 800 affectionately known as "Yota-Hachi," is Toyota's first production sports car. Thanks to extreme lightweight engineering and aircraft-inspired aerodynamics, the plucky 580 kg vehicle extracts an impressive top speed of 155 km/h from its 790 cc 44 horsepower boxer engine.

Historical Context & Value
Produced between 1965 and 1969, only about 3,131 units were built globally. Most were right-hand drive for the Japanese domestic market, making the incredibly rare left-hand drive models (often shipped to Okinawa) highly prized by collectors today. Its featherweight design ethos laid the historical groundwork for later icons like the Toyota 2000GT, AE86, and modern sports cars.
