'MF Ghost' Is The Latest Car-related Japanese Anime, And It Picks Up Where 'Initial D' Left - gallery

Initial D's successor kicks things up a notch

MF Ghost gives Initial D protagonist, Takumi Fujiwara, a new ride and new opponents

We actually got a glimpse of the GT86, driven by the main protagonist, in Initial D

In one of the last Initial D series the old AE86 passes by a GT86, hinting at the character's future

MF Ghost will feature plenty of non-JDM cars too

Earlier in the series, we expect the GT86 to go up against cars like the Alfa 4C, Lotus Exige, and Porsche 718

MF Ghost will see more high-end cars too

Ferrari 488, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Huracan, and Mercedes AMG GT are only some of the sports cars we see in the trailers

The main character's ride is expected to get upgrades as the storyline progresses

It's only natural, given the performance gap between the GT86 and some of the other high-end cars, like the Nissan GT-R NISMO

MF Ghost is expected to make the transition from street racing to professional competition

Initial D's main character always aspired to go professional and the second trailer suggests, we might see it happening
