Toyota global PR with a whole whack of information.

This is the only link so far ive found that talks exclusively about the AE86 BEV and H2 conversions.
Im curious how the BEV model works...it apparently uses the original AE86 5 speed MT in some manner (not software programmed like the EV stick they tested in that Lexus UX mule)
And in that video above about the AE86 conversions, the BEV car still sounds like it has a real engine too....

the video pretty clearly shows an ft86 knob and reverse lockout, so i'm somewhat convinced that they're using a newer 6 speed, likely because it was already on hand, either old overstock from the past gen, or new stock from the 2nd gen.
if they were using the original 5 speed, it shouldn't need the reverse lockout collar. unless of course they managed to fit it in just to mess with us all.
i'm most curious as to where those cars came from. does toyota have a random warehouse that they keep a backstock of 40 year old cars?
