The W10 Toyota MR2 was an instant classic, as it was an affordable mid-engine coupe with either high revving naturally aspirated or supercharged 4-cylinder.
The Toyota MR2 proved that the Japanese company had passion and heart, and it was dearly loved in return, but what does its name mean?
For the W30 MR2, Toyota ditched the Ferrari-like targa body for a full blown convertible. A mid-mounted 1.8-liter I4 with VVT was the only engine option.
Although it stuck with the mid-engine, RWD layout, the W30 Toyota MR2 ditched the coupe body and Ferrari styling for boxy looks, and a 1.8-liter I4 engine.
Styled like a mini-Ferrari, the W20 Toyota MR2 had 2 and 2.2-liter I4 engines (some with turbos) mounted midships and driving the rear wheels.
Produced between 1984 and 1989, the Toyota MR2 was a fun little mid-engine, RWD, 2-seat coupe that proved that Toyota could do fun as well as anyone.
