Toyota MR2

Toyota MR2 is a two-seat, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by Central Motors, a part of Toyota, from 1984 until July 2007 when production stopped in Japan. There are three different generations of the MR2: 1984–1989, with angular, origami-like lines, 1990–1999, which had styling that some compared to Ferrari sports cars, and 2000–2007, which somewhat resembled the Porsche Boxster.

It was designed to be small, with an economical powerplant, but sporty in style and handling. Basic design elements, such as MacPherson strut front and rear suspensions and transverse-mounted inline-four engines, are common to all three generations of MR2, though each generation differs greatly from the next in particulars.

Trivia

 * Due to the 1ZZ-FED engine found in the ZZW30 MR-S having somewhat average performance, many owners like to swap their MR2 engine with a more powerful, high-revving 2ZZ-GE that was normally found in a Celica SS-II. This also happens to Kai, where his ZZW30 MR-S had its engine swapped with a highly tuned 2ZZ-GE that produces 290 hp.
