Another great production, of another great production. Love pre-2000 Japanese cars the most, the connection you have with the road is like a relationship.
@@HillClimbMonsters I know you've read the translation already, but I translated it for those who haven't or can't: I showed this video to the driver himself today. Mr. Yamamoto, he said he was young at this time because he didn't seem to watch TH-cam, but he heard the engine. I heard from him that it was an engine that wouldn't break even if it's idling at 4000 rpm, and stepped on at 12000 rpm. The engine was also said to be Toyota's works system by Fujiwara Setsubi I also believe that's Mana-P's voice doing the announcing, he normally does D1.
I feel the same way. Actually had an AW11 a decade or so ago and loved it. It was nearing the age when it needed a full resto though sadly. Same probably true of the Pulsar GTiR with which I replaced it now. 80s and 90s Japanese cars have magic about them, not unlike some 50s and 60s Italians...
You definitely did, the very last year for „good new cars“ was circa 2008. And even by then everything was already very much computerized. My 90s BMW inline six with mechanical throttle and manual gearbox feels way better and more powerful than my 2012 BMW inline six with a manual gearbox but electronic throttle, even if it has almost 100hp less.. Buy all the 90s cars you can, because there will never be something like them.. At this point I have three nineties cars, two BMW e36 with the M52 inline six and one Mercedes R129 with the M119 5.0 V8 and I absolutely plan to buy more, whenever one pops up that’s in good shape but still affordable! Because like I already mentioned, there will never again be such fine cars..
Seriously dont understand why the AW11 isnt more popular these days. Small, light, and rear midship! I wonder what kind of work this one had done, that engine sounds glorious
They're hard for the average person to drive fast and have huge problems with rust, the wheel arch liner was made of foam which obviously just absorbed water so they'd rust from the inside, it's also an old and relatively obscure Japanese car so parts and maintenance are more expensive than more popular cars of the time. Ultimately there are better ways to go fast with less money, hasn't stopped me from wanting one but being unable to find a good example has stopped me from buying at least three.
I used to have an '88 supercharged MR2 with 150 hp. That thing was a lot of fun (and very dangerous in the hands of a novice). Had the rear end come around on me quite a few times, but never wrecked it.
the aw11 always has needed a slightly longer rear control arm to get the right travel. i feel like spaceframing the rear end and using a zzw30 rear subframe would do nicely.
a stock AW11 weights around 1100kg(2425lbs) depending on trim/engine. It must almost be a silouette car to almost halve the weight down to 620kg(1366lbs). I can see the boot/trunk and probably rear firewall has been completely removed....
Depends on The market they are sold in , JDM models tended to be more powerful than the US models .96kw in Japan compared to 84kw in the US The 84- 86 years weighed in at 950kg in Japan compared to 1066kg in the us

And it is.
Especially at the limit

What an under rated platform, even in Canada we can get one for under 10k. Something to think about.🔥🔥🔥
Not a supercharged one you can't.
With 350kg more and 100hp less
wish i could get one under 10k in todays economy
That car is a beast.And driver gets the job done.Amazing precision and car control.
Great balance between power and handling, the mechanical team who developed this must live forever
久しぶりに山本選手の走りみました。
懐かしー

An awesome little rocket and that driver sure has some serious skills.
That was basically a master class in autocross in my favorite car. I love Mr2's. I really wish they still made them. So fun to drive.

They got bought up by kids that destroyed them. They're very rare these days for a fair price.

@@n_tas what foam are you referring to? I've never seen that on any of mine.
@@MasonFPS maybe he is confusing it with the SW20, that has foam in the sills. I dont know if the AW11 had them too

Spoken like a true expert 👍 The rear sub-frame is spaceframed and pretty much all panels of the cars were made of CFRP.

I miss mine! That sound!
These rare footages are freakn' awesome!!😍😍
Nice weight transfer, looks fun to drive
This is GOLD

When i think about it after watching initial D legend and then watching this Gymkhana was already a thing back in the days.
MR2 ❤️❤️❤️
Damn I’d absolutely love it if Toyota made a proper new version of this car!!!
There are rumors they're going to bring it back
Quincy Gaming no way?! That would be SICK!!!
@@lucasblanchard47 rumor has it they want the 3 brothers back. Except now it would be super, 86, and the rumored new mr2 :D

時代を感じるな～
That car is dancing!
OMG! That was awesome, but how much time do you have to memorize that course?
Damn can’t be much with that agility and sound to accompany!
I use to think the AW11 was hideous. Now it's one of the best looking car put there IMO.
So fast, and crazy to drive, for sure!
How every AW11 owner drives theirs when they get comfortable with it.
I know my car has a good grip and is hard to make it go ouyt of control. But i didnt know it was that stable
yes i have the MR2 AW11
Same here man. I have an 85 with a blacktop swap.
Looks so rad
Beautiful
And people still ask why i want a old Toyota...
Great car control.
very smooth
The 4AGE was some unit in its day.
Until the 4A-GZE came along.
Wait, this thing weighed less than a modern F1 car?
amazing video very nice
glorious 3S-G sound
thats a 4age, sw20 had the 3sg(t)e
This is how I drive when I’m searching for a parking spot at Walmart.
Wow what a rocket!
さすがの回頭性と鬼トラクションだな

Mk1 mr2's are superior to mk2s, change my mind.
MK2 are also very good too ! But the idea in your case, you take a 3SGTE and put it in mk1
@@djorksolo8544 Hell yeah
Mk1.5 is the superior race car. MKII is the superior daily driver
@@negativeindustrial f a c t s
not in the suspension department
Great sound....
So nimble and agile
The baddest 220hp.
Is there any more information and pictures about this car online?
How to get an AW11 to 620kg :o and still a 4age inside, awesome!
DOPE. thank you, my dude.
The definition of nimble.
This is exactly how I felt as a pizza delivery boy hauling ass in my '85 MR2 with no muffler.
Those were the days.
That front end grip. :O
Thumbs down are all sw20 and Spyder owners jelly their car can't track
I wonder where that old girl is today??
My friend has a AW11 rust bucket he trying to save. The 4AGE is dead so the new heart will be a SR20.
Hope he does! The AW11 is a great little car.
sr20de or det? i would choose dthe n/a version for this little rocket
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt NA variant from the Sentra
Turbo engine will screw up the whole idea!
Sr20de would be the best option. And if you want more power check the SR20VE. It has roughly 190hp.
I don't think there's much, if any, original AW11 left in this car. It looks to be a fibreglass shell on top of a tube frame.
If you haven't yet you should look up Toyota MR2 (222D) it's basically this but on steroids.
I miss the 80'-90's Japanese cars.
all i can say is thank you😁 👍
Sounds like a cosworth, aka beautiful
1300 pounds and 220hp god that thing must feel so fast
Quality driver
What kind of black magic was performed to squeeze 220 out of a 4age
Keep em coming I FUCKING LOVE IT 😍👍🏿🔥💯💯💪🏿
In France, Toyota badges those cars MR Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 and not MR2 because in french, MR2 looks a lot like the french word for "Shit". ;-)
Real gymkhana.
620kg: was it a tuned MR2 or a prototype? Sounds like the specs of the lightened cars in a known racing game of more than 20yrs ago!
Being gymkhana it's not a prototype nuts stripped road car
Is this AWD or RWD? I'd assume AWD but again, the weight could make it seem so.
JAPAN POWA!
no sidemirrors look cool
Zero dislikes 👌🏻
epic
👍
Love!!
