      The prototypes always look like this on the wheels, but the real model looks much worse because they have to leave more room for suspension travel, and they also sit further into the body.
      Only track cars can look like this fit with very stiff suspension.

    Really do like the design! And having owned the 1st and 2nd gen MR2, I welcome their possible return! Do not want a fully electric sports car, takes the passion away. Would prefer ICE or hybrid; and right now it is beginning to appear the trade off for all electric isn’t worth it. And I know I don’t want an AWD as they feel TOO planted, and I enjoy being able to toss it around like you used to be able to do with a RWD. AWD takes some of the driving fun away as some of that “looseness” is gone.

    Incredible pain job. So interesting how it changes depending on the angle. The question is will this car be priced below 75k? The original MR2 was a very inexpensive sports car (and not that good frankly). The shape from the rear is fantastic. The interior mesh would collect dust so is DOA. I wonder how radical the final product will be. Probably a lot less exciting. Sure wish companies would stop teasing us with products they don't intend to make.

      This is a pretty common misconception, the original 85-95 MR2s were quite pricey. Adjusted for inflation, the SW20 (90-95 US MY) would be about the same price as a new Corvette Stingray, around $60,000. The AW11 was about $45,000, also adjusted for inflation, so better but certainly still not what I would call inexpensive.
      Though, the supra was more expensive in both model generations, so if we could get that price model back, everyone would be grateful. A sub 50k MR2 would blow everything else out of the water.

      @droptopp3479 ปีที่แล้ว

      def will be over 50k forsure especially if its all electric with new tech from toyota. The increase in making a car and just inflation in general will def make this car cost the same or more than the supra. Just look at the gr corolla, its a 40k car marked up to 50-60k. And with this car looking really good and the best tech in toyota, itll cost a pretty penny. Just look at the new typeR and integra typeS, they cost around 22-28k back then and now theyre over 45k. Every new cool sports car will cost alot, especially the all electric vehicles

      A Japanese magazine with insider sources that turned out to be pretty reliable said this thing would be powered by a 1.0 3 cyl with 120 hp. But would be super cheap, like Frs cheap.

      The original MR2 was a brilliant car. Owned one for 4 years in the 1980's and it was wonderful. The only car i've owned since that surpasses it is my current S2 Elise.

  • @jasongivens7469
    @jasongivens7469 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It looks awesome colors are great but if it's going electric and the price will probably be so high it will force me to buy a Mazda Miata

    @MrRaggamuffin75 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    SMH, I don't trust toyota. The FT-1 concept from 2014 was stunning compared to the watered down designed that is the current supra. This mr2 concept is just as stunning but unfortunately the final product won't look anything like this.

  • @tsmith7146
    @tsmith7146 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Fantastic design - i really like it but, as an MR2 fan and previous owner (all 3 iterations), this car is no runabout and its price bracket would be way above that of the traditional MR2 niche. Maybe a GR2?

  • @LanceCorporal_Waffles
    @LanceCorporal_Waffles ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This car is pretty rad. I hope that they give us a gas powered version. Would be cool to have this in a garage next to the GR Corolla.
