It’s all just rumours for now, but if it appears, the reborn sports car could be packing all-wheel-drive
- Rumour-mill buzz persists that Toyota is working on a new MR2 successor
- This upcoming mid-engine sports car (if it exists) could have over 400 horses
- The other gossip swirling around is that all-wheel drive may be in the cards
BestCar is asserting Toyota is mulling the use of its upcoming 400-hp 2.0L turbocharged engine – the one it’s tangled up with Mazda and Subaru on development – in an MR2 redux, along with some sort of all-wheel-drive system. Hey, if it uses the “GT-Four” badging from rally-inspired Celica coupes in the ‘90s, count us in.
But for now, it’s all conjecture. Until we learn something concrete, please enjoy the above dandy photos of past MR2 models from the Toyota archives.
