Toyota MR2 Spyder

The MR2 Spyder could technically be called the third generation of the MR2. Named for its Mid-engine layout, Rear drive and 2 seats, MR2 was originally introduced to America in 1985. The idea behind the little car was that it could provide sports car looks and excitement without a high price. In 1988 a supercharger was added to its 1.6-liter engine, and in 1991 the second generation was introduced. The new MR2 was larger and more powerful, especially with the 200-horsepower turbocharged engine. However, sales dwindled in the mid-1990s, and 1995 was the last year for U.S. sales. Five years later, the MR2 was resurrected as the MR2 Spyder. True to its heritage, it is a mid-engined, rear-drive two seater, with the addition of a convertible top.
