Launched in 1984, the MR2 launched a new genre of mid-engined sports cars with a high-end image but at an affordable price.
The MR2 was a 2-seater with an engine placed in the middle of the car that powered the rear wheels. Its low height and center of gravity gave it excellent performance, while its low front nose meant that visibility was not sacrificed.
The name MR2 stood for "Midship Runabout, 2-seater", and was warmly welcomed by sporty-minded drivers after its release. |
