Looks even more Chester than the BRZ

i like it, but its not perfect by any means. if and when a road version is approved, no doubt it will be cleaned up. case in point:

Yup... MR2 Successor is "real." EV as expected.

Lexus EV Supercar is very Supra-ish

Oh, the rust yellow one is an MR2 successor, says the other thread.

Supposedly the MR2 successor although not sure how it would be a mid-engine so they'll have to change the name unless that is M=Magnetic R=Rotors X 2.

Interesting idea, and I think you could be right. In the Taycan, and Lucid (with the smaller battery) they remove cells from the rear passenger footwell to make it more comfortable so your knees aren't so high. But those cars are also very long, so moving moving the batteries around should be relatively easy.

For a supercar, to get more than 100 kwh, if that is a target, they probably will have to be stacked given the limited size and need for 4-electric motors and whatever suspension they go with.
Lotus did this with the Evija.

If Porker can call an EV a ‘turbo’ then Toyota can call an EV an MR2 I guess? ;) At some point it becomes a ‘brand’ rather than a descriptor of the engineering.

Gotta say, I dig the EV MR2 idea. Especially if that is the only way to get a new one, since the window for an ICE one, even hybrid, is closing.

But is it a real chance of production or just another SF-R style concept that will never enter production?

Sasquachulator 12-16-2021 11:01 PM
That would depend if there is a market for one, which there could be, especially a cheap EV sports car.

right now EV's are expensive luxury cars or SUV's.
"lesser" EV's arent even available in North America, (Europe has a bunch though...and they're all CUVs lol)

when the SF-R concept was revealed i think Toyota was in the midst of its "who can we build this thing with?" since they were all about collaboration with sports cars and whether there was a business case to keep it priced below an 86 and sell in enough numbers to justify its existence.

If we're going to play Suzuki concept cars I give you this from 2001:
