Can't see that. Porsche only non-inhouse engines are shared within their family company VW/Audi's Rheinmetall Group. They happen to be their non-flat engines (V6, and V8) found in the Cayenne, Macan and Panamera... not their popular sports cars.

Porsche has already employed their E-hybrid technology in car since 2013 across most models and full electric with their successful Taycan. So why bother with Toyota when Porsche and VAG already are sharing in house electrification that benefits all their own companies?


Lastly, there is zero case for slotting a MR2 above the Supra MKV IMO. The MKV will end production in 3 years. If the rumors for the S58 to be coming to the Supra are true, then that already pushes the cars price tag up another 20 grand maxing out the place where the MR2 would go.



My guess would be that a MR2 might replace the Supra. If there is no A100 planned with BMW.


Just throwing this up. BMW is just stopped production with of the i8. Said to be replacing it in the near future with something based off Vision M Next concept with a rear mounted turbo 3 cylinder in a 600hp hybrid setup... MR2 partnership? Let the outcry begin!
