Yup... MR2 Successor is "real." EV as expected.
Lexus EV Supercar is very Supra-ish |

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.

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? |

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. |
