Toyota Announces New Mr2

New Toyota MR2 may have just been announced ahead of Tokyo Auto Salon The long-awaited Toyota lightweight sports car could get the Gazoo Racing 'GR MR2' name. Our exclusive render imagines the next MR2 as a low, wide, mid-engine sports car with classic proportions. The short front overhang, long door cut, and tightly packaged rear make it clear the engine sits behind the cabin.

Rumours of a new Toyota MR2 continue to rumble on, with the latest reports hinting it'll use the company's all-new four-cylinder engine, producing 395bhp. What engine will the new Toyota MR2 have? According to Best Car in Japan, Toyota should give the new MR2 the same 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-three that powers the GR Yaris and the GR Corolla. The report says the MR2 could pack up to 316 horsepower and 304 lb-ft of torque, which would be a bit more potent than the GR Corolla Morizo.

A recent video posted by Gazoo Racing confirms a new "mid-engined two-seater" will be showcased at the Tokyo Auto Salon later this week. Toyota teases a possible MR2 comeback with a short. A series of trademark filings suggests that the new MR2 could wear GR logos instead of Toyota badges, as Toyota spins off its performance subbrand.

The Tokyo Auto Salon is days away, which means that we're eagerly anticipating announcements from Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Toyota. This year is an especially exciting one for Toyota, which will show its V. The MR2 just moved one step closer to being official.

Toyota's rumored MR2 revival potentially just got nudged a little closer to reality. Multiple sources report that the Japanese automaker just filed a trademark protection application for the names "GR MR2" and "GR MRS" at intellectual property offices in more than 10 countries. The trademark filing for a Toyota GR MR2 nameplate is likely about to be put to use.

With Chairman Toyoda personally teasing the reveal, anticipation is high for what Toyota will unveil, whether it's a production.
