New Toyota MR2! FT-Se Concept: Japan’s Porsche Cayman Rival

Would you buy one?

They lost me when they launched the MK3. This is hideous and has the same grievous roof line as the MK5 Supra, which, itself, is an abomination.

Just put the dam 3 cylinder turbo engine in it it will sell so dam fast

Dear god this is what the 3cyl was dremin to be inside

Great concept and it should be a full EV. Hear me out. Acceleration is better with an EV but not top speed, but how often does one drive over 200 mph? The format should remain the same, but simply replace the ICE with a battery pack and electric motors in the mid-mounted position. It shouldn't have the battery pack spread out along the undercarriage like a Tesla. The mantra of the MR2 has always been performance gained by being lightweight and balanced, rather than blunt force, so it lends itself to the idea of a performance EV. The cooling would be facilitated by air intakes and liquid circulation and the design of the lithium ion cell itself. The battery pack on a Tesla was merely thought of as a large mass of lithium ion AA batteries, so airflow along the undercarriage to facilitate cooling made sense. More experimenting and engineering needs to be put forth; in other words, 120 years of ICE development can't really compare to 20 years of fully electric development, but we're getting there.

spider ?

Light, electric and with MANUAL GEARBOX! dreams come true.

I bet this car will be on market before tesla roadster👌

Love this thing. Edit: oh.. it's ev, give my deposit back please

Do you think they'll just pay Porsche to build it for them like they do BMW for the new Supra?

EV. No.

👍I recieve it in Jesus name amen.

No wouldnt buy it 1/ wont look like that, 2 be stupidly expesive, 3 EV it wont work or last

A damn shame this is a full-on BEV, but at least it actually looks pretty nice. I'm hoping Toyota will at least manage to keep this car as light as they can given how much heavier BEVs are on average.

The GR hood badge is a pristine touch.

Make this the MR2 with the i3

Looks sick !!!

I absolutely hate the blue padded interior material. I hope that gets fixed after the first generation

My first car was a 1987 MR2 with no AC. Bought it out of high school in Seattle. Somehow I never got a speeding ticket, but got lots of warnings. Been dreaming about the new one for a few years now. I'm guessing the batteries are right behind the seats to create a similar weight and balance performance as the 80s version. Hope I can get one when they come out. Sure I have four kids but they can take turns riding with me!

Priced right, I'd have one in a second

If this actually makes it to production, without being "redesigned" and has actual next gen solid state batteries.. I might just be tempted to get an EV then.

Personally I'm fine with EV's, I'm just not buying into it until they refine the technology. (Primarily the batteries) Same sorta issue when they first mandated catalytic converters on cars, and eventually dpf/def on diesels. Just waiting till they get the issues ironed out.

Not liking it

BBB Bring Back Buttons

Drove a lot of miles in the first MR2. It was wedged and angular just like the FTSE concept. BUT, in the 80’s Japan was bold and fearless. The MR2 was Toyotas quick response to the Pontiac Fiero. The FTSE is a better idea than the current Supra.

Car of my dreams.

gay looking design though

I’m not completely sold on electric vehicles but this car would definitely entice me to buy it. Having said that, I won’t get my hopes up because the last time I did, it was with the FT-1. I wasn’t totally disappointed because of the Supra but maybe their alternative to this won’t be as good. Toyota needs to stop toying with people’s emotions 🤣🤣🤣🤨

nope. i love my MR2 Spyder turbo with stage 1 bodykit and hardtop.

Toyota design is too much in my opinion. Porsche design is all about “less is more”

when on side view the trunk looks like left open

Good chance Toyota will be in free fall by then unable to keep up with the other car makers and falling behind in bev manufacturing capacity

Looks great apart from the bloody touch screens and the yoke/joke steering wheel.

Hydrogen the sh it out of it.
At least that way the car would be lighter than an electric car.

Looks like the lotus evora

When he said electric I immediately thought 😫😒🤬

this is no mr2 !

Looks good but the steering wheel is garbage.

it looks like a wolf, like the lykan hypersport

Those wheel screens are gonna be very difficult to operate if you've angered the yakuza 😞

Just it’s a Pitty it runs on coal

I like it, it looks very good

now this looks production ready to me, and i hope they wont change anything about the styling as this thing is just beautiful!

Electric? You could get some great performance from that, but the infrastructure in the states does not exist not is the technology there. I have a Boxster now and I could how in and go for a drive and if I ran low on gas I can stop any number of places to fill up. You can't do that in an electric car not would it take a few minutes. I can't take it to the track because after a few laps how do I charge it up again. The technology is just not there to make it other then a toy for the very rich. It is beautiful but it is not viable as an electric. With a great engine in it it would be great.

Side profile is a shrunken R35 Skyline

Looks like a lotus if someone said make it future

Sadly, it's an EV..

I’d rather drive a Cayman 4.0 GTS

Polestar 6, Nissan gtr, bmx i8, and McLaren, miss some one?

Don't care, still waiting for the Toyota SFR to leave the concept status.
