Spied: Toyota's Mid-Engine AWD Project Sparks MR2/Celica Revival Talk
Spotted in Japan, a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive prototype with Yaris styling hints and a swan-neck rear wing is fueling talk of a Toyota MR2 revival (or Celica), potentially built on a GR Yaris Concept M test bed. The car is expected to use Toyota's new G20E 2.0L turbo engine (~300 hp in standard form, up to 600 hp in racing variants) with a rear-mounted trans and a variable power split between axles, while a manual option remains unclear and Toyota has not confirmed details.
