    Fun fact. Never sold in France, they had to rebrand it, as MR2 phonetically, says “shit” in french.

      Hell yeah those are rad. I used to win a lot on Gran Turismo by getting a used MR2 turbo and adding lots of upgrades. The power-to-weight ratio combined with its amazing handling was like a cheat code.

      Imagine converting one of those to electric RWD - if there were enough room to fit batteries its low weight should make it highly efficient.
