2. MR2 そしてセリカ：人々が復活を望む2つの名車
Toyota introduced the MR2 as a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive compact sports car. The second-generation model launched in 1989. Known by some enthusiasts as the “poor man’s Ferrari” because of its Ferrari 348-like lines, the MR2 stayed in Toyota’s lineup until Toyota discontinued the third-generation convertible in 2007.Toyota first introduced the Celica in 1970. It went through seven generations before Toyota discontinued it in 2006. It was a popular model, and in 1976 the Celica Liftback GT won Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award.The original article notes that the new MR2 and Celica are rumored to use a 400-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and are expected to accelerate from 0-60 mph in as little as 4 seconds. The MR2 would use a mid-engine 2.0-liter turbocharged layout, while the Celica would mount the same engine at the front of the hood. The rumored output is 400 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.That level of performance would be enough for a 0-60 mph time of about 4 seconds, especially considering that the MR2 is rumored to weigh more than 2,860 pounds at launch.
伝統と革新
トヨタ スープラ
3. トヨタ・スープラ：伝統と革新が融合
Since Toyota launched the Supra in 1978, the name has represented Toyota performance cars. The fourth-generation Supra is especially important. Launched in the 1990s with a turbocharged engine, it became a dream car for many automobile enthusiasts.A new GR Supra would be interesting because the fifth-generation model appeared decades after the fourth-generation model disappeared in the late 1990s. If a sixth-generation Supra appears in the next few years, it would mark the Supra’s return as a regular member of Toyota’s lineup.The original article cites Japan’s Best Car Magazine reporting that Toyota plans to develop the next-generation Supra entirely in-house. Other reports in the Japanese press indicate that the 2.0-liter engine could produce nearly 400 horsepower.
小型で柔軟性がある
GR86 運動哲学
4. GR86：小さく柔軟な動きの哲学
GR86 is a small sports car developed by Toyota and Subaru. It continues the classic rear-wheel-drive layout and driving pleasure. Inspired by the 1980s AE86, it has become a favorite sporty model for modern young car owners.Rumor has it that the GR86 could see a future generation separate from the Subaru BRZ, meaning Toyota would develop the model independently. That could also mean Toyota might move away from Subaru’s four-cylinder engine and potentially adopt the GR Corolla’s turbocharged three-cylinder, as foreshadowed by the GR86 Rally Legacy concept shown at SEMA.
