About the 1990 Toyota MR2 Turbo
The SW20 MR2 Turbo represents Toyota's peak mid-engine achievement, combining exotic proportions with accessible pricing. The 3S-GTE turbocharged four-cylinder delivered 200 hp in a lightweight package, creating supercar-like performance for sports car money. Isao Tsuzuki's design aged beautifully, those flowing lines still turn heads today. The removable T-top panels added versatility without compromising structural rigidity significantly. Early models suffered snap-oversteer issues, but Toyota's 1993 suspension revisions transformed handling characteristics. Clean examples are appreciating rapidly, particularly low-mileage manual cars in desirable colors like Red or Yellow. The 150,000-unit production run sounds high, but rust, accidents, and modifications have claimed many. Collectors prize unmolested examples with complete maintenance records. This is Toyota's answer to the Lotus Esprit and Ferrari 348, mid-engine exotica without the exotic maintenance bills.
