I think it could just be an individual build for the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon.It could just be a GRMN 86 test mule with a more aggressive body kit. But itâs really exciting if this is an MR2 test mule.
Looks photoshopped to me.This is interesting
Its 90% not a new GR86 since this one is based on 1st gen and those air ducts MAY suggest mid-engine layout.
I totally see enough space to put the engine behind the driver in the current 86.
Or its just some tuner 1-off for the TAS that is not happening.
yeah, 99% it is, since its cleary gen 1 86 with bodykit on this photo.i think its just a one off for TAS, sorry to get everyone's hopes up lol.
Nah Lotus is getting in bed with Alpine.a Toyota and Lotus team up does make more sense than Porsche. maybe we'll see a new Elise / MR2 & Evora / Supra. both of those cars are old as dirt and the current model's MSRP do fall inline with Bestcar's pricing.
The Elise/Exige platform would make for a perfect traditional MR2 especially since theyâve used Toyota 1ZZ-GE engines.Lotus is selling the tooling for the Elise/Exige. Would be amazing if Toyota bought it and used it as the base for the MR2.
