Our Take:
- Rare mid-engine sportscar heritage: The 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo represents the golden era of Toyota's foray into mid-engine sports cars. Known for its handling dynamics and turbocharged punch, it embodied a unique blend of performance and affordability—a combination that's hard to find today.
- 2GR-FE V6 engine swap potential: This MR2 Turbo is in the midst of a 2GR V6 swap, a notable upgrade from its original 2.0L turbo 3S-GTE engine. The 2GR-FE, borrowed from Toyota's lineup like the Highlander, packs a punch with more horsepower and modern reliability—a tempting project for any enthusiast with a penchant for customization.
- Cosmetic challenges and classic appeal: Despite its cosmetic flaws and rebuilt title, the MR2's iconic wedge shape and pop-up headlights still charm from a distance. With some TLC, it could be a head-turner again, tapping into the nostalgia of '90s automotive design.
- Community and aftermarket support: The MR2 benefits from a robust enthusiast community and a plethora of aftermarket support. This can be a double-edged sword—while aftermarket parts and modifications are plentiful, finding the right combination to maintain balance and reliability can be both challenging and rewarding.
