The second-generation MR2 was given a complete makeover before it debuted in 1989. The car quickly gained popularity among JDM enthusiasts due to its unique-for-the-price-point features, such as the mid-engine design and planted handling. The handling and road-holding of the MR2 were areas in which Toyota invested a lot of time to improve for the MK2, seeking advice from professional racers. This W-sport roof edition stayed with its original owner up until 2016, with all of the original purchase paperwork and build sheets along with the original owner's manual. The subject car is up for sale in Florida. With just 57k miles to its name, it is a well-preserved example of one of Japan's finest sports cars.
The 'baby Ferrari' comes in all-original white paintwork. The MR2 has many distinctive exterior features, including the iconic pop-up headlights, indicators that blend into the front bumper, a low, aggressive stance, air vents on the side to cool the rear brakes, and of course, a rear wing to aide aero. This SW20 has ABS brakes and sits on a set of Enkei wheels wrapped in Yokohama Tires. Included in the sale are the original bags for the T-tops. The new design of the MR2 made the car much larger than the previous generation, adding up to 180kg to the total weight. One of the main contributing factors was the larger and more luxurious cabin. This example has a blue interior. Its air conditioning unit has been upgraded to an R134 system, while it features a pair of body-hugging bucket seats, a period steering wheel, and inner panels that look to be in decent condition. The car also has cruise control, power locks, and windows that have a UV protection tint.
This is where the MR2 Shines. The SW20 hosts a turbocharged 2-liter 3S-GTE engine that, when stock, produced 200 hp. This specimen is equipped with an aftermarket K&N air filter, an OEM water pump, and a timing belt tensioner with all engine hoses replaced with OEM parts for preventive maintenance. The purchase also includes an additional set of rotors and brake pads that are brand new and still in the box, along with two keys and a valet key.
