Well this won't see the light of day...probably like the Mazda rx concept-beautiful car....doubt we'll ever see either one. Really car companies should pull their collective heads out of their asses and design a car that CAN be produced as is, not some museum queen. Plus who in the hell chose those color combos? Great outside...cool carbon-then corvette blue interior bits? Wth, that looks so tacky
@@KiraOniiChan FT-1 was gorgeous, but on this one, the way the rear wheel arch has an angled peak well forward of the top of the arch is absolutely HIDEOUS. The rest of the car is GORGEOUS.
i believe they will water it down while still staying to the concept model, cuz that kinda looks so outrageous, and maybe also not-so production friendly model
You must be a fan of the old style cars, but if you don't mind me asking, why aren't you a fan of futuristic cars?....you can't be stuck in the past forever.
The prototypes always look like this on the wheels, but the real model looks much worse because they have to leave more room for suspension travel, and they also sit further into the body. Only track cars can look like this fit with very stiff suspension.
Really do like the design! And having owned the 1st and 2nd gen MR2, I welcome their possible return! Do not want a fully electric sports car, takes the passion away. Would prefer ICE or hybrid; and right now it is beginning to appear the trade off for all electric isn’t worth it. And I know I don’t want an AWD as they feel TOO planted, and I enjoy being able to toss it around like you used to be able to do with a RWD. AWD takes some of the driving fun away as some of that “looseness” is gone.
@@Toyotamark2blitjzx110 I am sure of that! However if I were to purchase such a car I would still be left with the added weight and complexity of the system; which can add to the maintenance. I do like and agree of marketing the car at the level of the Cayman/Boxster; just make sure it has equal if not greater performance.
I really like the way this car looks but I was hoping it would be a mid engine so we could still get a manual transmission, or at the very least be mid engine with a hybrid motor.
Manuals are dying. There's no way around that fact. Soon the only manuals you will be able to buy will be used cars. EVs will take over the world even if it's taking a long time to get there. My only problem with this car is that we can't buy it today.
@@AMG-on-2nd Manuals are not really dying, just being phased out due to electrification. There more options now to buy manual than we’ve had for a while now. While I do understand electrification is our inevitable future, I stand by my original comment. I enjoy driving manual and hope it stays an option for just a bit longer.
@@RealKazukiShikimori Dying, as in less and less new cars being designed and built with them. That’s why I said the used market is going to become your only option. I drive an R8 as my daily driver here in SoCal and I enjoy every minute of it without a manual, most of all just driving for the joy of driving with nowhere to go. But hey I understand there are many people like you who still prefer manuals.
@@RealKazukiShikimori I fully agree. I'm a retired scientist and techy, but electric cars are boring to me. Give me a lightweight car with a manal tranny and sweet high revving engine on a curvy country road anyday over a faster in a straght line electric car. I was hoping the MR2 replacement might be an ICE, but alas no. Looks like I am keeping my Elise for the rest of my life as it hits all my driving senses perfectly.
@@AMG-on-2ndDont be so sure. Toyota has long held the belief that full EV is not the future, and it looks like they might have been right. EV sales a notably down, and some manufacturers are starting to pull back on full EV commitment
The color is awesome and the concept looks sick. Production models should definitely look exactly the same but obviously has to change. Shame this is electric hybrid would be a better fit
Love the design. I'm sure it will perform great. Wish it had a non-ev option. Guess I'll have to wait for Rich Rebuilds to figure out a way to LS swap it
Been waiting on MR2 .. love the color and the seats.. but I'm afraid the price is going to set me back to buy a Miata. I don't see why they don't just use a Corolla engine and make something look this cool affordable
Looks a lot lke the already in production Chinese made 2dr ev supercar the gac aion hyper ssr cockpit. 👍🏻 Clean uncluttered design, high quality materials, nice seats no drama. That car is 176-250k U.S. what would this thing cost? Supposed to come after 2026 per toyoduh execs asked directly at the show, my guess is caterham v pricing 75-100k. Solid state cells, 300+miles of range, insane charging speed compared to today(average by then. Prob 450+hp rwd dual motors with torque vectoring.
Now I have hope that the new Mr2 is going to look insane. The Mr-s looks wasnt the best but did takes some time to get use to and is it quite an amazing platform for racing. I hope they can bring that to the new model!
I really love the looks of this. It reminds me of a Lotus from certain angles. It's always refreshing to see something other than a CUV or SUV coming to the market.
I really like the smaller screens! It reminds me of a McLaren. Once screens loose their novelty, I hope automakers move to more reasonably-sized, HD screens. Also, that roof is just begging for t-tops lol. Thanks for covering this car.
Keep us posted on this please R. Some guy came out with photos of 2 more concept designs and the Titanium one is killer. I hope it looks like that I’ll save my money don’t care, will buy one. It looks awesome. Keep it up R, you the man!
I always liked the Mister 2, but I've never owned one. I might have to buy one of these when they come out, even if I have to throw a grandchild or two into the payoff. I expect they'll be quite pricey. I'm hoping the dealer will throw in a free Twinkie.🙏
I'll give a thumbs-up 👍to the Recaro seats, especially with the blue accents. Overall, this is a very exciting look at the newest generation of the MR2. I'm excited to eventually see the "on throttle" experience with this cool car.
Hi Raiti. I remember watching your channel since the beginning, with the early WRX STi videos. I think you had something like 50k viewers at the time? It's amazing to see your growth and success. Keep killin' it!
I think it looks phenomenal. I'm into the GR86 but this is that concept car look I like, but not overkill. With such a small engine, that's something to consider. The lighter weight will be a factor. I can't see making something like this and it's slow. Love this representation though, the lighting, color and glass top all really cool. Can't wait to see more!
Thats cool that they are bringing back the MR2. This will be interesting to see what Toyota is doing. It was already awesome they brought back the Supra. All these classic import cars are coming back.
SMH, I don't trust toyota. The FT-1 concept from 2014 was stunning compared to the watered down designed that is the current supra. This mr2 concept is just as stunning but unfortunately the final product won't look anything like this.
As an owner of a MK1 MR2 Supercharger for the past 20+ years, who loves sharp angles vs overly soft curves, this is a very cool proposition styling wise. Definitely has more in common with the dramatic MK1 than the Mk2 or 3.
It's been a LOOOOOOOOONG time since I've looked at any Toyota and thought, "...DAMN! That looks GOOD!" I hope they make it and don't soften of dull it out, a la Z4pra...
Incredible pain job. So interesting how it changes depending on the angle. The question is will this car be priced below 75k? The original MR2 was a very inexpensive sports car (and not that good frankly). The shape from the rear is fantastic. The interior mesh would collect dust so is DOA. I wonder how radical the final product will be. Probably a lot less exciting. Sure wish companies would stop teasing us with products they don't intend to make.
This is a pretty common misconception, the original 85-95 MR2s were quite pricey. Adjusted for inflation, the SW20 (90-95 US MY) would be about the same price as a new Corvette Stingray, around $60,000. The AW11 was about $45,000, also adjusted for inflation, so better but certainly still not what I would call inexpensive. Though, the supra was more expensive in both model generations, so if we could get that price model back, everyone would be grateful. A sub 50k MR2 would blow everything else out of the water.
def will be over 50k forsure especially if its all electric with new tech from toyota. The increase in making a car and just inflation in general will def make this car cost the same or more than the supra. Just look at the gr corolla, its a 40k car marked up to 50-60k. And with this car looking really good and the best tech in toyota, itll cost a pretty penny. Just look at the new typeR and integra typeS, they cost around 22-28k back then and now theyre over 45k. Every new cool sports car will cost alot, especially the all electric vehicles
A Japanese magazine with insider sources that turned out to be pretty reliable said this thing would be powered by a 1.0 3 cyl with 120 hp. But would be super cheap, like Frs cheap.
The original MR2 was a brilliant car. Owned one for 4 years in the 1980's and it was wonderful. The only car i've owned since that surpasses it is my current S2 Elise.
Fantastic design - i really like it but, as an MR2 fan and previous owner (all 3 iterations), this car is no runabout and its price bracket would be way above that of the traditional MR2 niche. Maybe a GR2?
100% love everything about it especially the blue on the int of it Toyota has knocked it out of the park and the stadium too gorgeous thank you and Lori both
Oh my God, Raity. This is incredible. I was going to wait for this car but they kept delaying it so I got a GR86 instead. But wow, just a gorgeous vehicle and you brought it to us first.
You do great ev reviews man, I for one really appreciate it! 👍🏻😎 Wish you could cover the gac aion hyper ssr, sc01 2dr ev and yangwang u9 evs. Shame China doesn't show them outside of China.
Joe spoke of "All the details" early on , but gave a good over-view (some details). That back side vent , has to pertain to a mid-engine (ICE) motor.

It'll be interesting to see what the invoice /MSRP price will be , probably something over $40k .... $45 ?? Mr. 2
I’m glad I turned this on. Hadn’t watched a video from him in awhile and this one served as a perfect reminder about why I don’t watch his videos. I’m a big time gear head car guy….. Ratti is obviously not. The weird attempts at being creative when describing a car takes away from his videos. If he’s trolling in every single car video then my apologies. It just feels like he’s trying so hard to describe a car into something it’s not and completely loses IMO true “car guys” that have come across his channel. Maybe it’s an east coast thing…. I can’t listen to another vid because my ears threaten to go on strike. I apologize to those who love this guy that I may have offended.
Absolutely love it. I had a 90's MR2. Unfortunately, it will cost 1 million dollars with the dealer markup so it is dead to me. Hey Toyota, close your dealerships and sell directly to the customer.
huge respect to raitis rides for traveling all the way to 2026 to get us this review 👍🏻

@@RaitisRidesexcuse me, are there a lot of guys with decelopmental disabilities who love motor vehicles who drive sports cars or supercars?
imo the iconic sp is better but this is pretty ok
The front wheel arches are too high
@@mikeabraham4224 i like the lmp style headlights but the inside other then the recaros is so bad. what where they thinking with that blue stuff
Looks amazing, but knowing Toyota it will look a lot softer. We remember the FT-1 😅
Are there a lot of guys with decelopmental disabilities who love motor vehicles who drive sports cars or supercars?
Yeah, but there's also the Lexus LF-LC, which spawned the LC500... It pretty much remained unchanged from the concept.
I loved how the FT-1 looked like

@largec my reasoning is modern aerodynamics make vehicles all look very similar. In the past each model looked unique
@@largeci just think they look mind numbingly similar, it also looks too appealing to younger people and thus a target to steal/damage
Production version is not going to look like that!😀

The fact that it will cost over 100,000 and probably won’t be built is just another dream
It being an EV is a nightmare, I hope it never gets built
Looks cool for an action movie 😂
Read in an article, its £633,000 which converts to ~$700,000+ usd
Its going to cost 50k to 60k

making a mr2 electric really sucks . it looks nothing like a mr2
finally straight lines and curved lines in perfect harmony that design is perfect
YOOOOO. I finally realized why this design looked so familiar to me. It literally looks like Jackson Storm from Cars 3 lol.
imagine having to clean that interior with the hexagonal mesh/ structure
I thought it was 2025, but I love how it designs the GR MR2 FT-SE
The running lights wrapping around the bottom for underglow is peak design.
awesome review and that shade of blue on those Recaro seats, it's pleasing to the eyes, imo, especially in contrast to the body color.

I’m glad I turned this on. Hadn’t watched a video from him in awhile and this one served as a perfect reminder about why I don’t watch his videos. I’m a big time gear head car guy….. Ratti is obviously not.
The weird attempts at being creative when describing a car takes away from his videos.
If he’s trolling in every single car video then my apologies. It just feels like he’s trying so hard to describe a car into something it’s not and completely loses IMO true “car guys” that have come across his channel. Maybe it’s an east coast thing…. I can’t listen to another vid because my ears threaten to go on strike. I apologize to those who love this guy that I may have offended.
Absolutely love it. I had a 90's MR2. Unfortunately, it will cost 1 million dollars with the dealer markup so it is dead to me. Hey Toyota, close your dealerships and sell directly to the customer.
Toyota finally had taken design serious! Just picked up a Grand Highlander is great and now looking closely at the new Prius 👏👏👏
Yeah, this will NEVER look like this when it comes to production. And I owned a 1995 MR2 Turbo. Loved that little car.
that it absolutely bonkers....but boy imagine the enjoyment if it would have been a mid engine GR Corolla drivetrain with a manual!!!
The side profile is amazing to look at. The front and rear are busy trainwreck and need more time to design.
You need to see it in person.
You guys are fun to watch thanks for the content :)
Gorgeous! Can't wait to see these in production... or at least a very similar iteration.
