MR-S

Mid‑engine, rear‑drive two‑seat roadster with a light, compact body and crisp steering. Low seating and a short wheelbase deliver a direct, engaging feel with an open‑top view.

The 1st-gen MR-S (MR2 Spyder) introduced a lightweight mid‑engine, RWD convertible layout with a stiffer body and modern electronic controls (e.g., VVT-i, ABS), focusing on agility and low inertia handling; the facelift brought equipment/tuning updates and detail/reliability improvements.

Uses the 1.8L 1ZZ-FE inline‑4 naturally aspirated engine with VVT-i, paired with a 5-speed manual or an SMT automated manual; the key is a lightweight, linear NA powertrain in a mid‑engine RWD layout tuned for responsiveness.
