Toyota appears to have confirmed a reborn MR2 performance car will launch before 2030, with the svelte orange vehicle parked at the back of a major Toyota EV announcement pointing to the brand's "three brothers" strategy finally taking off.
Toyota hasn't confirmed what the model will be called, but has promised plenty of driver fun, assuring that Toyota's Master Driver, and boss, Akio Toyoda, will be happy with the results.
The announcement came as something of a surprise as Toyota outlined its vision for a not-too-distant future that will be filled with EVs. And among the familiar body shapes lurked the new performance car, which looks a lot like renders of the MR2 we've seen to date.
It also adds weight to Japanese reports the new model will be built in partnership with Lotus - a brand that has made its electric intentions clear.
Lotus has made no bones about its shift to being an all-electric company by the end of this decade, with the Evija to be the first of an entirely new, and entirely electric, range.
The move would see the completion of Toyota's "three brother" strategy, which has been touted since 2018 and promises three dedicated performance models in the GR line-up, joining the GR Supra and the GR86.
The best part? The vehicle could be mere "years away", with Mr Toyota promising that this is "not a dreamy future, it’s a reachable one, and it’s just around the corner".
