Perhaps most tantalizing is the recent report that Toyota may use a modified Synergy Drive hybrid system from the Prius to build a hybrid version of the MR2 that Toyota killed two years ago. Auto Express says the car, a response to the CR-Z, will sport rear-wheel drive and a paddle-shifted transmission. Judging from the rendering over at Auto Express (it’s copyrighted, so we can’t post it here), the car would look more like the second-gen MR2 shown above than the third-gen Spyder.
"We are aware of the fondness with which the MR2 is held in the UK and Europe, and we are developing a small hybrid sports car," Toyota executive vp Masatami Takimoto told the magazine during the Geneva auto show. "We have set a tough price point (expected to be about $28,000), as it will be easier to sell if it is affordable."
Yes. Yes it would, Mr. Takimoto.
Paste Ich jetzt mal so..
Klingt aber Interessant!
