Previous reports suggested Toyota was working on a new MR2 that could launch as early as 2025, but now that seems unlikely

Toyota's GR division boss doesn't believe it can develop its own sports cars. Toyota worked with Subaru on the GR 86 / BRZ and BMW for the Supra / Z4. Japanese reports had suggested the MR2 could be revived as early as 2025. Toyota appears unlikely to launch a new sports car developed solely in-house as the Japanese company believes collaborating with other brands remains the best way to develop such models.

That report claimed the car could debut as early as the end of 2025 and hit the market with the same 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine as the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. Takahashi’s statements could rule out this new model. The new MR2 was thought to be an in-house project, but the bean counters at Toyota don’t appear interested in going it alone with a new sports car.
