2. Toyota MR2 (SW20)
The second-generation Toyota MR2 (SW20) wasn’t just another affordable mid-engine sports car—it benefited from suspension components co-developed with Lotus.
This collaboration meant the MR2 inherited handling expertise from Lotus, the legendary British marque behind the Esprit supercar.
The result is a car with exceptionally balanced dynamics and a driving experience that feels far more exotic than its price would suggest.
Toyota’s partnership with Lotus injected genuine supercar sophistication into a practical, attainable package.
