However, the actually closed Coupé version received a removable glass roof part as standard in Europe from 1985. Both of which had a feature that was also optionally taken up for the Japanese car called ‘MR2’: a removable targa roof. In other countries, comparable sports cars had been around for a relatively long time, such as the Porsche 914 or the Fiat X1/9. However, it took over a year before production started in November 1984. In 1983 the mid-engine sports car made its debut as the SV-3 Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. The wedge shape they decided for in 1979 was already familiar to car fans from other sports cars such as the Lotus Esprit. Toyota began with the preliminary work on the first mid-engine vehicle from Japanese production as early as 1976, and the aim was to create a superior product in this category as well, with a design that would fit the times as well as possible. Although this means that there is no direct contact with the vehicle, and we are unfortunately unable to include the expert opinions that would have been expressed in Cologne, we make every effort to include as many interesting facts of this model as possible. For us, this is a good reason to focus on the popular sports car, which has been produced for 23 years, in our online magazine.
