Is MR2 a supercar?
Sometimes nicknamed a “junior supercar,” the Toyota MR2 was far ahead of its time when it launched over four decades ago. It was a mid-engined, rear-wheel- drive (also, “runabout”) two-seater — thus the “MR2” name — and when it debuted, it was Japan’s first production mid-engined vehicle.

The car’s name was an acronym for “Midship Runabout 2-seater,” and it provided drivers with sleek style, excellent fuel economy, and impressive speed and handling.MR2 stood for ‘Midship Runabout 2-seater’, but, sadly, in French ‘MR2’ happens to sound exactly like ‘merde’, which, in case you are unfamiliar, translates in English as a four letter word that begins with ‘s’, ends in ‘t’ and isn’t ‘soot’. The name was rightly adjusted to the Toyota MR for French-speaking markets.
