Vehicle Detail
The Toyota MR2 Spyder has a powerful all-aluminum 1.8-liter 16-valve VVT-I engine, mounted midship for balance and handling usually reserved for the racetrack. The similarity between the MR2 Spyder and race cars doesn't stop there: there's also an available 6-speed sequential manual transmission. And an ultra-rigid yet supremely lightweight chassis, which helps give the MR2 Spyder its remarkable power-to-weight ratio. Think about it. Now that you're an adult, there's endless asphalt to enjoy. Which may explain why you couldn't wait to grow up.The moment you get behind the wheel of the MR2 Spyder you start to feel different. The available 6-speed sequential manual transmission is one reason you're feeling so energized.This race-derived feature eliminates the need for a clutch pedal. And then there's the MR2 Spyder's perfectly balanced mid-engine layout—no back seat, no back-seat drivers. And the drilled aluminum sport pedals.FEATURES• P185/55R15 front, 215/45R16 15" front/16" rear aluminum alloy wheels• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)• Functional side air intake ducts• Defroster-linked CFC-free air conditioning• Cruise control (sequential manual transmission models only)• Drilled aluminum sport pedals• Leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel and gearshift lever (with chrome shift lever on sequential manual)• Driver and front passenger air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)1 with passenger-side air bag cutoff switch• AM/FM CD with 4 speakers and power antenna• Manual folding Black cloth convertible top with glass rear window and electric defroster• Instrument cluster with analog speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge; LCD odometer with twin tripmeters; and seatbelt disconnect, air bag, door-ajar, battery, oil pressure, brake, check engine and low-fuel level warning lights• Dual lockable storage compartments behind the seats• Fabric-trimmed 4-way adjustable sport seats• Power windows with retained-power and driver's auto-down features• Power door locks with anti-lockout feature• Multi-function remote keyless entry system with lock, unlock and panic features• Aerodynamic projector/multi-reflector halogen headlamps with Daytime Running Lights (DRL)• Integrated fog lamps• Color-keyed bumpers and door handles• Dual color-keyed power outside mirrors• Covered dashboard storage compartment• Wind deflector• Fabric-trimmed doors with integrated speakers (including tweeters) and map pockets• Dual cup holder• Center console• Dual sun visors• Maplight• Digital quartz clock• Washer-linked intermittent windshield wipers• High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass• Remote hood, engine cover and fuel-filler door releases Toyota's latest venture is the design and development of the MR2 Spyder, which revamps the MR2 sports car that was first introduced on the market in 1985 and discontinued in the US in 1995. After a five-year hiatus, the new MR2 Spyder marked the return of the mid-engine sports car to Toyota's line-up. VVTI DOHC ENGINEThe Toyota vehicle has been fitted with a 1.8-litre double overhead cam (DOHC) 16-valve four-cylinder engine with a VVT-I (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) system. This produces 138bhp at 6,400rpm. It also sustains a torque of 125ft-lbs at 4,400rpm.The VVT-I system is used to improve fuel economy and engine performance as well as reduce exhaust emissions. This system controls the intake camshaft valve timing so as to obtain a balance between engine output, fuel consumption and emission control performance. By varying the cam timing, and thus the valve overlap, the engine can run more cleanly at low revs, boost its torque in the middle and still manage powerful high-rev performance.The engine is positioned near the centre of the chassis. This has the effect of of lowering the centre of gravity, thus improving the handling of the vehicle when cornering at high speed. The vehicle uses a mid-engine drivetrain with rear-wheel drive and five-speed manual transmission.POWER TO WEIGHT RATIOThe new development focused on designing a pure sports car. This first meant that the car had to be light and so a curb weight of 2,195lbs was achieved. From this point, the company was able to focus on power to weight ratio, which would determine the speed and performance of the vehicle. The lighter the car, the better the power to weight ratio will be for a given engine. As car engines are an expensive part of the overall package, lightness has significant benefits.MR2 SUSPENSIONHandling is further improved with the car's specifically designed suspension system. This includes a front independent MacPherson strut and rear independent dual-link MacPherson strut, with damper struts, lower control arms, coil springs and anti-roll bars. Steering is aided using a rack-and-pinion with electro-hydraulic power-assist, which enables a turning circle of 17.4 feet.ABS BRAKESThe vehicle is light but also capable of reaching high speeds. The emphasis was therefore on developing an effective braking system, and the vehicle was fitted with power-assisted ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock brake system (ABS). For maximum grip, the vehicle was fitted with P185/55R15 at the front and P205/50R15 at the back. Brake testing showed that the vehicle could achieve 70–0 mph in 3.26s and a distance of 166.7ft.Fuel consumption in urban areas averages 25mpg, while on the motorway the average consumption rises over 30mpg.SAFETY FEATURESCustomers have demanded a higher standard of safety from all vehicle manufacturers in recent years. The Toyota Spyder is no exception to this. Standard features on the Spyder include: front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones; side-impact door beams; 5mph front and rear bumpers; daytime running lights (DRL); hood hold-down hooks; standard anti-lock brake system (ABS) and a driver and front passenger air bag.Also included is a supplementary restraint system (SRS) with passenger-side cut-off switch, three-point seatbelts with emergency locking retractor (ELR) on driver's belt, automatic/emergency locking retractors (ALR/ELR) on passenger's belt and seatbelt pretensioners with force limiters.Curb weight (manual/sequential manual) (lb.) 2195/2215Passenger volume (cu. ft.) 48.0Cargo volume (cu. ft.) 1.5 (rear)Fuel tank (gal.) 12.7Exterior Dimensions (in.)Overall height 48.8Overall width 66.7Overall length 153.0Wheelbase 96.5Track (front/rear) 58.1/57.5Ground clearance 4.9Coefficient of drag (Cd) 0.35Interior Dimensions (in.)Head room 37.3Shoulder room 51.0Hip room 49.8Leg room 42.2Seating capacity 2 This 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder gets so much attention and thumbs up out on the road!
