Toyota MR2 SW20 Turbo
The second-generation MR2 grew up into a genuine supercar rival — the turbocharged SW20 with 245 hp, a mid-mounted 3S-GTE engine, and Porsche 944-width body proved Japan could build a world-class mid-engine sports car. Handling nuances earned it the nickname "The Widow Maker" at the limit.
