The Toyota MR2 still looks like a second-generation MR2 that was one of a many renouned Japanese sports automobile of a 1990s. Nothing most about it has altered it, either. It’s still powered by a mythological 3S-GTE four-cylinder engine. Power is still sent to a dual back wheels pleasantness of a primer transmission. But only as it looks a same, it’s also opposite in one poignant way: it’s make-up a turbocharger a distance of Montana that helps a four-banger engine furnish an implausible 610 horsepower. That’s roughly 80 horsepower some-more than a modern-day McLaren 540C that it’s racing against.

Now, energy isn’t everything, generally in drag races. Technology plays a vicious role, too, privately when it comes to removing off a line quicker and smoother than a opponent. This is where a 540C has a leg-up with a ability to daub into a launch control system. Its 533-horsepower, 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine is also corresponding to a quick-shifting dual-clutch delivery that changes gears distant some-more uniformly than any primer gearbox is able of. So does a McLaren 540C’s modern-day advantages have adequate to lift a British supercar to a finish line opposite a heavily tuned Toyota MR2?

Rory and Carl partook in a array of races and a formula were expected, yet not for a automobile that you’re substantially meditative about now. No spoilers here, though. Watch a video to find out if this juiced-up Toyota MR2 is able of going reversion on a McLaren 540C and all of a modern-day gadgetry.
