This week in Britain is all about JDM legends. It starts with dual Toyota MR2 action as the 1995 Toyota MR2 GT and the 1989 Toyota MR2 SC are both up for grabs in the Autumn season of the Series 69 Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 4.
The 1995 MR2 GT is especially prized by collectors as the last MR2 of its kind. Mounted behind its seats is a 2.0-liter, 241-horsepower engine with a five-speed gearbox. Such incredible numbers put it on equal footing with cars like the Ferrari 348. In 1995, the MR2 ended its production run due to rising prices and insurance premiums.
The MR2 name has built a following that has endured over the years. MR2 stands for “Mid-engined Runabout 2-Seater,” while in the U.S. it is known as “mid-engine rear-wheel-drive two-seater.”
As for the 1989 MR2 SC, the SC stands for “super-charged” because of its Roots-type supercharger that used an electromagnetic clutch to adapt usage based on power demands. This 1.6-liter, 145-horsepower car is a hero in road racing, so get it turned up in the Autoshow and show your opponents what it’s made of.
It’s an exciting week for Toyota fans as their most successful homologated rally car, the 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185 is also unlockable, as well as the iconic rear-wheel drive 2010 Lexus LFA, a car that redefined Lexus and evolved their otherwise luxury performance vehicles to the realm of supercar with 552 powerful horses, innovative technology for its time and a truly impeccable exhaust note that will forever make it stand out amongst its sea of competitors.
The unlock requirement for each of these must have car rewards can be found below:
