Toyota has unveiled a new concept based on the third generation MR2 named the MR-S (ZZW30). Although the MR2 finished up in Japan in 2007, Toyota and its partners at Gazoo decided to bring back the MR-S by fitting a 3.3-litre V6 where the old 1.8-liter four-cylinder used to live and an electric motor mated to Toyota's THSII hybrid system for the front wheels. This makes the MR2 Sports Hybrid Concept all-wheel drive, and between the two powerplants, it puts out about 295kW through a CVT gearbox.
