The Toyota MR2 Spyder is a two-seat, open-top roadster sports car manufactured by Toyota. It was introduced in 2000 as the third generation of the Toyota MR2 line and was available in the Japanese and US markets until production ended in 2005. The MR2 Spyder was powered by a 1.8 liter, four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The MR2 Spyder was noted for its sharp handling, light weight, and excellent power-to-weight ratio. It also featured a removable hard top and optional detachable roll bar.
