Earlier this year, Toyota confirmed plans to develop a new mid-engine sports car. It’s expected to be the spiritual successor to the MR2, the two-seater Toyota sold from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, and when it does arrive, it will have all-wheel drive.
In an interview with Auto Express, Naohiko Saito, Toyota GR’s chief engineer, revealed that the company’s initial testing uncovered "that the combination of an all-wheel drive mid-ship layout offers the best layout for high-performance driving."
