T-Top Classic: 1989 Toyota MR2

Toyota’s first-generation MR2, known internally as the AW11, is one of the most interesting and beloved cars to come out of Japan in the 1980s. It debuted in 1984 and ran through 1989, built around a very simple idea: put a light, rev-happy engine in the middle of a small, rigid chassis and let physics do the rest. At around 2400 pounds, the AW11 didn’t need big power to feel alive. Its 4A-GE engine—shared with the Corolla GT-S—was famous for its willingness to scream to redline and for being borderline unkillable if maintained.
