THE CAR HAS NO PARK YOU PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULL THE E-BRAKE WHEN YOU WANT TO DRIVE YOU MUST SHIFT EACH GEAR WITH THE STICK OR THE SHIFT BUTTONS ON EACH SIDE OF THE WHEEL. SO THIS CAR IS A 5 SPEED WITH NO CLUTCH, HIS IS THE WAY THEY MAKE ALL OF YOUR NEW SUPER CARS THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUTCH ANYMORE. THIS IS FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE AND YOU CAN NOT RED LINE YOUR ENGINE AND BLOW IT UP PLUS YOU CAN NOT RIDE YOUR CLUTCH OR WEAR IT OUT. ALL I'AM SAYING IS THIS CAR IS A BLAST TO DRIVE AND THEY ARE GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS WITH LOW MILES. HERE ARE THE FACTS ABOUT THE CAR.

The Toyota MR2 Spyder has a powerful all-aluminum 1.8-liter 16-valve VVT-I engine, ounted midship for balance and handling usually reserved for the racetrack. The similarity between the MR2 Spyder and race cars doesn't stop there: there's also an available 6-speed sequential manual transmission. And an ultra-rigid yet supremely lightweight chassis, hich helps give the MR2 Spyder its remarkable power-to-weight ratio. Think about it. Now that you're an adult, here's endless asphalt to enjoy. Which may explain why you couldn't wait to grow up.

The moment you get behind the wheel of the MR2 Spyder you start to feel different. The available 6-speed sequential manual transmission is one reason you're feeling so energized.

This race-derived feature eliminates the need for a clutch pedal. And then there's the MR2 Spyder's perfectly balanced mid-engine layout—no back seat, o back-seat drivers. And the drilled aluminum sport pedals.

Toyota's latest venture is the design and development of the MR2 Spyder, hich revamps the MR2 sports car that was first introduced on the market in 1985 and discontinued in the US in 1995. After a five-year hiatus, he new MR2 Spyder marked the return of the mid-engine sports car to Toyota's line-up.

VVTI DOHC ENGINE

The Toyota vehicle has been fitted with a 1.8-litre double overhead cam (DOHC) 16-valve four-cylinder engine with a VVT-I (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) system. This produces 138bhp at 6,400rpm. It also sustains a torque of 125ft-lbs at 4,400rpm.

The VVT-I system is used to improve fuel economy and engine performance as well as reduce exhaust emissions. This system controls the intake camshaft valve timing so as to obtain a balance between engine output, uel consumption and emission control performance. By varying the cam timing, nd thus the valve overlap, he engine can run more cleanly at low revs, oost its torque in the middle and still manage powerful high-rev performance.

The engine is positioned near the centre of the chassis. This has the effect of of lowering the centre of gravity, hus improving the handling of the vehicle when cornering at high speed. The vehicle uses a mid-engine drivetrain with rear-wheel drive and five-speed manual transmission.

POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO

The new development focused on designing a pure sports car. This first meant that the car had to be light and so a curb weight of 2,195lbs was achieved. From this point, he company was able to focus on power to weight ratio, hich would determine the speed and performance of the vehicle. The lighter the car, he better the power to weight ratio will be for a given engine. As car engines are an expensive part of the overall package, ightness has significant benefits.

MR2 SUSPENSION

Handling is further improved with the car's specifically designed suspension system. This includes a front independent MacPherson strut and rear independent dual-link MacPherson strut, ith damper struts, ower control arms, oil springs and anti-roll bars. Steering is aided using a rack-and-pinion with electro-hydraulic power-assist, hich enables a turning circle of 17.4 feet.

ABS BRAKES

The vehicle is light but also capable of reaching high speeds. The emphasis was therefore on developing an effective braking system, nd the vehicle was fitted with power-assisted ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock brake system (ABS). For maximum grip, he vehicle was fitted with P185/55R15 at the front and P205/50R15 at the back. Brake testing showed that the vehicle could achieve 70–0 mph in 3.26s and a distance of 166.7ft.

Fuel consumption in urban areas averages 25mpg, hile on the motorway the average consumption rises over 30mpg.

SAFETY FEATURES

Customers have demanded a higher standard of safety from all vehicle manufacturers in recent years. The Toyota Spyder is no exception to this. Standard features on the Spyder include: front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones; side-impact door beams; 5mph front and rear bumpers; daytime running lights (DRL); hood hold-down hooks; standard anti-lock brake system (ABS) and a driver and front passenger air bag.

Also included is a supplementary restraint system (SRS) with passenger-side cut-off switch, hree-point seatbelts with emergency locking retractor (ELR) on driver's belt, utomatic/emergency locking retractors (ALR/ELR) on passenger's belt and seatbelt pretensioners with force limiters.
