The
MR-2 Mk3, designated ZZW30 took over from the decade-old Mk2
MR2 in 1999. The new MR2 was lighter than the previous car and
was also significantly smaller than the outgoing model. The
biggest change was, however, the replacement of the solid, T-Top,
and sunroof roof options with a true convertible soft top, giving
the car the 'Spyder' designation.
Chief engineer of the MR2 Spyder said of the car, "First,
we wanted true driver enjoyment, blending good movement, low
inertia and light weight. Then, a long wheelbase to achieve
high stability and fresh new styling; a mid-engine design to
create excellent handling and steering without the weight of
the engine up front; a body structure as simple as possible
to allow for easy customizing, and low cost to the consumer."
In Japan, the Mk3 Toyota MR2 is called the MR-S.
