AutoExec Summary
Japanese car giant Toyota has introduced a new family of petrol four-cylinder engines that are smaller, more efficient, and more powerful. These engines could potentially be used in upcoming sports cars. The engines were showcased in a video posted by Toyota Times, with options for 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre displacements, with the larger engine only available with a turbo. Rumors suggest that the Celica and MR2 sports cars may be equipped with these new engines. Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda hinted at a possible Celica revival, expressing his fondness for the nameplate. The MR2 is also rumored to be in development, potentially marking Toyota’s final non-hybrid, petrol-powered performance car.
