Toyota MR-S VM180 Zagato specs

The headlights do look like the eyes of a spider. Maybe it could be called a Spyder? Oh yeah, it is. I do like it, quite exotic looking.

@ Viking: I've got it! The headlights look like the eyes of a spider and the air dam looks like the mouth of a whale shark. I like the car, but it looks so weird.

Oooh, I've already forgotten Zagato ever coachbuilt Toyota MR2! 10 years ago it was something spectacular.

This car was all about the design. Yeah, it looks like an alien-MR2. Not what I call beautiful, but very unique. Everything Zagato is touching gets stunning but absolutely enigmatic metamorphosis, and this Toyota is not an exception.

Thank you, Viking, for revising my memory.

@Shaggy yep it is pretty weird looking! Looks like a concept, or show car, but I have seen plenty of pictures of cars on Japanese streets with license plates on them. Very exotic looking, yet weird, kinda a family trait for the Zagato styling house.

@ Viking: Oh, good, pictures, Holy Crap, this car looks weird! I usually can think of some goofy analogy for a strange looking car, but this one has me stumped!

Thanks CoolShirtGuy!

@Viking
Got ya' covered.

@Super8, Mental, Apathy, or anyone else who can add a picture; I would appreciate if you added a good picture of this exotic looking Zagato styled car. Thanks.

I used to know how to add a picture, but I forgot. Maybe I drink too much wine, and beer. Maybe Super8, Mental, or Apathy can do it.

The most extensive group of pictures that I have found so far are here: http://fabwheelsdigest.blogspot.com/2013/04/2001-zagato-toyota-mr2-vm180.html

@ Viking: I've never even added a car because I don't know how to add a picture.

@Shaggy I agree. These cars have excellent off the line traction due to the 55 percent rear weight balance. Yeah, it would be cool to have one of these if they were sold in the U.S., the Zagato styling makes it look very exotic (albeit strange). Do you know how to add a picture?

Wow, for once I seem to have added a car without any obvious mistakes. Yeah!

@ Viking: I'll bet the acceleration is impressive, with that kind of power to weight ratio, it should get off the line in a hurry, too bad it was never sold in the U.S.

@Shaggy yeah, basically it is a normal 1ZZ engine with some intake and exhaust modifications. I am not sure how to upload a picture, but it is kinda unusual looking. Most Zagato styled cars look strange to me.

@ Viking: 155 horsepower, pretty impressive for what it is.

I was looking around at Toyota MR-S stuff, and found out about this Zagato designed model. According to the sources I looked at Toyota sold about 150 of these. Super8 could you confirm my info, and maybe add a good picture for this fairly rare car?
