In-game description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
The MR2, which made its debut in 1984 as Japan's first car to feature a midship layout, evolved into the 2nd generation SW20 as a result of a full model change in 1989. At the time of its debut, fears were raised about dangers resulting from insufficient stiffness in the chassis etc., and there were repeated minor changes down the years: producing the version II in December 1992, the version III in October 1994, and the version IV in June 1996, with the current version being produced as a true pure sports model. The current version line-up can be divided roughly into 2 types according to the type of engine fitted. On the one hand there is the NA 2.0 litre in-line 4-cylinder DOHC engine generating 180 ps / 19.5 kgm. Then on the other hand we have the 2.0 litre in-line 4-cylinder DOHC turbo generating 245 ps / 31.0 kgm. In the suspension, struts are used on both front and rear wheels. However, Bilstein shocks are fitted as standard in the GT series. The ride of the turbo-engined GT-S can be summed up in one word: amazing! There is quite a strong feeling of acceleration from the engine which packs a surprising amount of power for this class of car. Moreover, with high traction performance from the midship configuration, good steering and direct response handling, the driver can enjoy a high level of cornering performance. Of course, the stability is also very good. However, in order to operate this car, an equivalent high level of technique is demanded from the driver. If the driver has no technical prowess, this can become a dangerous car to drive. Furthermore, although the naturally-aspirated G-Limited model does not have the acceleration power of the turbo, as the chassis performance and engine power are well matched and there is a good balance between the two, it is possible to get a more comfortable ride than from the turbo model. Taking this into account, if the full potential of this is realised, this is by no means a slow car. In the 2.0 litre displacement class, the high level of actual performance works to push it up one class higher.
