Weighing in at 2.0 liters, this powerplant is more compact and lightweight compared to Toyota\u2019s present offerings, largely due to a reduced piston stroke which aids in offsetting the additional mass from incorporating hybrid technology components.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n Although Toyota has not revealed much information regarding the engine,<br \/>\n Autocar<br \/>\n proposes that the updated four-cylinder engine might generate approximately 400 horsepower for street use. Currently, the 2.4-liter horizontally-opposed four-cylinder in the GR86 delivers 228 hp, whereas the turbocharged 1.6-liter triple in the GR Corolla offers 300 horsepower. This hybrid system will similarly be employed in Toyota\u2019s racing endeavors.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1ARCPY\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1ARCPY.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n The mid-engine GR Yaris could potentially lead to a sports car with the engine positioned between the wheels.<br \/>\n Speculations regarding the comeback of the MR2 designation<br \/>\n have gained momentum over the last year.
