1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. HARDTOP! Red, 5-speed, 78K Original miles. 2nd owner. PERFECT Condition! Tan Leather Interior.

Hello,
I am selling my prized 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. This is the hardtop the RAREST body style that the MR2 came in since most MR2's came with either a sunroof or T-Tops. (Both known to seriously leak over time.) The MR2 hardtop version is structurally stronger and lighter than the sunroof/T-top MR2's and this being the factory turbo this version is also the fastest. Car and Driver rated the Toyota MR2 as a future collectible: Car & Driver 90's Collectibles (Part 2) see article here: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/nineties-collectibles-part-two-toyota-mr2-turbo-and-ford-mustang-cobra How rare is this car? Most MR2 forums estimate that they only imported about 200 hardtops into the U.S. although no official records have been shown. The reason is that most Americans didn't want a hardcore track version of the car opting for the open air feeling of the T-top or sunroof. Out of 200 hardtops it is estimated that half were non-turbo. That drops the numbers down to about 100 officially imported Hardtop Turbos to come to the U.S. Of those 100 subtract the amount that have broken down, been Fast & Furious-ed out, wrapped around a tree, have high miles (Less than 8% of Mr2's have less than 100K miles on the Odo. That was the percentage listed by MR2 Board on 10/14/2007. After 6 years that number is probably a lot lower now.) or finally come in a weird color for a sports color like teal. This gives you an idea of just HOW RARE this particular example really is. Because of the car's rare numbers it was able to be registered as a classic through Hagerty Classic Car Insurance.

Car's History:
The car came in the U.S through a Toyota Mississippi dealership , transferred to Louisiana dealership where the original owner bought the car new off the showroom floor. He moved to Atlanta where the car stayed with him for twenty years in his garage. being used it as his weekend toy. He bought a farm in North Carolina and decided to sell the MR2. I bought the car with 72K miles on the odo, took it to Alabama where I kept it for over a year. I then moved to Atlanta where the car has been for the past year and a half. The car is still registered as an Alabama vehicle. It currently has 78K miles.

Why am I'm selling the car?... Old story. Need to sell the car for a down payment on a house. Asking 17K. If I can't get enough for a down payment. I'm keeping the car.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.

Toyota follows Tesla, makes hydrogen patents open source

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Back in June, Tesla said All Our Patents Are Belong to You as it released its electric vehicle patents to the world. CEO Elon Musk said at the time that patents, "serve merely to stifle progress, entrench the positions of giant corporations and enrich those in the legal profession." Despite some disagreement on which gasoline alternative (electricity or hydrogen) will power the automotive future, it looks like the folks over at Toyota like the idea of making advanced technology easier for others to get their hands on. Last summer, Tesla said that it would, "not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology." In an announcement today at CES, Toyota said it would let "automakers who will produce and sell fuel cell vehicles, as well as ... fuel cell parts suppliers and energy companies who establish and operate fueling stations" get free access to 5,680 fuel cell related patents around the world. That means if you're interested in building your own Mirai H2 car, you can now get some of the instructions. There's a catch, though, in that Toyota's H2 vehicle patents will only be free, "through the initial market introduction period, anticipated to last until 2020." Patents about making and selling hydrogen will be free "for an unlimited duration." Toyota's Senior VP of Automotive Operations, Bob Carter, said that, "At Toyota, we believe that when good ideas are shared, great things can happen. ... By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically." Toyota generates a lot of patents each year – 1,491 in 2012 in the US alone, for example – but it did not see fit to make them all open to competitors. While we don't know for sure how many automakers have decided to use Tesla's patents since they were made public, but it appears that interest in the technology is muted. We'll have to wait and see how the industry reacts to the influx of H2 information. We hope this will be one of the topics Musk addresses in his Reddit AMA later today. Toyota Opens the Door and Invites the Industry to the Hydrogen Future More than 5,600 fuel cell and related patents available for royalty free use Patents include industry leading fuel cell technology used in new Toyota Mirai January 05, 2015 2015 CES - TMS SVP Bob Carter's speech LAS VEGAS, (Jan.

Toyota Prius sales could come up short in 2013

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

A Toyota executive has said that the automaker's hybrid Prius model may not reach its 2013 goal of selling 250,000 units in the US marketplace. Bill Fay, group vice president for Toyota's US sales, told Reuters, "The 240,000 to 250,000 range is kind of where we're settling our sights for the Prius family."
The first-generation Prius, a five-passenger model, was introduced to the States in 2001 (its arrival made it the second mass-produced hybrid, after the two-seat Honda Insight). The second-generation model arrived in 2004, followed by the current third-generation design that arrived for the 2010 model year. The automaker has subsequently added the Prius V, a hatchback wagon (shown above) and the Prius C, a subcompact hatchback. As of March, 2013, cumulative worldwide sales of the Prius had reached 3.67 million units.
Last year, Toyota sold 236,659 Prius models in the US. However, sales of the model have fallen 5.1 percent in the first six months of 2013. In response, the automaker has boosted its marketing for the model, and the promotions are expected to continue through at least July.
