GT4 1986 Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited Supercharger

Here is a 1986 Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited Supercharger as featured in Gran Turismo 4 and photographed by myself.


Wearing a coat of Super White and located in Gion, Kyoto, a photo travel location in GT4 (and in GT5 but a different one). 


Gion, Kyoto, is famous for its narrow roads - a traditional Kyoto town layout.


I'll confess I did a bit of post PS2 processing, and GT4 pictures allow you to do it, mainly I lighted them up some as they were too dark to my taste, even if supposedly shot in the evening or at dawn.


"The Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited Supercharger '86 is a road car produced by Toyota. It first appears in Gran Turismo 2. It is essentially the Toyota MR2 1600 G with an aftermarket supercharger".


Here is my review:

I bought this car on purpose - to win the MR Challenge at the Beginners' Hall in GT4 and it's one of the tougher challenges in the game and NOT only in the Beginners' Hall. I did win the challenge but only after multiple upgrades - in fact, by upgrading everything as regards the engine minus the turbo which became unavailable once I started going through the engine upgrade stages (maybe I should have started with the turbo), and I did add even nitro.

Even after these upgrades I wasn't able to win the challenge straight away as the car became hard to brake and turn. So I went and upgraded even the brakes - something I otherwise never do as I am under the impression that generally it's a waste of money (credits) and doesn't do anything. But in the case of this MR2 it definitely worked, improved my cornering, kept me away from the barriers and eventually enabled me to beat the  MR Challenge, thank you very much. 

A fast car but becomes somewhat wallow-y at speed for some reason.
