It represents a limited edition of the legendary Toyota MR2 AW11 in the Super Edition version from 1989—the culmination of innovation and sporty aspirations in the first generation of this model.

Historical background: The Toyota MR2 AW11 was the first Japanese sports car with a mid-engine layout. It earned acclaim for its remarkable handling, low weight, and dynamic engine derived from the iconic Corolla AE86. The 1989 Super Edition stood out with its aerodynamic package, dedicated paintwork, and limited availability, making it a highly sought-after classic today.

The Hasegawa 20725 model is intended for intermediate and advanced collectors and modelers (difficulty level: 3/5). As a plastic assembly kit, it requires both precision during assembly and some skill in painting details. The kit not only provides the satisfaction of building but also significantly broadens your collection with a unique vehicle from the history of world automotive engineering.

Hasegawa has ensured attention to detail, making the construction of the Toyota MR2 (AW11) a delight for both collectors and fans of miniature car building.
