Smile MR360 is up and running :)

MR-360 is now up and running. It is a kit car, built onto the 2000+ toyota MR2/MR-S chassis. The kits are VERY easy to build (on average takes 100 man hours, with no prior experience required and no special tools). The demo's are being built, and will be at all the kit car/ BIG car enthusiast shows. If you are into kit cars or a true enthusiast check out our website for more in formation:

MR360

Yes the car in the pictures IS the kit, not the real car. For information check out the site and feel free to send an email.

My dad owns the business. the original company is in london, and he has the rights to market it over here. you can have one complete for around 11 thousdand if you already have the car, or turn-keys start at just about 30 thousand. not bad considering its a unique car, with the reliability of a toyota. plus you can swap in the lotus elise engine pretty easily, or the turbo 3SGTE. Two are being built as of now. But they are VERY easy to put together yourself in your garage. An average kit car takes in the area of 300-400 man hours, with experience. This is a bolt on kit (remove the panels, bolt on the supports, bolt the panels to the supports) making this ideal for beginners or advanced skilled people.

Thanks for the kind words and all the support. As of now were the only people in the US offering a 360 kit, we will soon have a diablo built onto the 91-98 styles of the MR2, and possibly a F355 kit but those are still under development. I have a Car and Driver from the early 90's where they compared the F355 to the turbocharged MR2, and the MR2 out-cornered, out handled, and out accelerated the F355, overall rated the better car. So with the light weight performance, reliability, and cheap price (not bad considering the kit is the same price in sterling which is 2 to 1 conversion right now), it is a great/fun car to have. I can't wait to get mine and hit the beaches
