The thing that’s always kept me from wanting a hybrid car is that they aren’t all that fast. And the ones that are fast cost too much money. That might change with Toyota’s MR2 Hybrid.

The rumored MR2 Hybrid is said to be built around the Prius design, but would go 0-60 in under 7 seconds and come equipped with paddle shifters. Jalopnik thinks that the engine would be similar to the FT-HS’s 3.5-liter, V6 Hybrized innards from a few of years ago. The price? Supposedly it’s would only be around $24,000. I think I’m starting to get hot flashes. [Auto Express via Jalopnik]
