Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the City[]
The MR2 appears in Need for Speed: Carbon - Own The City, where it is fully customisable and usable in the game's career mode. The player can already use an MR2 in their first race in the career mode before purchasing their starter car.
The MR2 is later unlocked upon defeating Poorboy in the PlayStation Portable release or Arjen in the Nintendo DS release. It is driven by Layla 2, one of the unlockable wingmen, and Sara at the start of the game.
Need for Speed: World[]
The MR2 was made available in Need for Speed: World on January 13, 2012 as a tier 1 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a D class car.
The MR2 is considered as one of the fastest C class cars in the game due to an above average nitrous boost and low weight. This allows it to have a sharp steering feedback and overtake heavier cars with better acceleration. The MR2's acceleration is typical for C class, but does feel somewhat lacking in B class. Top speed is 165 mph (266 km/h).
