Does the scion fr-s drift? Yes!

It's official, the Scion FR-S can drift. Formula Drift driver, Ken Gushi, made a short trip to Japan to test out his future drift car.

He also had his far share of fast laps in the Toyota 86.

Our very own Dino Dalle Carbonare was yet again behind the wheel of the Japanese version, and also hung it sideways as well. Dino is seen here driving the automatic version, which he said was surprisingly impressive. A detailed analyis is coming your way shortly from Dino.

I'm currently at the airport bound for LA, but I'll be preparing a behind the scenes post on my short 30 hour trip to Japan.

this is sick!! just the info i was looking for on the FR-S drifting capabilities.

Any video's from this FR-S drift session? Would love to see how crazy the FR-S can get with drifting out of the box although I can't expect too much.

Should feel similar to the AE86. Similar weight distribution.

Actually, the word going around is that Toyota didn't allow anyone to do any drifting, but Ken got bored with going around the track numerous of times without drifting and out of no where he just let loose.

Ken Gushi FTW! Epic drifter
