Scion FR-S To Get New Variants Every Year

[AutoGuide.com]

The hype surrounding Scion‘s new FR-S may very well be deserved, but it looks like it’s just the beginning for the sports coupe. Project manager Yoshinori Sasaki expressed his hopes for a new variant of the FR-S per year, possibly similar to the existing Release Series that Scion has in place for their other models.

With the goal of making their new sports car loved by many for many years to come, revised FR-S models could be continuously improved upon for quite some time. Of course that all depends on the demand of the FR-S and how well it sells once it’s released. So what are the chances that we’ll get a version of Toyota‘s supercharged GT 86? Probably good, as Sasaki claims that “we will keep up” with whatever Toyota comes out with in Japan and whatever Subaru ends up offering on their BRZ.

It’ll be interesting to see what direction Scion ends up taking with the FR-S in order to attract the right market. Variants that offer more than just styling and interior accessories will go a long way with the enthusiasts. Hopefully brake upgrades, suspension offerings and performance will be made available.

Once this idea actually goes through it will do big for the FR-S, and the GT 86/BRZ if they have the same plans for them.
I have to admit the Scion FR-S, Toyota 86/GT 86 & Subaru BRZ aren't really in their greatest stage. Not much they have going on, just a really basic, entry level sports car and nothing more.

The Lexus LFA got a Nurburgring package, I wonder if we will ever see a FR-S Nurburgring package.

Good points. I agree. This is a basic entry level car for those with tight budgets. Hopefully something with a little more teeth will be coming.

The Super Charged Variant, prob and R Spec, TRD spec and so the list will go on, question is how many special editions will they make!
