Scion FR-S Redefines Sex Appeal [2011 NYAS]

[AutoGuide.com]

Easily the most anticipated debut of the 2011 New York Auto Show, Scion has just released its new FR-S Concept, based on the Toyota FT-86.

Powered by a boxer 4-cylinder donated by Subaru, but using a Toyota direct-injection system Scion is promising sufficient power with "surprising" fuel economy.

Described by Scion boss Jack Hollis as the perfect car for weekend warriors, auto-crossers, drifters and track junkies, the FR-S promises an even mixture of balance, managable power and light weight. Helping keep in control of the package, the FR-S concept does come equipped with a limited slip differential.

Based on the Toyota FT-86 II Concept, the Scion model does away with some of that cars more extravagant design features to find a perfect medium between it and the original FT-86.

Toyota's version of the car is expected to be unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Show this Fall and Scion will deliver a production version of the FR-S to dealers next year!

Since it's coming out as a Scion, I wonder if they will keep the base 4 cyl standard and do a TRD turbo option much like the supercharger for the tC. It would allow them to keep the base price lower and still get the juice to those of us that crave it. This could also help differentiate if Subie only does a turbo option.

This car is sex period its amazing how the lines flow and how every line of the car just flows together


But i hope scion doesn't make too many changes from this to the production model!
