Im with you on the fact that everything on the rendered TRD FR-S looks lovely, but...this as a production model, i think not! Not everyone will like the look. (e.x. too simple for ricers :P )
A toned down version of the FR-S concept will be what everyone can like. however a special edition TRD FR-S that looks like this would be a good idea .
this should release a version like this in limited numbers!
or offer a styling package like this as well. I think if they did offer such styling packages the car would sky rocket and sell extremely well!
What is with the love of canards, rubber-band tires and microscopic mirrors?
Whenever I see "rendered" versions of concepts, they always have this sort of nonsense and it totally ruins the idea.
Can't someone Photochop a version that actually looks like something a non-retard would actually drive? (On the street and/or road-course?)
BTW - I am NOT knocking the talent of the artist in question - the work is quite nice. And, in fact, many of the conceptual artists at the OEMs do this sort of nonsense in their drawings. I just don't get it.
Certainly enough people have actually driven hell-flushed and slammed cars to know they are rubbish.

Haha.... canards, rubber-band tires, hellaflush fitment is whats in for 2010-2011. I guess the artist is trying to keep up with the trends and throw in some uniqueness to the design.
I wish i knew photoshop so I could do my own design that would look a lot like a possible production model TRD FR-S. I think there's a forum specifically on photoshopping cars, you can try requesting a photochoped TRD FR-S from them and post it here!
More like 2009. lol
Even then, no one actually drives a car like that.
Or, I should say, no one that isn't a complete "ricer" with no aspirations of really driving the car would.
The first time you take a hellastupid car on a real road at speed on 30-series tires and hit even a small variation in the surface and watch $3k in wheels and tires evaporate in a cloud of dust as you drag the bottom of the car on the asphalt will put the kabosh on that!
I wont even comment on what would happen if you showed up at a NASA or SCCA event like that...
I love it, well not nesically There is functional fitment on cars that people drive around with canards wings front diffusor and they can drive them hard without breaking things.
As i can vouch for this car being able to corner as well and drift cars drift on stretched rubber as well. Just because you think its stupid and 90% of the people dont know how to set up a proper car dont hate the style understand it first.
yes he street drives this car.
thats a nice car, looks functional too...
I guess once you find a medium between going for the craziest possible fitment and function you can have the best of both worlds.
With the right amount of money, time and knowledge i don't see why any car can't get away with that styling yet still be able to function.
The last picture makes it looks kinda like a remote control car xD..
Agree, now that I look it, it's so good it doesn't even look real!
Staying back on topic with the FR-S discussion, a real life HellaFlush FR-S will look stunning to say the least. Here's some HellaFlush FR-S pictures to give you an idea:
FYI, the white hellaflush FR-S looks all too real, amazing photochop

There are different kinds of hellflush really. There is the hellaflush where the lip on the rim can actually touch the fender.. Thats STUPID. Then there are guys who try to fit wide rims and wide tires under the fender buy modifying it. That isnt as stupid as long as u know ur clearance and make it so that u dont rub under hard cornering. Now if you fit a 215 tire on a 9 inch rim.. Thats improper fitment and slightly dangerous. A slight stretch isnt a terrible idea. Sometimes its required to fit the rim under the fender. BMWs and Benz stretch their stock tires a bit. Even the stock Si civic has slightly stretched tires on the OEM rims.
