Ever since the Toyota GT-86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ triplets have been announced to the car world, enthusiasts have complained about their lack of power. Gazoo Racing or GRNM (Gazoo Racing Masters of Nürburgring) have taken this into account since the three automotive manufacturer’s appear to not be doing anything about it. Gazoo has now released this Toyota GT86 called the Sports FR, and it carries both a supercharger and turbocharger. Say what?!
With the upcoming market launch for the Scion FR-S approaching quickly, tuners such as Five Axis are not wasting any time. They have worked out a deal with the affordable car manufacturer to produce a new styling package that will be sold throughout Scion dealerships nationwide. This brand new aero kit was inspired by the previous Scion FR-S concept. Check out all the features and a quick teaser video after the jump.
While Toyota is finishing up the FT-86 for production, their Scion brand of cars has released the concept of the new FR-S. Looking pretty good, the car was initially displayed at the New York International Auto Show in April, and now Ken Gushi talks about the styling to bring more hype. He currently drifts a Scion TC in Japan, but as you can tell in the video he will be ditching that car if the Scion FR-S concept goes into production. The second video has the Vice President of Scion, Jack Hollis sounding extremely excited to launch the Scion FR-S. Hit the jump to see the videos and judge for yourself if the Scion FR-S is going to be a hit or miss.
At the New York International Auto Show, Scion released a Five Axis exclusive styling package for the 2011 Scion tC. Showcasing the unlimited possibilities available on the aftermarket, the high-end Five Axis Scion tC looks bold with an aggressive appeal. This incredible street look was achieved with a wide body conversion kit adding four inches to both sides, and a unique House of Color custom paint job in Bloodshot red. Furthermore, the custom Scion rides on Tein adjustable coilovers, a TRD big brake kit, and large 20-inch five AD R5:F design alloy wheels wrapped in Yokahama Advan Sport high performance tires.
Do you remember the Ken Block videos drifting his Subaru STi for DC Shoes, and recently acquiring a new Ford Fiesta for the snow drift scene? Well now there is a new competitor on the block, Tanner Foust, in his race built Scion TC. Why they chose a Scion TC for the drift track? Beats me, but it does look good from the exterior, and is definitely spewing out clouds of smoke from the rear wheels. At least it’s not a boxy Scion xB or tiny Scion xA. Right now we just have a teaser video, however a ton of pictures from AutoBlog. They recently announced a new drift series coming in March, which will feature prospect Tanner Foust and his Scion TC taking on the dangerous road, Mulholland Drive in California.
