Scion tC Series 10.0
Before making its final
transition to Toyota, Scion will present its last new model at the 2016 New
York Auto Show.
It's called the 'tC Release
Series 10.0' and it was developed in a partnership with tuner Kei Miura. The vehicle
is finished in Barcelona Red and is equipped with a Kei Miura-designed Aero Kit
that consists of a front lip spoiler, rocker panels, rear lower spoiler and
deck spoiler. Contributing to its look are the new alloy wheels, finished in
gloss black, and the RS 10.0 black-out Scion badges.
Changes continue with the
TRD performance lowering springs, which reduce the center of gravity, enhancing
steering response, and the dual exhaust, providing a more resonant and deeper
sound.
The same black and red theme
is found inside, where the manufacturer added red contrast stitching on the
seat inserts, parking brake lever, steering wheel and shift boot, joined by
exclusive Release Series carpeted floor and cargo mats, red seatbelts and a
numbered badge.
Only 1,200 RS 10.0 tC Coupes
are planned, priced at US$ 23,190 (plus a US$ 795 delivery and handling fee), for the
6-speed manual, and at US$ 24,340 for the 6-speed sequential automatic model.
Besides the special edition
tC, Scion will also display, at New York, the 2002 BBx Concept, 2004 FiveAxis
speedster xA, 2009 Kogi BBQ Truck xD, 2009 iQ Concept, 2011 FR-S Concept and
2014 Slayer tC.
