Though it doesn’t have the same racing history at
the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb as other automakers, Scion is bent on
making a mark at this year’s race. The Japanese automaker has
introduced the car that will compete against the heavyweights of the Unlimited
Class: an Evasive Motorsports-prepared Scion FR-S that looks the part of a giant killer.
Prepared and developed to the unique racing
specifications needed to compete at Pikes Peak, the FR-S comes with a bevy of
aerodynamic components, highlighted by that enormous rear wing that should come
in handy when the FR-S is trying to keep its wheels on the ground.
A large front wing was also installed on the car, as
well as what looks like an equally large rear diffuser, both serving the same
aerodynamic purpose of eliminating aerodynamic lift to allow the FR-S to
maintain its speed as it attempts to give all the other competitors of the
Unlimited Class a run for their money.
No power details were given but considering the kind
of cars that are competing in this class, we wouldn’t be surprised if this
high-powered FR-S has over 650 horsepower under its hood. That is quite a
healthy increase over the stock 200 horsepower, but still very much attainable.
