Scion revealed its FR-S Release Series 1.0 at the
New York International Auto Show today, drawing on track heritage and the
expertise of Toyota Racing Development (TRD).
The FR-S Release Series 1.0 will contain just 1,500
vehicles with a collection of enhanced features, including a custom-designed
aero kit with a rear spoiler and side fender garnish. Additional highlights
include the TRD Quad Tip Exhaust System, TRD lowering springs and Smart Key
with Push Button Start. If all those additions aren’t enough to turn heads, the
bright Yuzu exterior paint color will definitely catch some attention.
The series vehicles will come with either six-speed
manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters
and Dynamic Rev Management® technology. The manufacturer’s suggested retail
price (MSRP) will start under US$ 30,000, excluding the delivery, processing and
handling (DPH) fee of US$ 755.
Each vehicle will feature its sequential release series
badge (1 of 1500) inlayed on its brushed aluminum shifter surround plate. The
cars are expected to arrive in dealerships in August.
