The Speedhunters’ entry for the Scion Tuner Challenge 2014 is a track day level racer that finds its inspiration of the early IMSA race days and the rise of Japanese racers in the United States. This Scion FR-S is a special blend of the fashionably cool from the tastemakers of Japan and unique customization that’s both a specialty and rarity in the US.
