    2015 Scion FR-S and tC models are getting bolder and better this summer.

    To begin with the 2015 Scion FR-S, it is known for its outstanding dynamics, which are taken to a new level for the new model year. The updated FR-S features better handling and stability thanks to a more rigid front suspension and re-tuning of the rear shock absorbers. As a result from the improved damping, there is less body roll and a more communicative driving experience.

    Furthermore, for better aerodynamics, the smooth look of a shark-fin antenna replaces the pole antenna. The exhaust tips are enlarged and charmonize perfectly with the rear bumper. The interior of the vehicle features an added auto on/off headlights, an updated interior panel with a carbon fiber look, and a new key design.

    The car has been equipped with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management technology. Exteriorwise, Steel replaces Argento as a sleek silver color and Whiteout has been replaced by Halo pearl white color.

    2015 Scion tC has received and upgraded automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters which enhance the sporty driving experience.

  • 2015 Scion FR-S Special Edition – TRD Upgrades

    Scion is going to exhibit FR-S Special Edition at the 2014 New York Auto Show in few days. It draws on track heritage and the expertise of Toyota Racing Development (TRD). There is a wide array of nice upgrades which will be appreciated by the fans.

    “It’s fitting that the first Scion FR-S Release Series draws on the rich motorsports history that inspired the FR-S design while standing out in new ways that will excite our drivers,” commented Scion Vice President Doug Murtha.

    “FR-S enthusiasts will appreciate the side spoilers and lowered stance that deliver a look and feel meant for the track, at a price meant for them.”, Mr. Murtha added.

    The exterior comes with a Yuzu paint scheme and a custom aerodynamic body kit which will include a rear spoiler and side fender elements. There is also a quad exhaust setup and lowered ride height thanks to the set of sport springs. Other highlights include a Smart Key with Push Button Start. TRD installed a different steering wheel, shift knob, black seats with T-pattern and a unique logo cargo floor mat.

    Last, but not least are the headlights with HID headlamps and LED DRLs (daytime-running lights).

    Of course, each of the 1,500 units of Scion FR-S Special Edition will have an individually numbered plaque and a price of below $30,000.
