Scion has unveiled its Scion Racing/GReddy FR-S race car during a press conference at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. Dubbed by some as the American version of the Toyota GT 86, The FR-S will be competing in the 2012 Formula DRIFT series with veteran driver Ken Gushi behind the wheel. The 600-horsepower race car is the result of a collaboration between Scion Racing and GReddy, a performance-products company that has been involved with Toyota and racing for over twenty years. The result is an authentic rear-wheel-drive sports car with exceptionally balanced performance and handling, compelling style, flexible utility and surprising MPG.
