Scion FR-S Video: First Look at the Latest and Best Looking FT-86

[AutoGuide.com]

When Toyota's FT-86 finally makes it to market in North America next year it will wear a Scion badge. Revealed at the New York Auto Show, the FR-S Concept is the latest rendition of the front-engine rear-drive sports car that enthusiasts have been clamoring for since they first saw the FT-86 almost two years ago.

Scion didn't give much in the way of new info, reiterating that it would use a Subaru boxer 4-cylinder that would allow for a lower center of gravity and better weight balance. That engine will also be fitted with a Toyota-designed direct-injection system. Plus, it will get a limited slip differential.

Plenty can still change between now and the production car's likely debut at the NY Auto Show next year. We just hope they leave the bodywork mostly unchanged.

Like this concept better than the last one (the II), but the first one looked more production ready. Still waiting for the REAL car.

I agree it's better than the last one, but not as good as the first. This one looks like a mazda, and if it's officially a Scion, I'm officially going to get a Subaru, it's their motor anyways (or an S2000 if I can find one).
