Not at first, a "300hp" version might come later.

hummm... the max i would pay for the FRS would be $22K for the base, maybe $25K if they offer a sport model.

200hp would actually be plenty for me as a dd especially if it runs on regular.

Scion FR-S: All the specs
official spec release...


and a teaser of the Suburu version..

It looks like the Subaru version will be the one to wait on. If that rendering holds any accuracy.

more official renderings... if the production looks even sort of similar... much better than the toyota version


but you can already imagine what it will lose... the lower front diffuser probably those LEDs ...obviously the mirrors.... but alteast it has a a rear spoiler...as i said the toyota version really needs one...

and i couldnt see buying brand wise a scion over a subaru anyway


although is sort of looks like a flattened out RX8 in the front to me

looks like it took a bit of ques from the GTR...

still though 200hp and 151tq is making the car god cry

It would be insane for Subaru not to come out with a turbo version the following year or so. they got turbo's just laying around the shop for this engine! :D

so it this considered a poorman's Z?

isamu-thanks for the specs link. i wonder if both trims get the same brakes or not. that would be the deciding factor for me if getting the base or the higher trim. if both are the same cheezy brakes i'll take the base and work my way up with aftermarket bits. i dont care about the wheels, stereo, etc. those will be replaced anyway. im happy to read MT will get limited slip even on base. :)

not really, considering the price point and weight

yah, actually 200hp and lighter weight is a great combo for me. it reminds me of an old prelude i had (Gen5 98). :icon17: and it eating regular unleaded is a plus.

it looks ok.. my own photochops make it look better imho..
not a fan of the fenders

Agreed. Performance-wise, I betting very close to an RX-8 in acceleration and handling. Not bad at all for the price. Now if subaru drops in turbos and adds about $5000....watch out!

yah, the price point needs to be $22K for the base to make sense. otherwise i would just spend another $15K or so and get a nicer car all together and call it a day.

I wouldn't be surprised if these bad boys will be hitting 10's in a shorter period of time it took for the 5.0s

at 25k with how much potential these are going to have.. this is going to be the new boy racer car, but it will make a killer DD
