Spy Shots: Scion FR-S - Click above for high-res image gallery
We've been waiting, rather patiently we might add, for Toyota (http://autoblog.com/make/toyota) to bring out its latest sports car for what seems like millenniums. This new coupe will be wearing a Scion (http://autoblog.com/make/scion) badge and go by the name FR-S (http://autoblog.com/tag/fr-s), which stands for "front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport." It's the "R" and "S" that has enthusiasts eager to lay eyes on this Scion in the flesh. A concept version was trotted out at the 2011 New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/20/new-york-2011-scion-fr-s-concept-is-friggin-really-sweet/), but spy photographers managed to capture a camo-covered development mule adding "Germany" to the stamps in its passport book.
What specific area of Germany, you ask? Just a little town called Nürburg, which is home to a slice of asphalt you may have heard of before. This means Toyota engineers are fine-tuning the sports car, and the Nürburgring (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nurburgring) is sure to provide lots of data points for them to dissect. Data points make engineers happy, and happy engineers make fun-to-drive cars.
Looking over the pics, it appears those engineers have ditched the concept's rear diffuser but added in a rear spoiler. We can't wait to see what else is in store once that swirls come off.
