The Scion (http://autoblog.com/scion) team is still giddy about the FR-S (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/frs/), and we can't blame them. We were in the mood for 200 horsepower and 2,700 pounds, and the FR-S is ready and willing to tickle our fancy. So it was understandable that Scion didn't have an all-new model to show us this week at the Detroit Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/), but Toyota's car-loving brand did provide a taste of the FR-S "race" car.
The drift car isn't just a fun project. Instead, it's the result of a partnership between Scion Racing and GReddy, and will compete in the 2012 Formula DRIFT series with veteran driver Ken Gushi.
We're guessing that the production FR-S won't go anywhere near 600 horsepower without some serious aftermarket work, but we'll at least have this drifter to drool over. Hit the jump (http://scionforum.org/2012/01/09/scion-fr-s-drift-car-detroit-2012/#continued) to read over Scion's press release, and be sure to click through the high resolution images of the FR-S race car in the gallery above.Continue reading Scion FR-S drift car looks like 600-horsepower fun (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/09/scion-fr-s-drift-car-detroit-2012/)
