Headed to LA, Hollywood & MiLK Studios for the heavily anticipated reveal of the……….
Scion FR-S
I was hired to MC the event aka “hypeman” at a very cool event!
Yep, the Scion FR-S version of the 2WD, some have called the ToyBaru, now deemed the Toyota GT-86 in Japan and Europe and the Subaru BR-Z chassis but in North America it will be the FR-S and it’s SICK!
I’m deeming this car the “Game Changer” I mean it’s RWD, almost 200hp, cool looking & should be priced respectfully….
So follow me to LA to see the Scion FR-S reveal…
Car service to & from the airport rips!
I showed up to the super rad venue and studio called MiLK Studios…
Setting up, I was impressed it looked rad!
VP of Scion Jack Holli doing a lil run through with some super sweet super rare booties..
Just kidding protecting the fresh painted ramp…
And there she is the Scion FR-S……..
Hit the hotel for a quick fresh up!
The Roosevelt
What up Hollywood…
HPI Racing’s own Andrew showing of Aasbo’s Scion drift machine, smaller version of course…
Check out already the Scion FR-S in HPI Racing version….

One of if not THE cleanest AE86 you’ll ever see…

Finally the reveal!
So a big white boy, 2 professional Formula Drift drivers one being a Champion and drivers girlfriend walk into a car reveal and the big whit boy takes the pic! Stereotypes don’t exist anymore, deal with it!
The Head HOONIGAN himself, SCOTTO!
Peep the new lid, who wants one?!?!?
Old friend Len and old known about friend Yukio…
Been knowing these dudes for years!
RJ & Mr. Miyoshi…
OK everybody left, now I can get a few snaps!
I’m just saying, one of THE coolest logos EVER, 86, boxer pistons and look at the 4 “holes” or think of them as tires drifting, BOOM!
Supposedly only like 10 CLEAN of these in the states!
Good dudes that helped make this event happen for everybody, Scion and even myself…
Thanks fellas, Brian of the event management company, Jack Hollis VP of Scion and Craig of Scion PR…
So here ya go, a FR-S that’s “HOOKED UP” mildly, rims, lowered, exhaust, brakes, clean huh?!??!
Happy to see Scion get a RWD but i think Toyota should have kept it as the FT-86. Cant wait to see what the street do with it. But im really looking forward to the Subaru BRZ version.
Great post! so hype for this car!
