Smallest steering wheel for Scion:
The perfectly circular steering wheel offers exceptional grip and excellent turning performance. Even the steering column has been tuned to an optimal angle for smooth steering.
-
6 speed transmission
Depending on your preference, the flat-four is mated with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The manual offers quick, precise shifts with a short-throw; while the automatic features aggressive up shifts and sporty rev-matched downshifts initiated by steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Power is transferred to the pavement via a limited-slip differential.
-
Sport racing pedals:
Put the pedal to the metal. Aluminum pedals were adopted to increase both the sporty feel and ease of operation. The pedals have been perfectly spaced for heel and toe down shifts.
-
2+2 Seating Configuration:
With a 2+2 seating configuration, FR-S is designed for both form and function. The front seats are comfortable yet assertive – holding firmly during performance driving. The rear seats can be folded flat, creating enough space for your golf clubs or more likely your jack, helmet or racing tires.

Intro
The Scion FR-S is a performance driving machine developed from the knowledge accumulated through Toyota's continuous research during its extensive racing experience. It gets its core inspiration from three Toyota models, the Sports 800, 2000GT and the Corolla GT-S also known as the AE86. Learn more about how each car inspired what is now the most talked about new sports car in the Scion line-up.

Sports 800
The Sports 800's most important inspiration to the FR-S is its innovative and unique combination of a front-mounted boxer engine in a rear-wheel drive configuration. The flat architecture of the boxer engine, allows it to be mounted low, dropping the center of gravity, resulting in sporty handling characteristics. For this reason, the FR-S adopted this distinctive combination.
-
2000GT
The 2000GT was perhaps the first Toyota model to gain recognition within the sports car world, setting 13 international speed records. When it debuted in 1967, one car magazine described the 2000GT as, "A fantastic engineering masterpiece on wheels… a magnificent manifestation of complete automotive ingenuity."
Even by today's standards, the 2000GT's styling is sophisticated and modern. The exterior design of the FR-S is heavily influenced by the 2000GT's profile, making it extremely low to the ground with a long, sleek hood. -
AE86
The car that inspires the Scion sport coupe the most is the Corolla GT-S, known by its true fans as the AE86 or "Hachi-Roku," which means 8-6 in Japanese. It gets its "AE86" name from the car's unique chassis code given by Toyota. It was a moderately priced sports car with a front-engine in a rear-wheel drive configuration. The AE86 didn't rely on brute horsepower, but instead a remarkable combination of lightweight design and manageable power, offering a perfect balance.
It's made its way into almost every genre of racing from grip to drift…and from the circuit to mountain roads. -
FR-S
Although the FR-S arrives almost 30 years later and doesn't share a single piece of hardware, the spirit and the heritage of the AE86 bleeds into every ounce of the car. The goal was to create an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car with compelling style, exceptionally balanced performance and handling, flexible utility and surprising fuel efficiency. The FR-S is expected to achieve all of that in a package that will no doubt bring the "Sport" back to the "Car."
The Scion FR-S: built by passion, not by committee.
