Anyone who is a fan of the Scion FR-S should know that the sports coupe has finally been included in the exclusive Release Series. The budget-friendly Toyota brand is offering the limited edition car as a way to honor the motorsports heritage that helped result in the creation of the FR-S. In other words, the upgrades on the car are focused more on performance than a really cool sound system or weird looks, like in most other Scion Release Series models.

The most obvious change to the car is the addition of a rather aggressive-looking aero kit that includes a small rear spoiler and bold fender garnishes. Combined with the eye-searing Yuzu paint color, exclusive black wheels, TRD lowering springs, and a TRD Quad Tip Exhaust System, the FR-S Release Series 1.0 looks pretty aggressive. Owners can further impress their friends with the badge embedded in the shifter surround plate, which shows the order in which each car was made.

Naturally, there are some other upgrades that don’t affect performance. TRD supplied the steering wheel and shifter knob, plus a cargo mat with a big TRD logo on it. There is also a unique upholstery pattern and HID headlights with LED daytime lights.

Sadly, there are no major performance upgrades for the car, like the inclusion of a supercharger or turbo, bumping up horsepower. Instead, the car looks more race-worthy, even if it struggles with merging onto the freeway.

If you are wanting to be the original owner of this special car, you should hurry. Scion has only made 1,500 units and they are already up for sale at dealers nationwide.
