Tuners Rapidly Embracing New Toyota GT 86 – Videos
It’s not often that a game changing sports car comes out onto the market. The Toyota GT 86 / Scion FR-S is exactly that, and it’s clear that tuners and aftermarket product manufacturers are just as excited for the platform as automotive enthusiasts are.
There’s little to no doubt in our minds that the Scion FR-S will be a huge hit – you can read our review here – and the aftermarket will only make the vehicle better. Tuners in Japan have already been hard at work since they got their hands on the GT 86 earlier than America. But the Scion Racing / GReddy drift Scion FR-S driven by Ken Gushi (pictured above) looks ready to rock into action at the Long Beach season opener.
We’ve also already seen D1 GP drifter Max Orido with his IS-F powered GT 86. While both those cars are great to check out, they’re mainly unobtainable by the average FR-S enthusiast. What’s more exciting is to see what some of the other tuners have in the works for styling and performance accessories. So sit back and peruse the gallery as well as the videos after the break to get some inspiration on building your own FR-S.
