Those are just Toyota 86's with Scion emblems pasted on. They probably did this so as not to confuse any simpleton Scion employees

That aerodynamics video was a lot less technical than I was hoping for...

Speaking of which, can you imagine if the FR-S had one and sounded like this?


That sounded really good.

The animator for the second video has no idea how a 4 stroke engine works...
All I could do was stare and shudder watching the 'engine' do its thing. It was almost 2-stroke like, but with valves... and the injectors fired at the wrong time... ahhhh!!!!

that aero vid is all marketing. I'm getting ready to buy the CAD drawings of the FR-S for CFD modeling, and have had the car reviewed by folks that work in ALMS and sport car series as an aero engineer. The FR-S is no different than most cars on the road today. An aero engineer says what is optimal, then the style designers make it "look cool" - which effectively screws up the aero package.

Maybe I am too performance minded, but it made me chuckle when they said their design reduces downforce to improve fuel mileage at high speed. :P

Well, there is truth to it. Rolling resistance drag increases linearly with weight (the force down on the road). Add'l downforce would thus increase rolling resistance drag which would decrease fuel economy.

As long as the shape doesn't create lift for better fuel economy, we're alright.
