Discovery SCION FRS in Recent 86 Video Review.
 

So Yesturday someone posted this video, Credits to him for finding it and it revealed that this Orange Prototype car had a Scion Emblem on it. We assumed that it was a FRS.

Video 1 (Scion Emblem)

Now today someone else who was very nice to find us a new video(Credits to him) Gave us another 86 review. Now it shows the same Orange car this time it's running around. Notice the difference between the Silver 86.

Differences that I noticed so far is that the exhaust is different, and I am 99% sure that it is the FRS in the first vid because of the position of the car and the prototype parking in the first video, the wheels with no Toyota Emblem.
The dates of Early October Also matched.

There you have it people, your first look at a running FRS,Enjoy.

:thumbup: Thanks!

very nice :burnrubber:

good stuff :thumbsup:

That second video is awesome, regardless of which car it is. Nice find.

translation of what is being said?

nice exhaust note from cabin tho

That was a damn good engine note. And when he entered into a drift, it was so damn smooth. The straightening out wasn't violent at all..

To OP:
:thumbsup: nice vids!

but i don't see a resemblance in either car in the first and second video other than the exterior color. There's no exhaust sound in the first vid and the wheel in the 2nd vid has a different colored steering wheel. Plus, we are unable to see the logo of the badge on that steering wheel.

But maybe you caught more than me. lol :respekt:

Hmm To what I'm seeing here is the interior shown in-the second video is actually of the silver car. I almost want to say he wasn't driving the orange one at all and most of the shots are done from the silver car.

The ending shows the orange FRS parked right in front of the Prototype, just like the first vid and another coincidence is that the first vid and the description of the second says early October, the first vid was posted in oct 15. So that's where I went on, I really do think that orange is an FRS.

the orange taped up car from the front view looks like a ferrari 458 italia

Same guy

Sorry man I don't think it's the same, I'd agree with you except for one thing...the steering wheel is different in the second video the Fr-S steering wheel isn't red. Cool video though thanks

The Possible FRS is the orange car..he is not driving the orange car, but the silver one.

I think the Headlight housing of the Scion version will be different too. Scion probably have 2 styles for headlight housing, LED and Non LED.

orange car has no license plate on front... so i guess thats the american (scion) version
The grill itself also looks a little bit different regardless of the license plate holder

is it me or do the head lights resemble the one on the protype race car a couple months back

Lmao, that journalist made me laugh!!

Not sure translation is really nesessary, you can tell from his face, he was enjoying every bit of it. other than he enjoyed every bit of that car, he said, the car respond smoothly, loving the engine sound, not extremely fast but it's fast enough

Crap. A Scion badge on the steering wheel. An other badge I'll got to pop...

thanks man! i like these vids! I would say i rather have the 86 badge because it is nicer and nice tribute not because I don't want the Scion badge. Maybe an option. Probably not.

Low and high spec do have different headlights. Hid high spec has the led strips halogen low spec does not.

That's what I noticed too. I hope the Scion has the LEDs as an option.

Doriftoooo!

I'm hoping the reason there hiding the front bumper on the scion is becase they removed the signal lights and just keeping the fog lights. i sure hope so! :)

That's not what I mean. I mean LED USDM is different from LED JDM. Maybe I see things, but I still feel like they are a bit different.

Hmm I haven't noticed anything.. pics/screen shots?

I'll be so ticked if this is going to be called a Scion FR-S instead of Scion GT86. And Scion badge instead of 86 badge on steering = fail.

GT86/86 Headlight has more chrome

Scion FRS prototype headlight tested by insideline. Bigger stripe(grey plastic), less chrome with carbon accent.

I like the one in Scion better. Chrome = Rice. Maybe Scion version was just a prototype, and not production.
Note: that light under the stripe of Scion prototype headlight is just reflection of the ceiling light.

One may be prototype vs production too. I thought there was a production scion photo with a different one.. well in two days people here will see in in LA so we'll find out then :)

No, we will not. We will have to wait until Detroit Auto Show in January.

I thought Ichi and others were being shown the production Scion in Cali on the 30th? They are going to Scion for something regarding the car.

I'll see them in January, looking forward to it :) I need to go priceline hotels now actually :)

Ichi said he will be flying to Japan for Tokyo Motor Show. :D I hope I'm available to go in January, but... well get lot of pics and share with us here.

Yep, there is a FR-S reveal on Wednesday.

Invite for the FR-S reveal was just posted. Ichi is going to LA Wednesday.

Damn. I think I missed that one. When will the LAAS ends? I really want to go now.

That might be over. It's not associated with LAAS though. The reveal is at "Milk Studios".

How the hell does he find the time...gesh. :iono:
