2014 Scion FRS Announced! TRD Supercharger Standard!
 
I just got done with an email conversation with a Scion Corp Member and they bear great news! Just in time for April!

As many of you all have been wondering the 2014 Scion FRS is indeed here!
Performance has been hugely improved thanks to the TRD Supercharger.
Results from dyno testing and show about 240hp and 210 lb-ft of torque!
It is a big move from Tada-san but on that will hopefully be well received...
Lots of research and testing has been done in order to keep the car balanced.

For those of you who don't know, it will be a Twin-Screw Type system.
Over in Japan, testing has been done in various track and rally conditions.
Other than Engine mods, not much has been done to change the car.
Looks are basically the same, with only the Release Edition getting 86 goodies.
Suspension and Braking systems are also reportedly the same.

I shouldn't really be releasing all this juicy info but I'm willing to put my neck on the line to get you guys the latest info! Something about Spring and April just gets me really excited about the 86!

Not going to lie, at first, I got excited... then you threw in Tada's name and I remembered today's date. Good one though :p

chenshuo 04-01-2013 11:07 AM

Pretend that this is true, for those that want to trade in, the money you lose in a trade-in you can use that money to install a super charger.

That's it? The BRZ is getting an AWD twin turbo convertible 2 seater diesel hybrid!

Weak sauce, Scion!

SUBARU SURRENDERS AND CONFIRMS AWD TURBO CONVERTIBLE TWO-SEATER DIESEL HYBRID BRZ


- Maker Gives in And Admits Everything


Cherry Hill, N.J., - Bowing to continued media and internet speculation, Subaru of America has confirmed that it will launch an AWD Twin-Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ for sale in 2015. The new model essentially takes all of the media and internet rumors surrounding the highly successful BRZ sports car and delivers them in one fell swoop.

A spokesman for the company said: “Having just launched the current model to widespread critical acclaim, we are tired of fighting off the constant speculation about what’s “next” and so we are just giving in and delivering all the speculation in one vehicle.”

The new model, which is expected to have a starting price, will however NOT come with a much anticipated rear back-up camera. The spokesman confirmed that after shoehorning two convertible switches (up and down) onto the fascia there just wasn’t room for any more instruments. The AWD Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ will come in a single color, noseeum black and will be hand produced at Subaru’s Brigadoon facility.

More denials about future BRZ variants can be found at media.subaru.com

Happy April 1.

In other news, Toyota, Subaru and Porsche have come together to fit a modified flat 6 from their 911GT3RS to be fitted further back in the FR-S for 50/50 weight distribution and has been lotus tuned for 400HP and 300ftlbs of torque at 9001RPM. The car now also makes sno-cones.

Anyone else not notice it was April first till they were really awake ? Lol I got fooled.

naikaidriver 04-01-2013 01:13 PM

I've made a list of all the people that responded to this joke without reading it.

They are the ones that I will not bother conversing with... ever.

I love April fools, so many people coming out of the closet, being pregnant, winning the lottery and best of all new highly anticipated car and motorcycle releases all anounced on this one fine day. Good times.
