August 2011 Road&Track FR-S front page
FB20, 200bhp at 7200RPM/150lb-ft at 4600RPM, and around 3000lb's. Expected 0-60 of 7.5s...
What happened to it being the EJ platform  , and why is this thing so heavy all of a sudden =/. Hope they're wrong about those specs.http://www.roadandtrack.com/special-...n-fr-s-concept |

Didn't realize the article was from June, I just saw it in my August 2011 issue of Road&Track it was Front paged.

Found a copy - yeah they pretty much recycled everything from the June online article into the August issue. No wonder magazine sales are on the decline....
Just to show how out of touch they are, here's a poll in one of the earlier pages.

Hey no worries. Too bad there isn't any new info. Quote:
Interesting they claim under $25k. If that is true that is great news. |

Sorry, I swapped images on you - meant to post the poll. Yeah the cover claims under 25k but I've lost a bit of trust in R&T today.

Yeah I agree. Everything is probably just speculation at this point. |

Logics. Cause it makes sense. A $27k Scion does not make logics. |
