The guys around the team from RS-R USA (development & manufacture of chassis of all kinds - similar to KW in Germany) have published a fresh project that you can use with the help of the specialists around Papadakis Racing on a chic set of 19 inch Vossen Wheels wheels asked that we absolutely have to show you. A Scion FR-S (identical to the Subaru BRZ & Toyota GT-86) was used as the base vehicle for tuning. The factory-installed 2,0-liter four-cylinder with 147KW / 200PS is history and the car starts with no less than 5.0PS after an extensive conversion with a Ford Racing 8L Aluminator XS V590 engine. After the tuning cure that the Scion FR-S was allowed to endure, it is now much more exciting, more individual and, thanks to the triple performance, of course much more potent than the production version. Anyone who is thinking of buying a Scion FR-S in the future or already owns one for RS-R USA & Papadakis Racing is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model. As for the changes made to the optics or the technology, we have already been able to find out the first details. As usual, we have listed what we know below in a summary. If you discover any further changes that we haven't listed, just use the comment box and let us know!
