TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 8, 2014) – The wait to own the first Scion FR-S limited edition release series is finally over. Scion fans and racing enthusiasts can now get behind the wheel of the FR-S Release Series 1.0, a modern homage to the sports coupe's racing roots. Revealed earlier this year at the New York International Auto Show, the FR-S Release Series 1.0 is now available at dealerships nationwide.
With just 1,500 Release Series 1.0 vehicles produced, FR-S enthusiasts must move fast to own the limited edition coupe. Striking with a coat of Yuzu exterior paint color, the Release Series 1.0 comes equipped with enhanced features from Toyota Racing Development (TRD), including TRD Quad Tip Exhaust System and TRD lowering springs. Other highlights are the custom-designed aero kit with a rear spoiler and side fender garnish. Highlighting its exclusivity, each vehicle contains its sequential release series badge (1 of 1500) inlayed on its brushed aluminum shifter surround plate.
"The Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 is the ultimate tribute to motorsports history that not only has the looks for the track, but also brings that energy into the driver's seat," said Scion Vice President Doug Murtha.
Additional FR-S Release Series 1.0 features include:
TRD steering wheel
TRD shift ****
Black seats with T-pattern

With just 2 months to go until the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, our three Scion Tuner Challenge competitors are likely spending many sleepless nights as they work tirelessly to bring their ultimate tuner Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 concepts to a reality. Thankfully, we managed to get Taro Koki of GT Channel, Sam Du of Super Street and Keith Charvonia of Speedhunters to take a break from the build to give us some insight into what they have planned.

But it's going to be 400lb heavier than Miata with only 20hp more. New Miata will outrun the twins easily. They need to stop messing around and release turbo version already.

I agree.
Scion FR-S ---> Toyota GT86
Scion tC ---> Toyota Zelas
Scion xD ---> Toyota ist
Scion xB ---> Toyota Corolla Rumion
It's already like that outside of U.S.
