Scion FR-S

The Scion FR-S is a Scion-badged version of the Toyota 86/GT86 and Subaru BRZ 2+2 sports coupe sold in the United States of America and Canada.
== Description ==
The Scion FR-S, exclusive to the United States and Canada, has its name derived from a description of its platform: Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive, Sport. Originally, the FR-S had no trim levels and all FR-S variants were offered with Scion's BeSpoke stereo system.
The FR-S uses the Subaru FA20/Toyota 4U-GSE naturally aspirated 2.0L (1,998 cc) flat-four engine with Subaru's horizontally-opposed boxer engine design and Toyota's D-4S injection system, which uses both direct and port fuel injection. The FA20/4U-GSE produces at 7,000 rpm and at 6,000 rpm. As part of the 86's low-weight design, the car utilizes an aluminum hood, a solid roof, and a trunk. The 86, BRZ and FR-S are offered with two 6-speed transmissions, an in-house developed Toyota TL70 manual gearbox (based on Aisin AI's AZ6[26]) and an Aisin-Warner A960E, which is modified from that used on the Lexus IS 250. The automatic uses a traditional wet torque converter design, but its software has been engineered to mimic the response of a dual-clutch gearbox. The automatic transmission uses three different modes: Sport, Snow, and Normal. A torque sensing limited slip differential is standard on most models.
Scion estimates performance figures of 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds, while a top speed of 145 mph (233 km/h) was tested.

==== Performance ====
The FR-S can be described as an all-rounder. It doesn't seem to fail in any particular aspect, though it's not the best in any particular aspect.
The FR-S has an average top speed. If Multiplayer-tuned with only speed upgrades applied, it can become slightly superior to cars like the Audi RS 3 Sportback and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive (at the same rank). Otherwise, it's not overly impressive.
Compared to the Ford F-150, it has a total top speed and larger Tuning Kit boost at the expense of nitro efficiency and raw top speed.
The FR-S has outstanding drifting but only mediocre nitro efficiency. As such, it is overshadowed by the Mini Cooper S Roadster, which has a rank with similar stats and improved nitro efficiency.
The FR-S has superior handling to most of the cars before it, but inferior handling to the Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA.
==== Usage ====
The FR-S is not fast enough to compete properly in Class D Time-Limited Events. For those, the "minimum" requirement is the Nissan 370Z, which can usually manage to reach time-goal cutoffs by a fraction of a second.
In Multiplayer, the FR-S is a poor choice unless the player has a large supply of boosters. Compared to the other cheap Class D and Class C cars, the FR-S is above average.
==== Price ====
The Scion FR-S had an original buying price of that was increased to before being removed from the Garage in the Motorcycles Update.
