At this year’s New York International Auto Show, Scion will feature the 2015 Scion FR-S by Super Street.

The eye catching yellow 2015 Scion FR-S was built by Super Street, a magazine covering high-performance customized cars and lifestyle. They took the 2015 FR-S Release Series 1.0 and used inspiration from their first build, a British Racing Green/Rocket Bunny theme, turned up the power and went wider, wilder and louder.

The FR-S Super Street team

The FR-S was built by the Super Street team that included LTMW, Gearheinz and Rywire. The ultra hot bodywork was done by LT Motorworks, Gearheinz was brought in for their engine-building expertise and Rywire created a new engine harness that cleaned up the engine bay for show points and it also controls the drive-by-wire system for the ITBs.

FR-S gets major modifications

The 2.0-liter FA20 boxer engine was upgraded with Borla Induction 45mm DCOE ITBs, fuel rails and 70mm velocity stacks; Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors and Borla header and catback exhaust with custom quad tips. The suspension was lowered with KW Clubsport coilovers, got new front/rear sway bars, and front control arms. The brakes are from Wilwood with 6-piston front big brake kit and 4-piston rear big brake kit with street pads. The FR-S gets custom 18×10.25 and 18×12.25 inch Floss Edition BBS LM wheels wrapped in Nitto NT05 275/35R18 and 295/35R18 tires.
