2013 Scion FR-S

Toyota of Concord is excited to introduce the brand-new 2013 Scion FR-S.  The 2013 FR-S is the latest addition to the Scion family and finally provides enough performance to match the sporty styling synonymous with the Scion brand. 

What catches most enthusiasts’ eyes is the sporty, sleek exterior of the new Scion FR-S.  The 2-door coupe features an aerodynamic design that not only will turn heads, but increases performance.  The sports car styling extends to the interior of the car where a pair of racing seats provides enough lateral support to keep the driver in place while accelerating around tight turns.

The sporty coupe appearance of the 2013 Scion FR-S is backed up by its performance, as well as its efficiency.  Powered by a 2.0-liter boxer 4-cylinder engine, the FR-S is able to generate 200 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque.  This power allows the FR-S to go from 0-60 mph in just 6.6 seconds. The impressive performance of the FR-S does not sacrifice fuel efficiency.  The 2013 FR-S is able to return 34 mpg highway and 30 mpg city.
