2011 GReddy Highlights

The GReddy Team has some great plans in store for 2012, but before we say good by to 2011, we thought we might recap a few memorable 2011 Highlights...

Back in May, we helped power the Sparco Rally xD, with a prototype GReddy Turbo Kit, to it's 1st Rally victory at the famous Oregon Trail...(see 5/16 post) (see video)




Then our very own #11 Turbo GReddy tC2 won it's 1st Street FWD Time Attack event at the high-speed California Speedway... (see 5/31 post) (see video)





We also launched our new more affordable RS Racing Sport Exhaust line in 2011.  (see 6/23 post) (see video)






And we re-introduced the ever-popular GReddy SP in the modern form of the SP Elite(see 8/1 post) (see video)






We also had some great results with our high power GReddy 35RX in Japan.  Clocking a new high speed record at the famous Fuji Speedway.  (see 9/20 post) (see video) look for more soon on this amazing car!





More locally we showed what a Tuned GT-R (specifically the GReddy GR43) can do up against other Tuned Supercars, in a Road and Track magazine comparison... DOMINATE!  (see 11/29 post) (see video)





And to cap off the year, we had the great fortune to be the first to tune the highly-anticipated Scion FRS (GT86) for the official launch...(see 12/1 post) (see video)






Happy New Years!

The 1st modified Scion FR-S is GReddy tuned

 On November 30th 2011, Scion revealed the much anticipated production version of the Scion FR-S (GT86) to a crowd of media and car enthusiast in Hollywood, CA.  Along with the stock red car, GReddy debuted a black, "lightly" - tuned version, to give the enthusiasts a taste of a modified FR-S.  The response for the even sportier GReddy FR-S was a hit at the event and online instantaneously.

For more photos from the event, please visit our GReddy Tumblr

In just a short few days, the GReddy team secretly developed a prototype Type-S coil-over suspension, big brake kit, and a Spectrum Elite SE exhaust system for the FR-S.  The team also installed high performance 19" Volk Racing G12 wheels, Hankook V12 tires and a custom "F-Sport" inspired black and blue interior.


The GReddy team is very proud to be have chosen by Scion to build this fun project and we can't wait to develop even more products for the release of the FR-S and GT86...


Give us your feedback on what FR-S products you would like to see from GReddy, on our ScionLife forum thread (here)
