2013 GReddy SEMA Show Build

On Oct. 29th, Scion held a special pre-media event, to debut some special Scions for the upcoming SEMA Show...

One of the hit reveals was the new GReddy Racing Scion FR-S Prototype!

The concept for the prototype, was to build Formula Drift Driver, Ken Gushi's dream race car.  With that in mind, the GReddy R&D team, started out with a salvaged FR-S from the recent Oklahoma floods.  Since the factory drive-train was no longer useable, the team opted for a tried and true power plant - A GReddy T88H-38GK powered 2JZ-GTE, inline 6 engine.


To help make a GReddy Racing Scion FR-S Prototype event better, we insisted the help of many of the same partners we used in the 2011-2012 GReddy Performance X Scion Racing Drift FR-S... Rocket Bunny, Rays Gram Light, Takata Racing, Hankook, KW, OS Giken, G-force, SPL Parts, Spin, a host of GReddy products and just a few touches from the Scion 10Series FR-S.


Look to see the GReddy Racing Scion FR-S Prototype in Scion's SEMA Show booth #20313 from Nov. 5th - Nov.8th...
