About three months after announcing its new tC Release Series (RS), Scion has launched the two-toned coupe onto the market.

Powered by the stock 178hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, the tC RS 9.0 can be had with either six-speed manual gearbox priced from $23,190 or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management tech that starts at $24,340, with both MSRPs excluding a delivery and handling fee of $770.

The RS 9.0 was made with the help of Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs who based its looks on a concept car developed for custom car shows. The highlight of the car is the two-tone magma orange and black exterior paint job, which the same color theme carried through the customized interior as well.

It also gains a new center exhaust, a Cartel Customs-designed aero kit, black Scion logos, and black alloy wheels.
