Scion FR-S Speedster Appears at Formula Drift Event in Long Beach

A chopped version of the just launched in the States Scion FR-S made a special appearance at the 2012 Long Beach Formula Drift even in California this past weekend and was snagged on camera by a forum member over at the FT86Club.

While there’s no official information on the speedster model, evidently it’s some sort of racing concept based on the production FR-S, possibly one we’ll see at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Aside from removing the coupe’s top, the people who created the speedster model deleted the rear seats adding a cover with two scoops leading to the front passenger head rests, and fixed front windows.

The car’s interior has been stripped down to the metal with the instrument panel relocated on top of the center console.

If you happened to be on hand in Long Beach and know more details about the car, shoot us a message in the comments area below.
