Toyota/Scion S-FR

Another car trying for the Miata market....this one seems to be VERY inexpensive.

"Pitched as an entry-level model, the new concept emphasizes responsiveness, and aims to make a whole new generation fall in love with driving, continuing the proud heritage of Toyota's fun-to-drive lightweight sports cars."








  • 2NR-FKE engine (tuned version of the one used in Japan's Corolla, now with direct injection and revised ports)
  • 1.5L inline 4 cylinder dual-overhead cam (DOHC)
  • 130 PS / 15.1kgf.m (109.2 lb-ft torque)
  • Aisin 6 Speed Transmission only (no automatic)
  • Fuel consumption: 20.0km/l (47 mpg) (Japanese test cycle)
  • Regular gasoline (no premium needed)
  • Weight: 980kg (2160 lbs)
  • Suspension: Front struts / double wishbone rear
  • 3990 mm length, 1695 mm width, 1320 mm height, 2480 mm wheelbase
  • Estimated price (Japan) is $10k (USD equivalent) less than the current Miata
  • Note: 1.5L Miata is $20.8k including tax in Japan, S-FR is estimated to be $12.5k including tax

Of course we won't get it here, so just another car to go "Facckkkkk" over... I really like this, harkens back to the original Toyota S800. Sure it's a bit girly and it's small, but it looks like a blast.

S800:

I like the idea behind it. Small, light and nimble. Only a claimed 130bhp in there but I would imagine it would still be a fun drive.

Can't tell scale from those images. Is it a new platform or did they just remix the FR-S with cheaper components?

Its new and much smaller than the FRS in size and weight.

The grill is the only thing about that car that I don't like... personally I would love to own a car like this or the S660 as a cheap autocross/track car and summer/weekend driver, especially if they sell at around 15k new.

I can see why "kei" cars will never come to North America, as I doubt they'd pass our safety regulations (and for good reason). I can't see one of these things getting into a crash with your typical bro-dozer lifted F250 and the passengers walking away from it...

why are carmakers recently obsessed with large ass grilles? It works if it's styled aggressively, not on this bubbly eyesore.
Spoiler!

OP didn't post any rear shots, so I googled it.



The interior should be able to rotate 180 so you can just drive the other way so you never need to reverse.
