Scion FR-S targa created for SEMA 2014

Cartel Customs has collaborated with Scion to build a unique FR-S for this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association show. Called the T1, it features a removable targa top and a rather retro louvre panel over the rear window.

Those aren’t the only exterior changes, though. The FR-S T1 also boasts a wide-body conversion, an integrated boot spoiler and a diffuser that houses a bespoke central exhaust. A two-tone black and Azzuro California Blue paintjob plus some 19” forged wheels complete the car’s look.

Performance should be improved too thanks to a GReddy turbocharger for the 2.0 litre boxer engine, lower KW coilover suspension and upgraded Wilwood brakes.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
