Here are two things that don’t come to mind when you think of Scion: rear-wheel drive and V8 power. But that’s exactly what the Rockstar/AEM crew have created with the Formula D-bound Scion tC. Joe Gibbs, TRD and Papadakis Racing put in the wrench time on the new racer and underhood is a V8 pulled from Toyota’s NASCAR efforts and retuned with a drift-friendly powerband. Most of the details are still shrouded in mystery, but the noise emanating from the tC’s exhaust is more than enough to get us interested. Check out a brief interview with the Steph and a “spy video” of it testing after the break.
