Scion let loose with details about its eighth Release Series vehicle today. The 2013 Scion tC Release Series 8.0 will start at $21,815 plus $730 for destination charges for the six-speed manual version, with the auto tranny costing an extra $1,050.
That $3,240 premium over the base 2013 tC gets you one of just 2,000 RS 8.0 vehicles, sprayed in Absolutely Red. Special equipment includes gloss black side mirrors, black alloy wheels and a full body kit including spoiler, developed with Five Axis Design. Lowering springs and a center-outlet exhaust system from Toyota Racing Development give the car some much-needed mechanical upgrades, while automatic-equipped models also get steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Inside the car, red contrasting stitching on the seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel and an individual number badge will show your passengers that you're the utmost Scion connoisseur. Well, except perhaps for those who bought the tC Release Series 7.0, or the Release Series 6.0, or the 5.0, or 4.0...
