Remember how the Lexus LFA race car debuted long before we ever saw the final production car? Well, it appears that parent company Toyota is planning to pull a similar stunt with its FT-86Scion FR-S coupe.

Here, we see a racier FR-S prototype being prepped for this weekend’s German VLN race at the Nürburgring. Even with the revised wheels, front fascia, and Subaru STI-embarrassing wing out back, we can still get a good glimpse of what the production FR-S will look like when it debuts at the Tokyo Motor Show next month.

We’ll have more details after this weekend’s activities, and we’re eagerly awaiting the official FR-S reveal in just a few weeks.
