Scion has announced that it will participate in the Formula Drift this year with its rear wheel drive RS*R Scion tC which is based on Scion’s most popular model, the tC sports coupe.
The factory built front-wheel drive tC converted to a drifting rear-wheel drive by RS*R, acclaimed exhaust and suspension manufacturer. The conversion made possible due to its similarity with Toyota’s Japanese market Avensis four-wheel drive and Caldina all-wheel drive platform. RS*R changed the stock transverse 2AZ-FE 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine configuration to a longitudinal setup in order to drive power, through the transmission and drive shaft, directly to the rear wheels.
