" Not since the days of the long-departed Supra have we seen Toyota offer an aerodynamic appendage like the one fitted to this Toyota GT 86 prototype. Sold here as the Scion FR-S, the 2+2 sport coupe has been complimented for its handsome exterior and nimble driving dynamics. During our first drive of the FR-S, we noted the car&amp;#039;s impressive weight management and low center of gravity \u2013 lower than even the razor-sharp Porsche Cayman. Much of the credit is due the 200-bhp flat-4 cylinder engine, which is mounted as low in the car as possible and was designed and engineered by Toyota&amp;#039;s corporate cousin Fuji Heavy Industries (a.k.a. Subaru). The Subaru BRZ, also sold here, is a mechanical and visual twin of the FR-S.         2013 Toyota GT 86 / 2013 Scion FR-S Aero Kit     Boy Racer or Road Warrior?   This Toyota-badged prototype was caught testing at the world famous Nurburgring racetrack in Germany \u2013 the Scion variant is unique to the U.S. market. That towering rear wing is the attention getting feature, obviously, but the car also includes revised front and rear bumpers, along with new side sills. Perhaps Toyota engineers reasoned an extra tall rear spoiler would be less likely to impinge on rear visibility? Or maybe they just hired a team of 13-year-old boys to develop the company&amp;#039;s next generation of speed gear...         2013 Toyota GT 86 / 2013 Scion FR-S Aero Kit     Whatever the case, the extreme aero bits hint that the FR-S might be ready to show its wild side. Subaru already hinted at a higher performance model during the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, when it showed the BRZ STI Concept. At the time, Subaru insisted there were no plans to turbocharge the engine or make all-wheel-drive optional. We weren&amp;#039;t buying it at the time, and we&amp;#039;re not taking the bait now.         2013 Toyota GT 86 / 2013 Scion FR-S Aero Kit     After a protracted development process, Scion seems to have played things awfully conservative when it comes to options. Spec an FR-S online and you&amp;#039;ll discover one of the priciest extras is the ($845) premium audio system. Our guess is that a sportier suspension package, coupled to this aero kit, could find plenty of takers if priced at a couple grand \u2013 or slightly more, depending on the extent of mechanical upgrades.   Considering that the BRZ is already priced and marketed slightly above the FR-S, Subaru could be the lucky one to offer a turbocharged engine and/or all-wheel-drive. It might be mounted out back, but this XL-sized rear wing provides some tantalizing ideas about what is ahead for the FR-S and BRZ. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
