“Maximum Attack” Scion FR-S makes first public appearance since SEMA

The Chicago Auto Show runs from February 14-22 and performance fans will get to see the winning vehicle of Scion’s 10th annual Tuner Challenge. Scion will bring the Speedhunters-designed “Maximum Attack” Scion FR-S to Chicago. It’s the first time the highly-tuned FR-S has been seen since it was crowned winner at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas back in November.

A tuners dream

This was a tuners dream, to take a stock Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0, $15,000 and have 90 days to turn it into something special for the SEMA Show. Speedhunters was the winner of the challenge and won $10,000 for their efforts. They customized everything on the car and came up with their Cosworth-supercharged, ‘70s IMSA-inspired FR-S.

Built in a two-car garage

This 2014 Scion FR-S was built by three performance enthusiasts in a two-car garage, after work. Speedhunters had some tough competition at SEMA but came away with the winning FR-S with its custom louvre treatment and vintage IMSA-inspired styling. The Speedhunters trio wanted to bring several styles and racing heritage together on their “Maximum Attack” FR-S.

They did it by adding new overfenders from KM4SH, as part of a special edition kit designed by Kei Miura. The custom louvre treatment from Hot Rod Central added the vintage styling they were after.

The “Maximum Attack” FR-S features a 1970s look with incorporation of racing heritage, taking on the number 86. Keith Charvonia, technical editor at Speedhunters said, “My goal was to customize the FR-S with a 1970s, IMSA style look to it, and I’m incredibly pleased with what we were able to produce.”
