Scion has been a strong supporter of the creative arts community for over a decade. During that time, Scion has worked with over 1700 artists from different backgrounds on different projects like record releases, art galleries, and the Scion AV initiative. In the latest collaboration, Scion has teamed up with famed DJ and producer, Steve Aoki to apply his creativity and personality to the Scion FR-S.
One of Steve Aoki’s priorities in designing the car was implementing an audio/visual system that would allow him to literally take his show on the road. As a result, a full mixing station was installed in the backseat that’s been paired with a completely redesigned speaker setup using components provided by Pioneer. New LEDs and strobe lighting fixtures were installed around and under the car, and to add to the nightclub feel, a fog machine was also added to the build.

The Scion Racing team took a day during a brief interlude at the tail end of the Formula D season to have some fun around the Streets of Willow. It gave team members a chance to get better acquainted with one another and show off what they were capable of on the track. On what they’ve dubbed Scion Racing’s Team Day, both a stock Scion FR-S along with the Need for Speed Scion tC were on hand to create some smoking action for the day.
