The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race has been held since 1977 as a charity event that matches Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes on the Grand Prix course in Long Beach. Last year, drivers raced the Scion tC, this year they will be racing with the Scion FR-S. Here are some stats for the race-ready FR-S:
Engine: 2.0L Flat-4
Power: 210 HP / 160 LB-FT
Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
0-60 Time: 6.1 Seconds (est.)
Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive
Curb Weight: 2,725 LBS (est.)
Seating: 2
This race is made extremely popular because of the amateur, thus uninhibited drivers, which leads to a very action-packed event.
Sounds exciting! We’ll post more soon, but in the meantime be sure to check out our 2013 Scion FR-S here.
