First up is Scion FR-S Release Series 2.0. Touted as the most most exclusive Scion release series yet and with only 1,000 units for sale, the variant is stylistically simple but comes with luxurious appointments and premium features, including heated seats in black Alcantara and leather with camel-coloured accents; Lunar Storm paint and 17-inch forged alloy wheels; Smart key with push-button start; dual-zone automatic climate control and HID headlamps with LED daylight running lamps.
A high-riding concept was also on display Named for its Compact size and High Ride height, the C-HR Concept incorporates distinctive styling and sporty performance. The versatile hatch and sophisticated touches aim to meet the lifestyle needs of the young urban creatives who inspired the design.
Eddie Huang Scion iA.
Huang and Skybound Entertainment took the Scion iA, which is based on the Mazda2, and re-imagined it as a classic lowrider, outfitting the iA with a chain-link steering wheel, custom swivel front seats and a one-of-a kind gold-plated grille. The hood features a mural of a “human panda,” which is how Huang refers to himself.
Skybound Entertainment/Robert Kirkman Outcast Scion iA.
Fans of The Walking Dead will appreciate Skybound Entertainment’s execution of Robert Kirkman’s latest comic book, Outcast. With the theme of demonic possession, the orange, black and green-toned car moves and operates on its own via pneumatic movements of multiple components and an automated sequence of light and audio effects.
Scion has also worked with LA streetwear designer Chris Stamp to produce a collection of jackets, shirts and pants.
The auto show runs from Nov 20-29.
