Bill Wood shot this video for us during the early hours of the 2009 Formula D pre-season tech day at Universal Technical Institute in Rancho Cucamonga, CA of Team Rockstar/AEM unloading their brand new Scion tC drift car.

Not only is this Scion rear wheel drive but its also got a Joe Gibbs Racing/TRD built NASCAR truck V8 under the hood!

Amazing work! I have a turbo tC, but I'm a V8 guy at heart...and this just makes me happy in my pants.

Screw Toyota. Build some exciting cars and THEN you can enter racing again.

Hater

[seaninc]

haha hater? I went to the 'yota dealership and saw 5 cars with standard transmissions. That's just a shit tonne of fail. I love classic Toyotas, but the stuff they put out now is garbage, vanilla garbage.

[MotorWorldHype]

So the Lexus IS-F is garbage? Come on dude.

They save the performance stuff for their other brands.

What's the point of making a performance camry?

[taylorb2053]

They dont make the tc in japan

[john2rds]

Scion tC have a T-Chassis , it's the chassis of Prius , Avensis , Corona , Celica & Caldina ... Toyota Corolla have E-Chassis .

The tC's chassis comes from the Toyota Avensis which comes in AWD.  It's sold in Europe.
