Scion FR-S Turbo spied at Laguna Seca

The Scion FR-S prototype was recently spied at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The Subaru-derived 200-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder 4U-GSE boxer appears to have been tweaked to produce more horsepower as it’s obvious that this white car was turbocharged. This vehicle is part of the Toyota-Subaru

Are you taking crazy pills? There will not be a Lexus version of this car.

There's a distinct possibility that this is just their Drift Team car and that a turbo will not make it to production. I'd love for a turbo to make it to market (it's the only way I'd consider buying one over a Genesis coupe or something to that effect) but I do remember hearing something about how they weren't going to release a turbo version of this car for some bs reason. Hopefully whoever originally released the statement denying a turbo for this vehicle is taken behind the barn and shot. Looking forward to hearing the specs for this car, hopefully it bests the 270hp we are used to from turbocharged 2.0 litre engines lately...

Actually, let me clarify my statements: that IS the Scion Drift Team car, it better beat the Genesis 4 cylinder in power, and it better make it to production if Toyota wants to continue its slow crawl back into the mainstream for dynamics-oriented consumers.
