The Scion TC made for tuning
The Scion TC was brought out by Toyota in 2004 it based on the successful Toyota Avensis chassis and has been considered among many fans as the next generation Celica. As for the TC, this according to Scion stands for “Touring Coupe” and that is a title that describes this family sized sports car almost perfectly.
This particular model is something very special, it still carries the Scion lines and style, but there is no mistake in thinking that this is how the car rolled off the production line in Tsutsumi, Japan. In fact, this car has virtually been rebuilt under that perfect gold painted skin from the one and only House of Kolors collection.
The car is owned by Alex Swensen, it a 2006 model and he has gone all out to build the perfect imported tuner car, it has to be said that this car could there and the only way in knowing is if there is a better one out there. Anyone know of Scion TC that could give Alex Swensens model a run for its money?
This car was built with a super 2.4 litre engine and a choice of four speed auto or five speed manual gear box that off the production line had around 161 HP, this featured Scion TC has around 300 HP and the looks that go with the power. Is it even going to be possible to find a car that beats this one or is the Golden Scion the best of the crop?
