The 86/FR-S/BRZ trio ignores the horsepower and performance war and focuses on pure driver enjoyment like its famous ancestor, the Toyota AE86.
Well, a safe way to have a lot of fun is going to a track. However, here the 17-inch Michelin Primacy HP 87W GreenX tires with which the Scion FR-S is fitted with are below par.

The modified Japanese sports car's front end is borrowed from a mid-to-late 2000s Audi A4 (B7) while the rear was made out of bits and pieces from the previous generation, Bangle-styled BMW 5-Series (codenamed E60).
The blistered wheel arches, side skirts, black alloy wheels and the shaved doors are bonus parts.

You may remember the race from last year's highly publicized incident involving an Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo that took a dive into the Atlantic.

At the first round of the 2012 Canadian Rally Championship at Perce-Neige, Urlichich was driving his Subaru Impreza STI flat out at 225km/h (140mph) on a snow-covered road when he gently pushed the brake pedal to slow down.

Nice, but what has the tango got to do with the automotive world, we hear you ask?
