by SpeedLux

Scion Racing has recently made an announcement of its plans to compete in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30.

The company will field three different models including the xD, tC and FR-S. The xD rally car will be driven by Andrew Comrie-Picard, while the GReddy tC will be piloted by Takeshi Aizawa. Both will be competing in the Time Attack class.

Rookie Robert Walker will be driving a specially modified FR-S which was built by Evasive Motorsports and will be competing against Rhys Millen and Sébastien Loeb in the Unlimited class.

The company did not disclose much about the cars, but the GReddy tC is equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 365 hp (272 kW) and 382 lb-ft (517 Nm) of torque and enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph in an estimated 3.76 seconds.

Similarly, the xD rally car has a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 265 hp (197 kW) and 265 lb-ft (358 Nm) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 4.3 seconds.
