ENGINE 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder, 16-valves, Descendent turbo kit using Garrett GT3076R turbo, World Electronics TBC-1 boost controller, 007 Rado Series flame thrower exhausts by Twin Turbos, NX nitrous system with automatic bottle opener and regulator



With night vision, fingerprint recognition, flame-thrower capabilities and a helicopter in the boot, this Scion tC is every spy's best friend.

Aston Martins are all very good for your international espionage needs, but in modern-day LA all the top agents are using … Scion tCs? Hold on, what’s a Scion tC anyway? Cunningly they seem to have gone undercover from the off by using a car we don’t even know about.



After long investigation it turns out that the Scion tC is a low-cost, ‘funky’ car based on the Toyota Avensis chassis aimed at Generation Y, which is strange marketing speak for anyone in their late teens to early twenties. And at about $16,000 (or about £8,600 in proper money) for a brand new model you don’t need a tux and Walther PPK to get one, although you do need to live in America as Scion is a US-only brand. But even Yanks will need the brains of Q and an intelligence network to match the most cunning of double agents to get one like Christian Rado’s.



Having infiltrated the top management at bodykit giants Extreme Dimensions, Rado used his powers of persuasion to make them build a limited edition widebody kit for his spy car. Rado is well known across the pond for his exploits in import drag racing and this kit is designed to mirror the crazy carbon wideness of his current Scion tC drag monster. With 5 extra inches on each side, the 10x19 custom HRE front wheels are nicely housed to pull the most calamitous of agents out of a tight spot.

 

That car is not new

Scion doesn't exist in Europe. I have family that lives in the UK that came over for my wedding earlier this year. They were all crazy about my tC. They thought it was great, and for the price, one of my cousins is looking into importing one to the UK. If he does, it may be one of the first, if not #1 in the UK. How badass is that? One of my brother's that lives in England drives an Avensis, when he drove my tC this year he was jealous. And that felt nice.

 

There's someone on here in the UK that has a tC. I believe they're in the military.

 

Bummer. Well, rarity is still awesome. Heh

 

How much are those flame throwers? wanna get one for all those tailgaters!

 

that looks like the chris rado car that was on the cover of import tuner mag i think it is.

 

I used to live in the UK, and let me tell you, cars are frickin expensive over there. Just as an example, a bottom of the line Civic STARTS at £15,000, which directly converts to $30,000. So just think about the tC, a car with more power, better looks, lots more features, starting at almost HALF the price. It's not really appropriate for the Brits to think of the tC as a £8600 car, because if it were sold in the UK then it would certainly cost something like £15,000, aka $30,000. The British Avensis starts at $30,000 and goes up to $45,000, and that is the closest equivalent to the tC. A Prius in the UK starts at $36,000.

 

i know!!! my friend just paid about $8,000 US Dollars for a 2003 Ford Festiva with 6k on the clock! LOL

 

Chris rado's car is sexy

 

Very nice!!
