Jade Motorsports researched the Scion youth segment
to get a feel for what hot, 'up and coming' trends excited
these distinctive enthusiasts. 'Time Attack' racing,
'Tuner' cars, 'Drifting,' 'HIN' show cars, along with
our personal Jade cars were popular with many in the
Scion scene. Our direction was then to combine those
elements and create something 'over-the-top.' The challenges
we faced on this project were massive but the end result
is a turbo scion xA that's built for the show circuit,
tuned for the streets, and possessing the fit and finish
that rivals a factory Scion vehicle. "Proud parents"
is the only way we would describe our feelings for this
car and we thank Scion for this awesome opportunity
to showcase our talents.
