Toyota Accessorizes the tC with the RS 5.0

Toyota is releasing an updated version of the popular Scion tC coupe, which will debut at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. The Scion tC Release Series 5.0 is a limited production tC, which has been outfitted with Toyota Scion accessories from Toyota Racing Development (TRD). The New tC will hit Toyota dealer showrooms this March.

What makes the Scion tC RS 5.0 unique is Toyota’s use of a gloss black paint on the exterior of the car. There are also the aforementioned TRD accessories. Among the sporty components are matte black alloy wheels with red trim. The 2009 tC RS 5.0 is also lower than the standard tC model, which one Westminster Toyota dealer believes should provide a more aggressive and sporty demeanor. Other components include a TRD sway bar, sport muffler, lip spoiler, and TRD exterior badge.

The Toyota Racing Development touches continue inside the Scion tC RS 5.0 as well. The aggressive TRD treatment includes black seats with red accents, TRD floor mats, cargo match, and the vehicle’s number, indicating the limited availability of this tC.

Toyota will only be releasing a mere 2,000 Scion tC Release Series 5.0 will be available. The tC RS 5.0 will go on sale next month for about $2,300 over the standard tC, bringing the price tag to around $17K. With only 2,000 available, if you’re interested in getting your hands on this limited release Scion, Toyota dealers Olympia reminds interested customers that you’ll have to hurry.
