In recent years, Toyota’s Scion division has created a number of limited-edition company-modified versions of its cars. The Scion brand was, after all, created to appeal to young buyers, so modified, limited-edition versions may not be large revenue generators, but they support the division’s raison d’être. The latest is a “Hot Lava”-colored, tricked-out version of the xD vehicle, part of the division’s Release Series 1.0 line of factory-customized cars. The company is extending the lava theme to a marketing program to support the car, of which only 2,000 are being made. The campaign, which launched Wednesday, comprises an online banner-ad campaign directing consumers to visit Scion.com/rsxD; dealer-customizable newspaper ads; and smoking mobile billboards accompanied by street teams wearing flame-retardant suits.

This weekend though, Toyota’s sporty little coupe will be moving up from amateur abuse to make its big time debut in Grand-Am’s KONI Challenge Series. This week’s race will take place at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, OH and the tC will be part of the ST (Sport Touring) class.
