We've been waiting, rather patiently we might add, for <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/toyota">Toyota</a> to bring out its latest sports car for what seems like millenniums. This new coupe will be wearing a <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/scion">Scion</a> badge and go by the name <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/fr-s">FR-S</a>, which stands for "front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport." It's the "R" and "S" that has enthusiasts eager to lay eyes on this Scion in the flesh. A <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/20/new-york-2011-scion-fr-s-concept-is-friggin-really-sweet/">concept version was trotted out at the 2011 New York Auto Show</a>, but spy photographers managed to capture a camo-covered development mule adding "Germany" to the stamps in its passport book.<br />
<br />
What specific area of Germany, you ask? Just a little town called N&uuml;rburg, which is home to a slice of asphalt you <em>may</em> have heard of before. This means Toyota engineers are fine-tuning the sports car, and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nurburgring">N&uuml;rburg ring</a> is sure to provide lots of data points for them to dissect. Data points make engineers happy, and happy engineers make fun-to-drive cars.<br />
<br />
Looking over the pics, it appears those engineers have ditched the concept's rear diffuser but added in a rear spoiler. We can't wait to see what else is in store once that swirls come off.<br />
