2011 NAIAS: Scion xB Release Series 8.0

If you plan to visit this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), open for the public eyes between January 15-23, you should take a look at Scion’s booth, where you’ll find several customized models, as well as limited production vehicles from the carmaker’s line-up.

One such motorized contraption is, as you can see in the adjacent images our team at the scene has sent us, the 2011 xB Release Series 8.0 (xB RS 8.0) limited production vehicle.

The xB RS 8.0 comes fitted with a four-piece body kit designed by Kenstyle, including aggressive front and rear lower lips and side skirts. The xB comes painted in a vibrant color called Voodoo Blue, which is not currently available on any other Scion model. A color-keyed rear spoiler is available as an option.

Another highlight of the vehicle is the sunroof, which features power tilt and slide function not currently available on regular xB models.

Inside, the xB RS 8.0 features seats and door-panel trim covered in an exclusive black fabric with blue color-tuned highlights that complement the exterior. The floor mats come embroidered in blue with the "xB RS 8.0" logo.

There will be only 2,000 units built, each coming with a unique, individually numbered Release Series badge illuminated in blue.

The xB RS 8.0 will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $18,405 with a manual transmission, and $19,355 with an automatic transmission. A limited supply of the available color-matched rear spoiler will be available to xB RS 8.0 owners with a MSRP of $320, not including installation.
