This is the Epic Cartel Scion tC, a highly customized version of the Japanese-made compact coupe. The vehicle will be on display throughout the SEMA Show.

It features both a supercharger, and limited slip differential from Toyota Racing Development, as well as side exhaust, 22x8 forged vellano rims, and Toyo tires.

Exterior mods include a shortened roof, larger sunroof, new bumpers, and three-tone paint job. The red-white-black color scheme is replicated on the inside, which will surely inspire both the people of Yemen, and New Jersey Devils fans.

You can read more about the Epic Cartel Scion tC in the attached press release.

"The inspiration of project Epic came from a mix of builds I have been involved in over the last 18 months. Each time I begin a project from start to finish no one major factor ever lets me down. Design changes on a daily basis. With that said what one envisions in his or her mind sometimes just doesn't look right and you have to move onto plan B. So, what I do is take all these crazy ideas and apply them to what I like to call the DB (Design Bank) waiting to cash out on it with the next project.

Major Highlights that make this build unique is that it's a new twist of technology and insane flowing body lines. It's been chooped 3" with B-Pillars & center glass roof section removed and reinforced completely."
