(from Scion Press
Release) As the Founder/President of Team Hybrid since
1995, James Lin, who led, innovated and built his way to be the
first to the accolade of 1st place champion of Scion's SEMA Team
Tuner Challenge xA in 2006 and also, to be the first person to win
1st place champion back to back at Scion's SEMA Team Tuner Challenge
xD in 2007. Naturally, being King of the Scion Tuners is the
only option going into the invitation-only 2010 build off of Scion's
SEMA Tuner Challenge tC competition. This year, James is
building the all new re-designed 2011 Scion tC. Since there
aren't any commecially available parts, he needed to innovate,
project direct and outsource the development of parts as one-off
pieces while relying on loyal sponsors.
The foundation of the
design process was his philosophy of building clean, innovative cars
that can win at the race-street-show. James attributes this
multidisciplinary approach as the primary reason Team hybrid has
become legendary in the tuning industry and main reason why Scion
selected and asked him to compete for the third time. The
customized one-off look must withstand the test of time as well as
keeping up with today's import tuner standards and trends.
But most importantly,
the car needs to appeal to how Scion markets its cars to their
customers, which is the mass market and not just one genre of the
industry. Lastly, his 2011 widebody / carbon fiber tC
needs to be an overall winner that can compete at all levels and
types of competition whether at an event purely for show,
performance-based and/or both. A 2011 Scion tC that is the
best of both worlds and can be best of class year-after-year is what
James believes makes a national champion caliber Scion SEMA Tuner
Challenge-worthy vehicle.
