Scion will showcase a new special edition xB hatchback at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. Called the Release Series 7.0, the car features a unique exterior color scheme, a matching interior, and a dramatic body kit.

The aggressively sculpted front and rear aprons are sourced from Japanese tuner DAMD. The only available color is Murasaki, which happens to be the Japanese word for purple.

The interior follows the color scheme with black upholstery featuring purple-blue insets, RS (Release Series) badging, and a leather-wrapped RAZO GT Formula Spec shifter.

There are three wheel designs to choose from and the large rear spoiler is also optional. Low-riding TRD springs and a sportier exhaust system are standard.

Pricing starts at $18,320 with a manual transmission and $19,270 with an automatic (plus a $670 destination charge). Availability begins this month.
