Toyota Prius dressed as fierce GR

The new fifth-generation Toyota Prius only comes to our country as a plug-in hybrid. The new Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the most powerful variant Toyota has ever made. Its 148 hp powerful 2.0 four-cylinder gives the plug-in Prius together with a 160 hp electric motor a system power of 223 hp. This makes it significantly stronger than the previous Prius Plug-in, which reached 122 hp. That new plug power helps the Prius to 100 km / h in 6.7 counts, making it the fastest Prius ever. Toyota Gazoo Racing is now donning the new Prius in packaging that transforms it into a fierce appearance.

Toyota Prius.

This is the Prius 24h Le Mans Centennial GR Edition, a Prius modified by Toyota’s motorsport department and overloaded with aerodynamic extras. The sporty Prius – with which Toyota has celebrated the influence of its motorsport activities on the development of hybrid technology – has side skirts, a rear wing, heavy bumper work and a carbon fiber hood. The chassis has been modified and the track width has been increased, among other things to make room for the special 235/50 R18 rubber that has been folded around the new alloy wheels. The external adjustments make the Prius 9 centimeters longer and 5 centimeters wider than the original. The track width has been increased by four centimeters at the front and rear and the show car is also 3 centimeters closer to the asphalt.

There does not appear to be any motor modifications. The Prius 24h Le Mans Centennial GR Edition may serve as a hint to the arrival of a sporty variant of the Prius. There are rumors that Toyota does not have a GR, but an even more intense GRMN edition of the Prius.
