A Toyota Prius With Lamborghini Styling Provides Sad Glimpse At Future

In the future, the anti-fun police will ensure that cars won't go fast, they'll just look fast. Comrades, we give you the Toyota Prius Custom Plus Concept.

snip:

Hailing from Toyota's in-house accessories division, the CPC is immediately distinguishable from more humdrum hybrids by it's MASSIVE Lambo-style front intakes. What these feed, we haven't a clue. These vents form the leading edges of a ridiculously wide body kit chosen to accentuate the 2010 Toyota Prius's wedge profile. Of course, any accentuation to form is spoiled by the tacky details; check out the weight-saving carbon hood, the winglets aft of the wheels and of course, the ridiculous wheels. Call us crazy, but we actually like the translucent, droopy rear spoiler, just not on the Prius. If you believe your future kids will become gearheads, and this is the lame form their rebellion takes, we suggest a vasectomy.

:puke:

Hmm... I wonder if they'll be able to pull this off... That body kit better be made of lightweight materials and be environmentally friendly. Plus I'm sure those non-functional vents slow down this already impressive piece on engineering.

My hope is hydrogen. Watched the Top Gear on the Honda Clarity and I'm hoping that is what happens... Hydrogen takes over the commuter cars and such and in stride, saves gasoline for hobbyists, enthusiasts, race-cars, etc.


But if this is the future, What will the future think of the fast and furious movies? :cwm27:

that is so hideous that it is just plain sad

Goes well with those Japanese anime cars.

haha wow really..... weak sauce.....

Fawkin' Gay.

I so badly want one. looks so JDM.


but this one doesnt look to bad. if they got rid of the Zumn wheels, i think it would look even better.

Both are grotesque.

the yellow one isnt so bad.

i want more cars that look like the aptera typ-1!

Don't make a slow, fuel efficient car appear to be fast. . . its sort of a rule.

The prius, and most hybrids in general, are just slower, more fuel efficient cousins to the gas cars they're trying to replace.

There are exceptions, but there is no need to for any of this. . . a Prius sleeper could be a lot of fun though. . .

just say no.


you cant gold plate a prius to try to be cool...ultimately its still just a prius that now looks even worse

Car that looks faster than it is hmmmm rx8 lol
