Yes, it is still a hybrid. But furthermore, this Prius not a lot to do with the copies that are coming soon to the nation’s Toyota dealers.

At the Tokyo Auto Show has APR Racing the cloth is pulled off of the Toyota Prius GT300. This is a silhouette racer, with so the body has similarities with the production model, but the car, under the surface, nothing more to do with the original. Also from the previous Prius built APR been racer, with a amidships-placed 3.5 V8.

That atmospheric block is preserved, but for the sake of reglementswijzigingen is the V8 relocation to the place where he is with the regular Prius, also offers: front. The block -for the fanboys: the RV8K – is located under more in the Rebellion LMP1, the Toyota Formula Nippon and the Lexus GT500 racer. The block can take as much as 600 hp, but it will be for the GT300 class must be teruggetuned to 300 hp. It is striking that the electric part of the hybrid powertrain in the base is equal to a regular Prius.

Hoedtik for @uncivilsum!
