Got any idea of what the hybrid technology looks like under the hood? I like how there's so much power that the wheels are spinning like crazy and trying to grip as it goes thru the corners while accelerating... Sure wish I knew what the fix was so I could get my Prius to keep accelerating when traction is lost...
Here are the specs... Yes, it's a hybrid. It uses the stock hybrid system of Toyota Prius, combined with a bigger battery of Prius Alpha (mini-van version of Prius). But all other spec is just crazy... it has a RV8K Formula-Nippon(Japan) engine, mounted somewhere around the rear seat, making this car a MR layout. Toyota Prius fights in the GT300 class in 2012 Super GT.

Exactly! The engine makes way more sense over the rear wheels... Can't wait for the 2017 20-year anniversary street ready Prius replica of this car!
