Following picture came from unreliable Japanese magazine, so next PRIUS is not like this. http://car.biglobe.ne.jp/bestcar/ Ken@Japan
Thanks for the great pic. What's up with the 2 huge front opening. Supercharger/turbo air intake or brake cooling? Maybe toyota able to stuff a massive Brembo Brake system on the car and a Turbo+Supercharger engine. Hmm, I'm predicting 0 - 60mph in less than 3 sec. and still archive 100+ mpg. Tesla, a new competitor is coming. :lol: :lol:
Hmm, that actually looks more real and less concepty than the other futurePrius pics I've seen. I think I like it other than those big square intakes - any pics from other angles?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tiger roach @ May 11 2007, 10:16 PM) [snapback]439847[/snapback]</div> Not available from other angles. I think they had a lack of PhotoShop budget. Anybody found the fog lamps are squinter? What a poor PhotoShop editor! Ken@Japan
If you continue on that site, you get the back view of the Prius (not the green car!): http://car.biglobe.ne.jp/bestcar/scoop/img/scoop_0223_1.jpg
That's the new WRC Edition Prius. Has AWD and turbos. Even has piping for NO2 bottles! Seriously, though, that would be one sweet looking Prius, albeit un-aerodynamic at best. I know I know! They have a new wind generator setup to allow the airflow passing through to create more electricity when you're cruising at high speed! On another note, that photo looks like a photochop...did anyone else notice that those headlamps look like the units on the nose of the new Lancer?
wait Ken, are you serious or sarcastic? The red car looks like a Gen 2 Sienna. The FT-HS pic in the link looks sweeet!

Ohh ok. The front does. Hard to see the rest of the car but it looks like a tall hatch.. maybe a smaller version of the Caldina or like a Premio. Toyota confirmed it?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ken1784 @ May 11 2007, 07:51 AM) [snapback]439814[/snapback]</div> Perhaps a more agressive front end to compete with D-C. I like the speculation about brake venting and recharging the battery. Maybe also better cabin cooling? Could they paint shark teeth on it? Lose the lights in the ducts.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ May 13 2007, 05:52 AM) [snapback]440698[/snapback]</div> Do you think so? I doubt it. Ken@Japan
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ken1784 @ May 13 2007, 01:37 AM) [snapback]440968[/snapback]</div> Well there have been rumours that Toyota officials confirmed some type of "sports car" was under development.
