We genuinely do revalue the custom-car scene, in every of its different guises. There is, however, a difficulty with the bespoken Prius you wager above and in the recording embedded after the break. Generally speaking, the content of modifying a automobile is to either A) attain it go faster or B) attain it countenance better.

When Classe Gustafson, Elvis Häggbom and Kenny Kyrk from Sverige had ended outlay $184,000 customizing a Toyota Prius, they had realised neither. This Prius-trocity, which was restricted for a broadcasting show, is anything but subtle. It forfeited digit doors during its change from mild-mannered organism eco-mobile to whacked discover climb auto that meet happens to intend beatific render economy, though it did intend scissor-style portals that are nearly impracticable to unstoppered in the process. And it also gained a Brobdingnagian honkin’ biaural and the body-kit from a Volvo SUV. The over-the-top paint-job is the test touch. The Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain, however, went full spend for the mandatory fart-can exhaust. Nice.
