Toyota’s performance division has hinted that it will reveal a high-performance model based on the Prius at Le Mans this weekend - GR Prius anybody? 👀
It's differentiated from the standard hybrid hatchback by two groups of four LED foglights, the addition of canards along each flank and an aggressive front splitter.
What's less clear is whether the powertrain will be based on the Prius Plug-in Hybrid’s 221bhp 2.0-litre petrol-electric system. If so, it will no doubt serve as a statement of intent for Gazoo's electrified future, given that its current road cars are all pure-petrol. The concept is likely to serve as an acid test for a production GR Prius, with the public reaction to it dictating whether it progresses into production.
