Toyota Prius race car
Article Abstract:
A test drive of Toyota's new Prius at the Higashifuji proving ground in 2003 is described. Toyota expects to sell 300,000 hybrid vehicles worldwide by 2005 and hence it built three Prius race cars with the help of Toyota Racing Development, which runs all the company's Japanese race cars, with the Prius being the first 'race car' ever that can be run in a short 15-to-20 minute sprint race.
