Without actually, you know, tuning anything on the powertrain of the 2010 Toyota Prius, Japanese tuning company Tommi Kaira has unveiled its tarted-up version of the third-generation iconic hybrid.

The efficient sleekness of the original front end has been replaced by a new front lip spoiler and air intakes, and the 2010 Prius' new vertical front lights get emphasized in the Tommi Kaira version, which somehow sort of works for us. The backside features a new bumper and a quad-pipe exhaust system, which sends a confusing mixed message for a car that's obviously green. Tommi Kaira has also added larger wheels and lowered the ride height for a driveway-averse stance.

No word yet on how much the package costs, but if we're going to spend extra money on a Prius, we sort of want it to go towards upping the mpg capabilities even further.

Sweet!!!

Wonder what the drag coefficient on that thing is now

thats bad ass...my guess on the kit cost is probally $5,000

And the bottom line is that it only looks fast! But who cares when you get close to 50 mpg.

that sure does look nice and dresses up a lack luster exterior although i do like the look of a stock prius.

wait until china gets the kit. it will cost $100 once it's copied.

And since it's so low, it's more encouragement to drive it slow to avoid damage to the kit.

if tommi kaira approved it or else it will be copyright

you think those manufacturers care about copy right laws. kits get copied every day. it's hard to police that kind of stuff since a new place will pop up offering a copy of the copy.
