No idea where exactly these pictures come from and who has carried out this conversion or is still building it and whether it is even running. But the basic idea of ​​equipping the ugly Toyota Prius with an LS1 V8 engine from the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS has something. Especially the idea of ​​tuning the engine to 800-1.000PS after installation and thus participating in quarter-mile races spontaneously makes me grin.

We know the following changes:

  • Four-cylinder series engine, transmission, battery and other additional hybrid components were thrown out
  • Engine mount V8 welded
  • Drive shaft tunnel built
  • Planned stage 2: Tearing apart the engine and the gearbox and rebuilding with performance parts
  • Main goal 800-1000 hp / 9-second quarter mile time
