Toyota Prius G Sports Concept

This sporty Toyota Prius G Sports Concept has been unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Like the FT-86 G Sports Concept also shown at the show, it is designed to highlight a new range of tuning accessories that Toyota will start selling through its G Sports offshoot in Japan later this year.

New Toyobaru concept revealed

Although the Prius's drivetrain remains unchanged, the car sits on suspension lowered by 30mm, and has what Toyota calls sports brakes.

It also gets a new aero kit, including a rear wing, rear wheel covers, side skirts, carbonfibre mirrors and underbody aero parts, plus a new rear bumper, twin exhausts and a sports exhaust system.

Other kit includes LED daytime running lights and larger alloys.

Inside, there's Recaro sports seats, a leather steering wheel, aluminum pedals, a new dashboard and a G-Sports branded gear lever and start button.

Except for the spats over the rear wheels , it looks better,but it's never going to be sporty.
