Toyota_Prius_Plus_001

The words “Prius” and “Racing” don’t exactly go together like Peanut butter and Jelly.

But Toyota has given the Prius the TRD treatment as part of a almost $3000. factory upgrade TRD package.

For your TRD money you get:

– 17-inch alloy wheels in with a new five-spoke design with low-profile 215/45R17 tires

– a sports-tuned suspension

– a seven-piece ground effects kit

– four colors including Blizzard Pearl, Classic Silver Metallic, Black and Winter Gray Metallic

– new rear sway bar
