Wald body kit for Toyota Prius

The new generation of Toyota Prius hybrid came with a cooler, a bit more sporty design than the old model, and for that reason tuners from around the world showed interest into it. The old gen was so boxy and boring that it was litrally impossible to improve its design!

This kit you see here is a job by Japanese best known tuner, Wald International. Most of heir works on high-end European cars have been great, but their kits for Japanese cars, well, let’s say they are not just as good! And so is this ostentatious kit for the Prius.

Apart from that front-end design which makes it look like a spaceship or something, it is also pointless, because people who buy Prius do not like these things, and people who do, don’t like the Prius!

Another funny thing about it, is the number of vents and grilles! It’s a hybrid for crying out loud, what are they trying to cool down?!

Toyota Prius Green by ASI

Hybrid vehicles are getting more and more popular everyday and Toyota Prius has been the king of all hybrids in the past years. That was probably the motivation for Japanese tuner ASI to come up with a tuning kit for it!

ASI calls it the Green and although they say that they’ve upgraded the car’s performance through ECU remapping, no power figures are published yet. Modifying the car’s engine would spoil the whole point of it which is fuel efficiency after all!

As for the visuals though, ASI has done a pretty darn good job. Prius Green features a cool body kit with revised bumpers and huge air intakes and extended sills which add up to the suspension lowering and drops the car closer to the ground even further.

The tuner has also put big black wheels under the car. We have to say though, these changes seem a bit odd on the Prius! This package will be available in Japaneses and American markets.

Toyota

Toyota was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda in Japan, and today is one of the most successful car manufacturing companies in the world, along with being the second largest. Furthermore, as GM might be the largest, Toyota ranks above GM for net worth and also for its sales, with revenue that outpaces GM, along with total profit and kept profit. As a spinoff company of the old Toyota Industries, Toyoda produced his first automobile in 1936 called the AA. His father, the head of Toyota Industries, helped to back his son’s research and development and allowed for the manufacturing.

Toyota has several company brands that it uses, such as Scion, Lexus, and its own name. During the Second World War the company was dedicated to production of Japanese military goods such as the military trucks used across the Empire. Because of the need for mass production the trucks were very easily assembled and extremely simplified in design. The Toyota manufacturing facilities were spared by the Japanese surrender, coming down to the wire – had the Japanese waited the allied command would have bombed the Toyota facility and surrounding infrastructure.

As soon as 1947 Toyota began again to produce domestic vehicles and continued to do so ad infinitum. During the 50’s they entered the U.S. market, well ahead of other Japanese auto makers of the time, and using developed techniques learned from the American automotive industry they soon began production of automobiles at comparable rates. With growing sales and obvious marketability Toyota opened a new R and D department in 1962, and along with that Automobile number 10,000,000 was also produced.

The 1960’s proved to be a stunning decade for Toyota and Toyoda. Because of the economical cars produced at the time in the late 60’s with their high fuel efficiency when the oil crisis hit the U.S. market Toyota became a primary seller of small and highly efficient vehicles with a larger market share driven to it by the high fuel prices. Along with Toyota of course, came Honda and the others who were also skilled in the economy car that could run with good gas mileage. At the end of the 1980s, in 1989, Toyota launched its first foray into the luxury car market with Lexus – and it was successful. Along with this Toyota began to produce SUVs and also established Scion, along with the famed Hilux/Tundra truck line. Today Toyota continued to develop new technologies and has many prototype and concept vehicles to show every year.
