Toyota Hybrid Sports Car "Priapus" Gets Greenlight
[edit] Nevermind, all. It appears this is fake news, after all! [/edit]
Quote:
Call it the hybrid Volta or the inbred Priapus, either way it still smells like raw pheramones. Thanks to a 3-liter V6 augmented by dual front and rear electric motors, this car boasts a breakneck 0-60 mph in just over four seconds while still offering around 30/mpg under normal driving conditions...
Tuesday, Toyota Motors shocked industry analysts with the announcement that their critically acclaimed concept car, previously named the Volta, after the man who discovered electricity, redubbed "the Priapus" by both Car & Driver and Road & Track, will be available to consumers in Germany by Christmas 2005, and the U.S. three months later.
