Post Toyota Prius by AutoLabo

http://www.4wheelsnews.com/toy...olabo/






Appearing to be coming out of a science-fiction film, the AutoLabo Prius is in fact an actual production aero kit. It is enhanced for boosting aerodynamics says AutoLabo, hence making it fuel cost-effective more than the regular Prius. Eco-tuned would be a better name for it. There is nothing much said of this vehicle on the Internet. It has somehow escaped the attention of media outlets. Eco-tuning offering by AutoLabo includes a front bumper, side skirts, rear fender skirt, rear bumper, coilover suspension and a rear carbon wing.

I just lost my breakfast.

Those rear skirts look like trash can lids.

Or maybe giant toilet seats...
