Hello everyone. I love GT games and Toyota Prius, sadly few people share my taste for this particular car. I first started has a joker (I still am), but then I really started to like this little energetic car. It handles ok, the speed isn`t that bad considering it doesn`t have a big V8 or a V-Tech engine, looks ok and, well, is that green friendly thing. Therefor, I wish to share with you my love for this car, and leave a question: Am I the only Prius lover around here? Don`t get me wrong, I love F1, big V8 engines, pollution, everything, but why not like this one? This is the most hated car worldwide (I believe), let me try to change your mind showing you my own Prius Collection.


1º - Toyota Prius

Well, nothing you guys don`t already know. It`s the stock Prius, looks simple and family like, being environment friendly also gives it an advantage. I like to drive it around when I`m most bored, that way when I stop driving it, the pervious boredom looks entertaining.

2º - Toyota “Green Hell” Prius

This is my first modified Prius to drive around on a regular Nurburgring trackday. It was made to take the Nurburgring to it`s very limit. This Prius fails to deliver that.

3º - Toyota “Dirt Rally” Prius

The most insane and monstrous rally car out there. Takes on any dirt track you put him in! Only has one problem. This Prius had a bad childhood. It`s an ultra sensitive soul. So every time it sees a tree, it tries to hung them. The results are inevitable.

4º - Toyota “ Rich Boy “ Prius

Every rich guy`s dream car! Completely made of gold. It`s now so heavy due to the high amount of gold that the engine doesn`t actually have power to make it move anymore.

5º - Toyota Prius Touring Car

The regular racing Prius. It has the dream to become an F1 car.

6º - Toyota “Tokio Drift“ Prius

The best drift car GT6. Tire smoke, slides, donuts, everything! A true drift legend. Sadly it was considered a bastard car by Toyota due to the high amount of tire smoke emissions, not being able to match the minimally acceptable values.

7º - Toyota “Drag Monster” Prius

10560286_921393041209257_2093281130221482017_o.jpg

10517308_921393044542590_8930430098472160888_o.jpg


A beast of a drag car! Has so much power in the front wheels that it tries to fly while under heavy acceleration. One day it decided to actually fly away in an attempt to find its maker.

8º - Toyota “The Devil” Prius

10572045_921393094542585_7626834691243036019_o.jpg

The last on my collection, it`s a demolition derby car. Smashes everything in front of him, it’s a heartless hardcore killer. It`s so good at smashing other vehicles that Pastor Maldonaldo tried to buy it from me with a PDVSA business proposal. P.S. An Abarth 500 suffered heavy damage in the making of this photo shoot.

So this is my Prius family. This is a topic I really like to talk about on GT6 with friends and on open lobbies. If you have any Prius storys, photos or moments you could share it would be cool! Cheers! :)

HAHA! I bet the Drag Prius pic was taken while braking in reverse! No but seriously, as a car guy, no car is bad. The only problem with the Prius is the damn gearbox.

Actually it was a suspension tune, high at the front low and the back. I needed it to look like It wound be able to lift off somehow :D

I spent around 1 Million Credits on this Prius :P
 
I do have a Prius. I originally bought it to take this picture:

capturetoyotahybrid-png.174943


But I never got rid of it.

I'll sometimes drive it in an open lobby and wait to see how long it takes for somebody to mention that there is a Prius on track. One person even started bitching about it.

With the 1.10 update, it now has a number on it, because race car.
 
I tend to have a mild white hot hatred for these cars in real life. In game is a little different because I can try to kill it in any manner that can be dreamed up.

In all honesty though, I saw the episode of RoadKill on YouTube the other night where they pit the Prius against a 1975 AMC Gremlin. They end up punching a hole through the block with a connecting rod at Streets of Willow and then drive over it with a tank.

So of course I had to buy one and pound it around Streets for awhile just to be dumb.

I won't say it was fun. I wouldn't even go so far as to say that I'll do it again. It did however give me something to do in GT6 for about 10min... so there's that.

The hate for the Prius is silly. Mind you, I would never want to own one myself (I'm just not the family car type), but having driven a few examples of the last 2 generations I can say it is actually a good car. Comfortable and luxurious for a good price and the steering is very direct for its class. Just don't get the CVT version :P
 
These are the best laps I got with every Prius on SH tires...

2:39.017 - 357 pp - Toyota Prius G '09
2:44.771 - 337 pp - Toyota Aqua S '11 (known as the Prius C in the USA)
2:53.152 - 286 pp - Toyota Prius G (J) '02
3:03.362 - 285 pp - Toyota Prius G Touring Selection (J) '03



^ It's as fast as a Honda CR-Z and VW Bora V6. The hate for the Prius is unwarranted.

I don't know why or how, but the '03 Prius is 10 seconds slower than the '02.

The '03 has 78 hp in the garage but the car info screen and dealership says 75 hp so I detuned it to 63.7% to get 75 hp and the PP went from 327 to 285!

The '02 has 74 hp in the garage and 71 hp in the dealership. The car info screen says it has 57 hp + 39 from the electric motor. So should I detune it to 71 hp or 57?

These are things I wish PD would fix...

I think everyone knows by now that I really do not like the Prius. Its not because I hate hybrids (there are actually many hybrids I like) and its not solely because its sounds and looks, its the fact that its very assembly does the very thing it supposed to stop as well as the fact that there are actual Gas cars that get far better mileage then it. I don't have a problem with everyone that likes it, just the ones that feel compelled to shove this "save the planet" crap in your face and make anyone who likes gas powered cars seem like bad guys.

I wish it was legal to shoot anybody who owned a prius...

I have many cars I don't like, but not so much so that I'd want to shoot their owners. I think therapy might be necessary for you.
 
What was the paint chip you used on the Green Hell Prius and where can I get it?

The paint used on the Toyota “Green Hell” Prius was "GT6 Metallic 019". Now I`m not sure if I got that painting on a seasonal event or with the anniversary edition of the game.

Pastor tried to buy your demolition derby Prius... LoL... Greetings from Venezuela

Hehe, couldn`t resist a little joke :D Apart from the joke I do love Venezuela/Venezuelan people! Cheers!! :P


Btw guys, I found a couple of old photos from my racing Prius on GT5 Enjoy ;)
