Toyota, Build The Le Mans Prius So I Can Feel Something Again

This year is a special one for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The legendary French endurance race is running its centennial anniversary edition. To mark the occasion, Toyota unveiled the Prius 24h Le Mans Centennial GR Edition.

The Prius 24h Le Mans Centennial GR Edition reimagines the look of the venerable hybrid to make its connections to Toyota’s race-winning hybrid sports prototypes more apparent.
