The Toyota Prius racecar will participate in Japan’s Super GT racing series in 2019.www.nairaland.com/attachments/8293733_images4_jpeg_jpeg9f47bf0b994a4097d89d18197817d3e2

In Japan, the Super GT racing series takes production cars from predominantly Japanese domestic manufacturers and transforms them beyond almost all recognition into crazy looking racing cars. The Prius race car you just didn’t picture is actually taking part in the series lower-class GT300 series for the 2019 season and the video of it undergoing testing published Wednesday is getting our heart pumping.

This racing version Toyota’snarcolepsy-on-wheels Prius indeed packs a mid-mounted, naturally-aspirated V8 that normally sees duty in the Lexus RC-F GT3 race car. Unlike some fancypants European (or Ford Shelby GT350) flat-plane V8, this engine is a cross-plane crankdesign like most production car V8 engines and as such it sounds burly and mean.

We never thought we’d ever have occasion to say this after we found out about the Hellcat-powered 9-second drag Prius, but we now have a new favorite V8-powered Prius and dangit, this one handles.

The design of the prius wasn't built for racing, take that pure water at high speeds through a corner and see it roll into a sausage.

V8 + tall vehicle + soft suspension = disaster
