Given the mission of the Toyota Prius, not to mention its technical complexity, it's not a huge surprise there isn't a lot of tuner work being done on the Toyota hybrid. Oh sure, there are a couple customized Prii floating around, but this example from Sweden totally blows out anything ever done before. According to tuner Classe's Garage, the only thing unchanged is the chrome grille trim. The build took eight weeks and $184,275. Are they effing serious?! Sure the paint is off the charts, the interior has more doo-dads and gadgets than a space shuttle, and its got crazy body mods, but holy crap! Check out the video of this obscene Prius below the fold while we try to catch our breath.
