Next Prius to get 94 mpg

The next Toyota Prius will offer an astonishing 113 mpg, according to a report in the U.K.’s AutoExpress magazine. (Note: 113 mpg in the U.K. is equal to 94 mpg here in North America). “The whole electrical system has been redesigned to improve economy” said a Toyota engineer was quoted as saying. “We are working on a prototype that runs solely on the electric motor in slow traffic, but switches to engine and motor drive when higher speeds are needed.” The 0-62 mph time will also be improved by more than a second, according to the report, bringing it to well under 10 seconds. Much of the improvement can be attributed to the use of lithium-ion batteries instead of nickel-hydride units. The lithium-ion batteries are smaller, lighter, and have greater electrical output.

That's actually pretty impressive a car with that mpg can go 0-60 in a sub 10 second time.

so the price of your manhood is 94mpg....I rather keep my balls and get 15 thank you very much!

Look at Musashi go. Always saying he didn't need a big V8 to prove anything and that thats why he had his 3kgt. Now he's driving 6.0L 400hp V8 and talking about the price of manhood because its a gas saver. LOL

lol

i'd take that car in heartbeat

is that with the new way of measuring mpg? The EPA is using a new testing system that takes effect in 2008 so i guess not. Most city ratings will drop by 11 to 15% with highway falling around 10%. Hybrid city ratings will come down 18-22%.

lol

I would too. I just like to give Musashi shit every now and then.

Ahh, can't pull my car around with something like that. So I'll just stick with my truck and its 20 mpg (about 14 or 15 pulling the car though).

Might even buy one in the next little bit that won't do that good! (03 or 04 3500 extended cab Chevrolet Dually).

i'd like one for my daily drive to work
and drive my vr4 on the weekends

Id want one if they didnt look sooo gay...

94mpg?? i'll take it damn near any way it looks, i need to save money!!!!

If they could sell these for $20,000 they would sell like 1 million per year easy. They would just need to find a way to make them that fast.

prius gt will have 333hp and 265pbs tq and get 60mpg

Hybrids cause smug, and smug leads to global laming.

No what i had said was that thankfully my penis was big enough for me to not need a V8.........but me and my wife discussed this at length and she said and I quote "I love you no matter what" so I traded in my penis for a smaller one and got a V8!

My nuts are still huge though :icon16:

GTO BIZNATCHES!

Yeah, I don't care if it gets 200mpg, if I can outrun it on foot, I don't want to waste my time driving it.

but...but....if you get a hybrid that goes slower than riding a bike...youll be able to save gas and eat a McRib instead of drinking water and exercising!

I mean sure, riding a bike or walkin takes NO gas, and you exercise so your in better health...but...CONVENIENCE!!!!!

hello people, the gt version is fast!!! :)

ok, but how much does it cost?

the car has a CGS concrete griping system

also has a ultra magnetic air force system that is a replacement for turbo's

priced at $39,999

it has 333hp and over 200lbs tq:icon16:

but if im going to spend 40K I would rather have...jeez...alot of other cars that are much faster. I would rather have a WRX, or my relic with more mods and a new civic?

this gt wieghs 2900lbs

Oh BULL! your putting us on.

No he's not, it also flies over trafic if you dont want to wait and it fills itself up and charges itself when it's low on fuel/electric whatever it needs. Also i hear it gives road head for the guy on the go who cant stop for anything. I once heard they were going to cancel production but it bitch slapped the engineers to finish with it's drivetrain....

^road head eh??? so in musashi's case, it's got a built in microscope?!!?!?!!

Have ya'll seen the 07 Camry Hybrid, its only get, like half of what they say the Prius will get as far as MPG, but it looks decent, with still some decent power, I wouldn't mind having one of those as a family car.

Rocker, you can kiss my shiny, metal LS2!

At least Im old enough to buy one of those Prius GTs when they come out you minor. :wink:

huh... uhhh your sister thought I was old enough last night:boink: :boink: :bananasmi

This thread reminds me of "The Loop" last night. While dude is pushing his xB, dude in Prius stops and shakes his head and says, "Electric car... never runs out of gas" then takes off. Then the dude pushing the xB says, "where the hell do you think the electric comes from." Anyway, it takes a real man to drive a hybrid... LOL

huh... uhhh your sister thought I was old enough last night:boink: :boink: :bananasmi.

ooooooooo:grinno:

huh... uhhh your sister thought I was old enough last night:boink: :boink: :bananasmi
