I cant see the Prius and its hybrid system being built without some help from Toyota if not a lot. Especially if Toyota do not want the name to be damaged by a half assed effort so I would think the factory would have a lot to do with the car if not designing and building the car themselves. Id be guessing the hybrid system is not a simple thing to design and build, what tuner has that capacity?

Speaking of Toyota, any news and pics of 2012 SC430 yet?
