Unbelievable Powerhouse: Customized Toyota Prius Lifts and Sips Fuel at 14km/L
Prepare to be amazed by the extraordinary custom car owned by Pisuta, aka @Shunya17V, that has been causing a sensation on social media platforms. Based on the third-generation Toyota Prius, this remarkable creation features a striking lifted design that has captivated car enthusiasts worldwide.
Social media has been buzzing with excitement as users share their awe and exclaim, “I found an Amazing Prius!” The attention-grabbing modifications and powerful presence of this custom Prius have set it apart from the rest. Pisuta himself has shared the fascinating journey behind the creation of this exceptional vehicle.
Initially purchased as a regular mode of transportation, the stock appearance of the Prius proved unbearable for Pisuta, an avid hobby car owner. Starting with a lowered Shakotan-inspired design, Pisuta gradually became drawn to the challenges and possibilities offered by a lifted customization.
Determined to prove that a lifted Prius could be just as intriguing, Pisuta embarked on the gradual process of lifting the vehicle. Unlike the limitations of a Shakotan customization, the lifted design allowed for a whole new realm of creativity. Once the lifting process began, there was no turning back, resulting in the impressive appearance the car proudly boasts today. Throughout the customization journey, Pisuta prioritized maintaining the ability to drive the Prius normally.
One notable feature of Pisuta’s customization is the intentional decision to keep the car’s body in its original state. This sets the custom Prius apart from other vehicles, even among domestic SUVs. The ability to use stock tires is a favorite element of Pisuta’s design, adding to its uniqueness.
Adding a touch of humor to the already attention-grabbing vehicle, Pisuta recently installed a “LAND CRUISER” emblem on top of the existing “PRIUS” emblem, further enhancing the car’s playful personality.
When navigating city streets, Pisuta’s custom Prius commands considerable attention. People frequently approach Pisuta at traffic lights, eager to capture photos or videos of the car. Despite its unconventional appearance, Pisuta assures that getting in and out of the vehicle is manageable. Pisuta recommends a specific technique, involving lifting the left foot, grabbing the seat and door, and jumping in with the right foot.
In terms of fuel consumption, Pisuta’s customized Prius achieves an impressive average of 13 to 14 kilometers per liter in city driving conditions. Considering the modifications made, this fuel efficiency is noteworthy. Pisuta acknowledges a slight decrease in fuel economy at higher speeds but within acceptable limits.
In a closing message to those who encounter his beloved custom car, Pisuta shares a unique perspective. “People often say, ‘You like the Prius,’ but in reality, they appreciate the aroma of gasoline, not necessarily the Prius itself. If you spot it, don’t hesitate to say hello.”
With the growing number of sightings and posts showcasing Pisuta’s Prius SUV on public roads, there’s a high chance you may come across this captivating vehicle during your own travels. Keep your eyes peeled for this attention-grabbing and boldly customized creation, destined to leave a lasting impression.
