What you're looking at is possibly the ultimate
"Sleeper Prius", and at the same time, one of the quickest 1/4 mile
cars present at this year's SEMA Show.
Aside from having a 6.2-liter Hellcat V8, the guys
over at American Racing Headers (ARH) added a 4.5-liter Whipple supercharger
and a one-off trick exhaust system, estimating over 1,000 HP as the end result.
The engine is mated to a six-speed Tremec Magnum
transmission, tweaked to handle the additional power. Other custom parts
include the high-performance rolling gear, custom shocks, brakes, aluminum
panels and floor, plus a full NHRA-certified tube chassis.
All together, this Prius will be about 590 kg lighter than a stock Hellcat, and ARH expects it to run into the 8s at
the drag strip, meaning it would destroy stock supercars and even hypercars in
a straight line.
