However, not everyone is drawn to the
Lamborghini brand, which is why the company also offers something that might
appeal to Ferrari fans.
This is the SP42 body kit for the Prius,
and if you haven’t guessed already, it draws inspiration from the Portofino.
Just like the XR51 option, the add-on components are designed to work
seamlessly with the Prius’ stock headlamps, parking sensors and Toyota Safety
Sense suite.
Included in the package is a new bumper
that mimics the one you’ll find on Ferrari’s sporty convertible, although you
won’t get the prancing horse logo – the tuner’s emblem is fitted instead. As
for the rear, the default shape of the Prius makes it rather difficult to
implement the Portofino’s circular taillights, so it gets a half spoiler and
diffuser instead.
The price for the kit is 178,000 yen sans painting and installation fees, but if you don’t have a Prius to
send in for the modification, the company can sort things out for you. For an
undisclosed amount, it will source a brand-new, facelifted Prius in S guise and
throw in the SP42 kit, a nine-inch Alpine touchscreen head unit, Pentagon floor
mats, an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) system, RS-R lowering springs and a
set of 19-inch RAYS Volk Racing wheels with Nitto NT555 tyres.
