Toyota has introduced a sporty looking Sports Pack on the Prius. Optionally you can further enhance the hybrid black wheels with a carbon-look roof.
A Toyota Prius do not associate directly with sportsmanship. The new optional Sports Pack to change all that. Toyota hopes the new package sales of the Prius an impulse. Who are quite distressed by the arrival of the Auris Hybrid.

The Sports Pack comprises a bumper and side skirts and rear spoiler. According to Toyota, these additions do not affect the favorable aerodynamics of the Prius. You can supplement the package with dark alloy wheels and a roof that is made of carbon-look.
The package will be retrofitted and thus has no effect on the addition. Toyota calls for Euro 1595 Sports Pack, but that's where all the black wheels and not the colored roof. The Sports package is for existing Priuses to order but the color range is limited to black, white and silver.
