2015 Prius To Begin Incorporating Lemans Racecar Technology

They say racing started immediately after the second car was produced and that’s probably the best thing that could happen to the automotive industry. That’s because it generated competition and helped a lot with car improvements. One of the most influential series today is endurance racing and it looks like the next-generation Toyota Prius will benefit from it.

 Toyota Motor Corp. currently leads the WEC season’s manufacturer’s championship and, according to a report from Automotive News, it is testing technology aimed to be used in the 2016 Prius hybrid.

 President of Toyota Motorsport GmbH, Yoshiaki Kinoshita, confirmed they already have tested pre-production parts for the next Prius, all aimed to increase performance and fuel efficiency.
