For those who may be unaware if it, Formula 1 cars are now 'hybrids' too, via their KERS systems.

Just like NASCAR, even though it has Prius stickers does not make it anything close to a Prius.

Actually its quite close, just has very flared fenders and maybe a lower roof line.

Nothing like nascar, but all racecars have needs...ie more cooling, and much larger fenders plus downforce.

Especially in a Prius which has so little drag.

Yes, and my Fiesta has round wheels, just like a Bugatti Veyron.

Any race car that pretends to look like a production model is just a shameful marketing gimmick.
