Toyota Prius Plug-in TRD sets Nürburgring lap record

Three-digit records are nothing new at the Nürburgring, the go-to location when car manufacturers want to prove the pace of their latest models, but until now, these feats have always been about miles per hour, not miles per gallon. Toyota turned tradition on its head when it took its Prius Plug-in hybrid to the track, setting out to show not how fast the car could go, but just how little fuel it could use on a single lap of the notorious Nordschliefe.

Но не по скорости – модель третьего поколения отправили на знаменитый трек ради рекорда экономичности.
