Now don't be fooled by the exterior, there is basically nothing Prius left as this is a complete tube chassis that's NHRA certified. There was no chance the Prius Chassis could handle the type of power the 6.2 liter Hellcat engine makes with a 4.5 Whipple strapped on top. Other highlights of this amazing build would be the six speed Tremec Transmission and beefy Midwest chassis Ford 9 inch rear end.
