There were to be three generations of the Prius GT, the last with a 5.4 V8 and hybrid electrification. With many podium wins and places down the decade, Toyota pulled the plug on the car after the 2021 season. From now on, apr Racing who operated the Prius GT for the carmaker, will be running a new car based the Lexus LC 500h. But a decade of Prius GTs turned road Prius owners in Japan into very proud people, ready to welly the acc
