The new Toyota Prius is many things. It is cheap to run, it is very worthy, and it is also somewhat challenging to look at it.Japanese tuner Wald International has given itself the task of fixing that latter issue with this really very distinctive body kit. It has slammed a Prius, and we really don"t know what to make of it.Wald has a long history of tuning the Prius, but for Toyota"s mk4 hybrid, it"s gone wackier than usual. So as well as some ginormous 20-inch wheels (different each side, see, to show off two of Wald"s designs), there"s some extended side skirts and many extra aesthetic elements both front and rear.Among the more incongruous additions are dive planes at the front like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, or many racecars and a third brake light reminiscent of Formula 1 rain lights. There is also a massive diffuser, which you could safely describe as over engineered for a car with 121bhp and a 112mph top speed.
