AutoLabo Prius
By Ben Schaffer
Bulletproof Automotive
The AutoLabo Prius is an actual production aero kit, not a strange sci-fi movie car. It is modified for increased aerodynamics says AutoLabo, thus increasing fuel efficiency even further than the standard Prius. You could call it eco-tuned. I wanted to cover this car because there is simply not much on the net about it. Its one of those interesting company demo cars that just slipped through the cracks of every magazine, blog and form of media out there.
AutoLabo offers the following Prius eco-tuning parts: front bumper, side skirts, rear fender skirt, rear bumper, rear carbon wing and coilover suspension
What do you think? Would you drive one of these? More pics after the jump!

I do like the rear bumper. I think the muffler is alright too. But other than that, no good.

You know with a little work, it could look way better… just blend the rear wheel covers better with the body so they acutally kind of flow with the body, and shave that door handles. I kinda like it, at least its getting away from the cookie cutter econobox look. And you cant say 45 mpg is a horrible thing, right?

Hmmm looks like a vacuum cleaner. I don’t like it Prius’ are usually only driven by old women, faggots and sailors. Atleast its better for the environment.

That’s a high performance vehicle right there. Talk about a mustang cobra killer. I would eat a yak’s ass for a car like that, especially with the body kit. Hell yeah, I give this a ten!

The rear wheels covers look hideous. But I guess the point is making it more aerodynamic like the rest of the body kit for even better fuel efficiency. I also think the fart can is too big and ugly, but it might release a bit of power to make it more efficient too.
I’d rather trick out a Prius than a stupid POS old Civic or Corolla rice burners…

Wow a prius with a body kit. Its pretty cool. the exhaust seems a bit much but its pretty cool. Maybe a paint job would do it more justice.oh and who cares what kind of car/truck you drive, if you think its cool than well its cool. Shit I drive a saturn and have owned like 5 hondas since getting the saturn. A car is a car.

armedmarine maybe you should learn how to talk before dissin anything. suck me balls? Skrew? and what the hells a Remmember leaveth epiece. I think it goes Remember leave the piece. Thank you for being a total retard. If it wasnt for retards like you we wouldnt have smart people who understand the importance of a clean enviroment and gas mileage. Please go stick your head in your exhaust pipe, breathe the diesel exhaust in and die. Thank You

Again turd tuners,,
the cat back exhaust is gay by the way since the engine is only .1 liter. It wouldnt make noise even if it took a shit on itself. All ricers are gay.

Dear Turd tuners,
wow thats soooooooooooooooooo GGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!
SOme piece of advice to who put those gaylord flares on the back wheels needs to stop being gay since the car is gay enough. Skrew the prius diesels do better mpg anyway. Prius equals gay while diesel equals kickass. Fuck your hybrids whoever likes them suck me balls. Dont ever tune out a hybrid. Did i forget to mention that HOMO Hybrids are GAY. well they are. And so are the owners. HAHAHAHAHA. You can never polish shit or wax it. Leave the piece of shit alone its smelly enough as it is. Once u take a dump, which is the Prius, dont take another shit and put a body kit on it. Im dissapointed in JDM. U can see the screws in the fender flares, So gay. The damn crap car does 0-10 mph in 2 days while doing 50 or 40 miles per gayness. If anybody has something to say respond to my awesome comment. TO all HATERS suck on it. Didnt yo mamma teach u to stop being GAY. Remmember leaveth epiece of shit in the toilet or flush it dont wax it.

Either put wheel covers on the front or take them off the back…. not bad though for a Prius….. but I prefer to get up to 45 mpg on my Corolla lol.
Kyle
Dec 4, 2008 at 3:21 pm
alot of people don’t realize that that bodykit isn’t for style like most cars but for better aerodynamics.

Dec 4, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Front bumper looks ok, back bumper looks ok, the design in all is ok, but the wheel covers in the back look stupid, And over all i think it looks stupid. Its a prius, built to save gas and the earth. Nott to be in the next fast and the furious.

Fugly…
Also, I think one of the reasons people don’t like these is that people that drive them tend to have John’s attitude. The “Well I’m saving the world by driving a hybrid and you’re killing us all with your Mustang/SUV/Truck.” If you want to drive a car that looks like a dustbuster fine by me, just don’t start telling everyone else how un eco they are.

Prius with a fart pipe huh. I knew I’d see one some day. I even saw a Scion xb with dual fart cannons once.

Does anyone know how to read Japanese??? Does this body kit IMPROVE the drag coefficient?

I actually own an ‘05 Prius. I “decided I would like the design because of it’s overall efficiency. It actually holds 4 adults more comfortably than my 98 Blazer. I have had to learn how to drive this car to obtain more MPG than anyone else I know with a hybrid. I have had to increase the tire PSI to over 40, I drive at 55 most of the time too. And I can prove I get 52 MPG. In fact, ladies… If you all drove at 55 in stead of 60, 65, 70, 75 or (my hair is on fire) 80+ you would all experience better mileage. I dare you. Just give it a try for one tank. then imagin you could be driving a car with keyless entry, bluetoot phone system, Voice activated GPS, and get over 50 MPG. Performance to me is measured by MPG not MPH. After all… Most of you drive faster than the legal speed limit anyway.

John:
Not all of us hate the Prius cause it’s green. I personally hate the Prius because it’s goddam UGLY. They could make a green car that’s a hell of a lot better looking but nooo… for it to be efficient it has to be ridiculously short, narrow, tall (can’t figure that one out) or basically compete with a dumpster when it comes to looks.
-
They can make cars that look any way they want and make them efficient, but they always seem to style them for soccer moms, retirees or urban college students, so screw ‘em… until they shake that stupidity bile will rise to my neck at the sight of these things.

Styling and aerodynamics are often conflicting features. How do you create an aerodynamic car with style? Every fuel minded consumer wants a 55mpg ride, but they also want style which adds weight and leads to poorer aerodynamics. And as one auto exec put it, “Car companies aren’t about to build the most aerodynamic fuel efficient car that no one will buy.” Personally when it came to my daily driver, I shoved style aside and started working on squeezing out fuel mileage begining with installing a custom body pan. Function before form. Driving a Festiva to work everyday does get boring. Even a Geo can out run me, but that’s ok, cause that’s more gas I can put into my Mustang and other toys on the weekends.

I’m here because i’m an automotive fan, but I like badass vehicles. And quite frankly no matter which way you like at it, the prius just isn’t badass. There is no badassedness about it. And that, my friend, is why i would never buy a prius. Maybe a tesla if they get their drivetrain together, but not a prius.
(plus i’m a truck guy so small cars in general really don’t do it for me unless their wicked fast)
John
Dec 3, 2008 at 11:36 pm
You CLOWNS that “would never buy a Prius” are fools. Do you think the 55 Corvette was a quickly accepted design? Wake up kids. This is 2008.
If you prefer to give fundimentalist haters 1/3 of your petrol dollar. KNOWING they contribute to those that would “clense the Earth” of we infidels… You might as wll just give Bin Laden a couple of Grand this year.

If i saw one of those i would just say wtf, what douche is trying to rice out a prius. Not to say anthing bad about the tuner scene, but seriously, you’re not gonna make it go fast, it’s just like putting a wing and fart can on a civic and saying it’s a tuner car. It’s a freakin prius, nobody’s going for style points when they buy a prius. At least i hope not.
In short..I would never drive a prius.

I’ve seen worse, but make that statement in a mindset detached from my personal preferences, mainly that I wouldn’t ever buy a Prius.

nonetheless, for a commercial aero kit it could have looked worse.

Might I ask what is the purpose of the fart cannon on the Prius?
I’m not liking the rear diffuser on it either.
