(Photo: Toyota Canada) Thousands flock to green pastures and bales of hay to watch historic racing cars tear up Lord March's private tarmac in an attempt to set the fastest time.

is that 3.7 MILLION dollars canadian?? ok anyway... great article!!! i want one!! As a final note, Toyota stated it was very pleased about the economy of the Prius GT racer. Despite the extra power, the GT actually maintained the same fuel economy rating as the stock Prius, providing that it was driven at normal speeds. also like the paint job!
Yep, sure is million. Those cars with history always can pull in a good haul. I'd be really curious if the Prius was worth that much, though. :mrgreen:
well the Prius is priceless to me. but i doubt that Toyota would think its worth that much even in prototype mode. but you never know.
The price quoted was for the Jag and the Euro is at about 1.64 to the Canadian dollar. So I wish they were my banker and converting my account to Euro's!
