It's A Super Prius
Solatec offers a new modification to 2004-2006 Toyota Prius'. The rooftop mounted solar panel kits consist of two flexible panels that self adhere to the car's roof and charge the hybrid's auxiliary battery through a system located behind the interior trim panels. The "Solaprius" gets a 10% boost in fuel economy bringing it's average up from 55 miles per gallon to 62 miles per gallon.
The kit sells for $2,195 and I have to say, I have the same color Prius pictured here and I think those solar panels look like racing stripes. Looks great. I'm game! Are you?
