That car is actually set up to minimize drag. The modifications are similar to those on the solar powered cars. I wouldn't doubt that this guy is a hyper-miler or whatever they call the guys that go for extreme gas mileage. The tires are probably overinflated as well. Weird looking but I think its kinda cool to try and maximize gas mileage.
Saw one on I-285 the other day.
That guy is a Jim Ellis employee. I see that thing at Jim Ellis Chevrolet all the damn time.
I bet he has nitrogen in his tires to maximize mileage.

Are you sure, looks like just a prius with an ugly azz body kit and some smoked lights. I mean really if you got a prius how could you not be satisfied with your gas mileage already.Originally Posted by Capt._Ron
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
ya the guy driving looked like a N-Nancy.
LOL salt flats, that's pretty funny.
I love this prius!
there is always room for improvement with fuel economy. go check out some hypermiling websites. people go huge lengths for some ridiculously efficient vehicles. the cover over the rear wheels and disc hub caps on the front are common. Lots of people will chop tops, build boat tails, completely seal the front grill, underbody panels, etc. just to eek out a few more mpg's. Having a car that gets 50mpg is great, but why not get 60mpg? or 70? or 80?
^ well like i said the guy that was driving it looked like he just did it for the looks^
that thang looksth fabulouth!!
All that effort, even the mirrors are gone but he left the rear wiper and the antenna?
it looks pretty sexy and functional.

The Carbon Fibered R6

he should have used these
Same car buddy.. Only one for MANY MANY Miles.. more like until you reach the coast line on the other side of the USA
Wiper .. yeah might need to see behind him.
antenna- to small to creat enough drag to screw up MPG.
no need for mirriors when you have cameras
Where? he is?. who might the masked rider be???????????????????

That civic gets 95mpg.... pretty amazing really.
Life is a thought, think about it.
I've seen this guy at Jim Ellis Volkswagen. Looks like he's "upgraded" since I took this picture. That rear bumper treatment actually looks pretty good.
I think it's pretty clever, what he's doing. For those wondering about the wing mirrors; he's got convex mirrors mounted on the inside and I think he has one of those really big wide-angle rear-view mirrors.
