The Liberty Walk Prius no-one asked for

Liberty Walk is well known for creating bodykits for supercars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porches.

But the company isn’t afraid of creating a few oddballs like the Daihatsu Copen disguised as a mini Nissan GT-R.

Now the company appears to have done the impossible and managed to make the facelifted current-gen Toyota Prius even uglier.

The new look includes an aftermarket front and rear apron, side skirts, rear spoiler, plus wind deflectors.

This costs more than $3000, but option the fancy wheels and the price jumps up to a cool $6000.

An extra $3k? I'll just slap on some steelies instead thanks. (image credit: Liberty Walk) An extra $3k? I'll just slap on some steelies instead thanks. (image credit: Liberty Walk)

Add the slammed suspension and that costs $2300, but why bother when air suspension can be had for the low-low price of $10,500.

All that extra bling doesn’t result in more power (contrary to popular belief), so the Prius still sports the same 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid.

Liberty Walk also makes a kit for the previous model Prius, which you may argue looks better than this creation.
