I found this during a Google search (for something else related to Prius). It's a 2004 Prius Bonneville racer and did 134 MPH !!

The radio clattered with the timing report. The Prius hit the measured mile at 130 mph, crested 131 a quarter of the way through, and exited the back door around 129. The official speed: 130.794 mph. Thunderstorms rolled in before even larger tires could be tested, but the car went 134.339 with its seams and lower grille taped up, an illegal modification in a production class but okay for a car with no class.

A couple years ago some people took the Prius onto the Bonneville Salt Flats and set the current-standing world record for fastest hybrid.

Heck, I'll just Google it: http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...21/308572.html

Really? 134 mph? Did someone push it out of a plane?
