I found this during a Google search (for something else related to Prius). It's a 2004 Prius Bonneville racer and did 134 MPH !! [attachmentid=9371] http://www.caranddriver.com/features/8695/...got-hybrid.html 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/2004/12/21/308572.html http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_ne...21_toyotaprius/

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(FloridaWen @ Jul 2 2007, 07:38 AM) [snapback]471436[/snapback]</div> Really? 134 mph? Did someone push it out of a plane?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(burritos @ Jul 2 2007, 11:22 AM) [snapback]471539[/snapback]</div> The acceleration rate was logged at 9.8 meters-per-second squared.
