Four race teams – two from NASCAR and two from the NHRA – are being given stock Toyota models to customize, and Charlotte-based RKM Performance Center is going to do the honors with a Prius hybrid.
RKM and its NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer are hard at work on its so-called "Tekked-Out Prius," whose interior will get the black leather and suede treatment and whose exterior will get a new grille, lots of graphics and a bunch of other goodies. No, the engine won't be touched.
RKM and Bowyer are competing against NASCAR racer Kyle Busch (who is modifying a Camry) and NHRA drivers Anton Brown (Sequoia) and Alexis DeJoria (Tundra) for the contest-winning rights to get $50,000 from Toyota donated to the charity of their choice. Folks can vote online from October 20 to 29. The winner will be unveiled on the 30th at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. More details in the press release and video below.
