Its been rumored that Toyota has been considering a coupe version of its popular Prius hybrid and thanks to Honda’s upcoming CR-Z hybrid coupe, it may become a reality.
The newest reports claim that Toyota is working on a 2+2 hybrid coupe based on the Prius that will feature an upgraded version of the 1.8L engine in the current Prius with around 136 horsepower. More horsepower obviously means that the coupe version will have slightly lower mpg numbers. The overall length of the coupe is expected to be about 100mm shorter than the regular Prius. The interior will also largely carryover.
The Prius-based coupe is expected to be released in mid-2012.
