Toyota did the unthinkable a few months ago when it unveiled a performance-oriented variant of the Prius. Pictured here, the 24h Le Mans Centennial GR Edition is only a concept but a new report from Japan alleges a spicy production model is on the way. Best Car<\/em> speculates it’s going to be based on the Prime version, which would imply a plug-in hybrid setup.\u00a0The standard model already makes a healthy 220 hp, an extra 99 hp over its predecessor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota has a more potent powertrain in the RAV4 Prime with a combined 302 hp on tap but the electrified SUV uses a larger 2.5-liter engine. According to the report, the Prius GRMN is said to stick to its 2.0-liter mill. Even so, a significant power bump over the regular Prime would be necessary to earn that GRMN badge. Torque isn’t mentioned but the figure would likely grow well beyond the 139 pound-feet of the standard Prius Prime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of badging, it seems a bit odd to skip the “warm” GR version and jump straight to GRMN. However, it wouldn’t be the first time considering the previous-generation Yaris supermini received the GRMN treatment without a GR variant beforehand.\u00a0The Japanese brand has several tiers of Gazoo Racing-branded products, beginning with the GR Sport limited to cosmetic tweaks and minimal hardware changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Car<\/em> claims a potential Prius GRMN would benefit from other upgrades beyond the powertrain. Aside from typical changes to the body, brakes, and suspension, the “G<\/strong>azoo R<\/strong>acing M<\/strong>asters of N<\/strong>\u00fcrburgring” could have improved structural rigidity courtesy of additional spot welding\u00a0points and a more generous use of structural adhesives. There’s no word about whether the Prius GRMN would have AWD or not but we should point out the Prime is FWD-only.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear when the Prius GRMN is scheduled to come out, but we aren’t expecting it anytime soon considering the fifth-generation model is only about a year old. It would make more sense for Toyota to introduce the Supra GRMN first, provided a new range-topping version of the coupe is indeed in the works.<\/p>\n
