A second-generation Toyota Prius that has been force fed a supercharged Hellcat V-8 turns the whole Prius idea completely on its head. Finished just days before the 2017 SEMA show opened this week, this anti-Prius is aptly named PriuSRT8?a mishmash of Prius and SRT8.

Built by American Racing Headers (ARH), the PriuSRT8 keeps the Prius’s basic shell intact but replaces everything else with hardware that can support a 707-hp-plus V-8 engine. In went a custom ladder frame, a four-link rear suspension, a nine-inch rear axle, a carbon-fiber driveshaft, a six-speed Tremec manual transmission, and a full roll cage.

Because the Hellcat engine on its own wasn’t insane enough, ARH bolted a bigger Whipple supercharger to it. (The engine, by the way, was sourced from FCA, but it isn’t one of Mopar’s new Hellcat crate engines.) In case it isn’t immediately obvious, the Prius is no longer front-wheel drive. The interior is completely custom, and the back seats were sacrificed to make room for the roll cage. That cuts down on the PriuSRT8’s usability, but it’s not slowing ARH down?a rep told us they plan to daily-drive the thing.
