I’m totally feeling weird when see the picture of this vehicle. And it make me surprised that this is Toyota Prius camper can conversion that will be show at 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon. It is very wacky vehicle that called ‘Campinn’. The transformation from the hybrid cool car to this vehicle use of Fibre Inforced Plastic (FRP) and the car increase length to 4,980mm and height to 2,050mm.
Maybe it look funny but maybe in future it will become a great vehicle… Just wait and see..
