@@qwertz4035 didn't see your reply. It's a "planetary gear set" like a Ford Model T transmission, or an old school pencil sharpener. With only three parts; an outer ring gear - powered by the big electric motor driving the wheels, a planetary gear set that spins inside the ring gear powered by the engine, and a central sun gear controlled by the small electric motor - the combination of all 3 let's the Prius do what it does. It can generate (⚡) and use (🔋⛽) two different energy sources in multiple ways. The small electric motor not only generates electricity from the engine, it can instantly set the gear ratio of the engine at any speed (even as a reverse gear). For such a complex yet simple and fascinating gearbox in the Prius - it had often been over looked or willingly dismissed
Wide open throttle for so much of the lap! Cars I learned to drive in were old/not much power, but fun to drive and you could do a lot within the speed limit :)
It sure doesn't like being driving like that, but at normal speeds, driven normally, it's actually very good. I've had my gen 2 prius for 10 years now, best car I've ever had.
Oh that poor little 1.5L screaming its head off, especially when his electric buddy stopped helping. Still looks like like much fun, with the occasional scary moment like 11:00. I hope it didn't start using oil after this adventure. I have a 16yr old gen Prius, and I've always had it in the back my mind to do this with it. Having seen this, I don't think I will, except maybe on the last day before I sell it.
The 1nz-fxe in the old Prius is a version of the 1nz-fe which can go to more rpm. The Prius throttle body only goes 60% open max and 5000 rpm limited according to my scan tool
Perfect vehicle for an instruction video. Lots of time to explain the line and braking points and you could have the turn names onscreen for longer than just a second.
They'd make sure that was the outcome, wouldn't they? Top Gear (or... was) funny, but I'd take any "information" they presented with a large 50kg bag of salt.

ive always thought the prius was cool besides how slow they are. i mean if teslas can be fast and a prius has less battery weight and a hybrid powertrain instead imagine how fast a prius would be with faster motors. maybe tune the engine to give a little more power too.
@@Jacobtheunwise the prius was designed assuming most of your driving is at partial power. Highway holding steady at 65, or city streets at 40 for example. That's very easy to do for a 70hp engine, so it can spend a little extra power to recharge the batteries for the next acceleration. Going full throttle though forces the ECU to pull power from the battery until there's nothing left, and you're already asking the max out of the engine, it has none to spare to recharge the battery.
@@toyotaprius79 That's impressive. I would have assumed more consumption. I thought the hybrid system only really saves fuel in the city. because the engine turns off when you are stoped and the electric motor gets you going. Thats when a normal car wastes the most fuel. In stop and go traffic.
@@patricknintemann924It's still a very efficient engine, though it's true that the hybrid system doesn't do much while holding steady. The idea behind a hybrid system is that it allows you to undersize an engine. An small engine working harder is generally more efficient than one being choked off through the throttle plate. Anytime you need more power, the electric motor can boost you through. Whenever you don't need the extra power, the ECU can move the engine load into a more efficient zone to recharge the batteries. Cars without hybrids need a much more powerful engine in order to cover every possible situation on its own, and is oversized for steady state. Which is why they only start to become efficient at highway cruising, where you're working the engine more. Eco-turbos are utilizing the same logic. You can undersize an engine for steady state, and spool up the turbo when you need more power. Though it's obviously less flexible since it can't bank excess energy

@@banaana1234 Yeah, I'm not sure how it works, but the engineers who program probably know what they are doing. Most CVT equipped cars aren't sports cars it should be noted. Though as I mentioned, they can easily revert to no simulated shifts depending on the driving conditions.
But this is not the ultimate in battery performance. The Prius has a small battery and is only using maybe 50% of the battery capacity (to reduce aging and to be able to keep the same performance in a 10 year old car as a new, since the lost capacity comes from the reserved oart and not from the end-user capacity) Different cars are designed for different needs, and a big top speed was not part of the goal for the Prius. It's like riding in an old car from former East Germany and use as reference for what a petrol car is capable of.
@@perwestermark8920 Prius top speed is actually limited to 170 kph due to MG1 (Motor Generator 1) rotation speed. On the autobahn it goes up to that speed without a sweat and stays there, fuel use at that speed is about 6L/100km. On the Lexus GS450h for example they overcome the MG1 max speed by adding a 2 speed gearbox.
To all guys here that are not aware since the next generation Prius from 2010 and above the transmission is different and overall set up is different, the cars doesn’t whine that much , they have more pulling power and way better to drive. But yeah it’s fun for sure 👌🚗✌️
Get a Thornton tuner chip for your Prius. I put the stage 3 in my first generation Prius and on a Dyno it's putting 150 horsepower to the wheels. Not only did the horsepower go up but it charges much faster. I do 75 most of the time on the highway and I still get 34 miles to the gallon with the Thornton tuner chip.

the good old CVT transmission, for when you love people coming up to you saying 'Mate i think your clutch is slipping badly'

It's a planetary gearbox, like a Ford Model T.
@Be Low Below yup, it's a eCVT.
