Man Turns Toyota Prius into "Doomsday Vehicle" with Pulse Jet Engine

A creator known as Mad Max C7 has completely transformed a Toyota Prius—renowned for its fuel efficiency—into an apocalyptic "doomsday vehicle" resembling a mashup of *Mad Max* and the video game *Twisted Metal*. The build features a homemade pulsejet engine, massive rear wheels, and a steel front crash bar. The video showcasing the car has garnered over 8 million views on Facebook. Although the pulsejet engine provides negligible actual thrust, and the exaggerated wheel spacers combined with extremely low ground clearance have sparked online concerns about its safety, the vehicle’s absurd yet eye-catching design quickly went viral. Netizens joked, “It went from 55 miles per gallon to 55 gallons per mile.” Whether or not it’s drivable, it has already cemented its status as an iconic symbol of internet automotive eccentricity.
