If you are asking us whether someone has been creative with a ton of snow, the answer is no. If you are viewing this bizarre build from the side and wondering if this is some sort of humorous phallic statement, the answer once again is -you guessed it- no.
So what in the blazes is it, we hear you ask? Well, it's a Toyota Prius camper van conversion and it was unwrapped (or so to speak) at this weekend's 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon with NAPAC. And no, we are not pulling your leg – it does exist and it's available for order.
It's the wacky creation of Campinn, which specializes in these sort of builds. The transformation from going green to living in green involves the addition of a huge lump on top of the Prius, which is made entirely of Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and increases the hybrid's length to 4,980mm (196-in.) and height to 2,050mm (81.1-in.).
Inside, there's what the company describes as a living area that can be optionally fitted with retractable coffee table and/or a side sofa while doubling as a bed, and if someone happens to visit, there's also as second bed on the…second floor. Did we mention that it also gets a back door?
What will they think of next…

Yeah, right, I want to drive around town with a malignant tumor affixed to my car. "Are you happy to see me..or is that a POS popping-out all over?"
That big glass door looks safe
wtf. very ugly
Putting the original Prius tail lights on the back ties everything together nicely, doesn't it?
Not.
Great Stuff
Neatly Done
In daily bases many Japanese use Cubical Sleeper Cells...
this might be a good Idea, Actually
we might have a Problam Thou.. Because
parking space is Gold Equalled in tokyo
so..
Anyhow, to Complete the package Just add PoppUp Floters and it;s a HIT
(-:
Just when you thought a Prius couldn't look worse...
What's the price tag on this beauty?
looks like it belongs to a smurf
Baby got back!
seriously!? who would drive around with a giant woody on their car?
Order the camper top "hairdo" style in dyed black, and you got yourself a Prius Elvis campmobile...
Nothing new. My friends parents had it on their Saab 900 late 80´s.
Ridiculous and stupid.
Yeah, it might work for the Japanese given their indullable work ethic and culture that can accomadate sleeping in cubicles.
But not everything the Japanese invent turns to gold, as illustrated above.
This is not a camper, its more of a sleeper, all my campers always had a fridge , stove , toilet, this has 2 beds and nothing else yawn, just buy a regular Prius and fold the seats down and sleep in your car if so desperate to waste your money , or do you have buddies coming over for a sleep over ? hope they don't have to pee ......
They may be able to successfully market the red/white tri-striped mattress for the folded down rear seats...
for $50 or less?
I think the house trailer is much better than this.
This kind of car looks funny but very cool. It is unique I think.
owww. i want to have one haha
Don't be so hard on yourself.
This could have been done more geometrically or there could be a reason to build like this, but anyhow this could be quality as 'Made-in-Japan' works.
wow...the prenis
I find the lack of a toilet disturbing.
nice idea. thanks for sharing...
salam kenal ya gan
Pretty bizarre designed van-car. I wonder how the passenger come out from the car
If it was detachable then it might have a market - Prius owners could rent them for a couple of weeks to attach and go camping with. But to have that permanently attached to your car is a bit much.
