I heard that the new Prius is actually faster than the last-generation Prius?

While I wouldn't go racing for pink slips just yet, you heard correctly. Toyota managed to shave a full second off the Prius 0-60 time, which now sits at a claimed…wait for it…9.8 seconds. Ussein Bolt could probably beat this car in the 100 meter dash, but that's not really the point of the Toyota Prius is it?
