They are not the first and they will not be the last. These two Toyotas, a RAV4 and a Prius, were provided with styling packages to bring them, respectively, and as far as possible, to a Lamborghini Urus and a Ferrari FF.
The reasons behind this strand in the vast world of automotive customization may escape many of us, but the truth is that it still has many fans. The end results range from the visual atrocity to the surprisingly pleasant — remember the Mitsuoka Rock Star, the MX-5 that wanted to be a Corvette?
And like Mitsuoka, these style packs could only come from Japan, from a brand called Albermo.
The two copies we bring you are, for now, the only ones available in the Albermo catalogue, but it doesn't look like they're going to stop there.

Toyota "Urus"
behind the appellation XR51 we found the styling package that transforms the face of the Toyota RAV4. Taking advantage of the already angular design of the Japanese SUV, the addition of the new bumper made in the image of Lamborghini's super-SUV can even momentarily deceive the most attentive observer (if we see it from the front, obviously).
The package is available in three parts — front, back and sides — which can be purchased separately. It is the most expensive front part, around 1200 euros, which includes the bumper (not painted). For an additional around 70 euros, the grills on the left and right gain a honeycomb net.
The rear part comprises part of the bumper (unpainted), with a more aggressive appearance, for around 680 euros. The side of this style pack includes four-piece frames for around 140 euros.
Toyota "FF"
The Toyota Prius subject to this modification hardly passes for a Ferrari FF, but Albermo's effort must be recognized — it doesn't even lack the tricolor strip in this example with the colors of the Italian flag. Denominated SP42 , this style pack, as we saw in the previous one, is also divided into parts, although here only two.
So, at the front, the bumper is again the protagonist, which adopts a huge central air intake in the image of the Ferrari FF — which saw its place taken by the GTC4Lusso —, getting just over 940 euros. At the back we can see a kind of rear diffuser that costs around 680 euros.
For those interested, it should be noted that, however, Albermo does not guarantee the operation of systems such as the Toyota Safety Sense with the addition of some of these elements (front bumper), although it also provides accessories such as a cover for the radars and cameras that these models can bring. The price of the style is high…
