Electric Can Be Outrageously Powerful
Hybrids once sounded boring, but today they’re packing turbos, and they have enough horsepower to fry tires. Along with being an eco-conscious choice, their screaming revs are as good as any other supercar’s.
Ferrari LaFerrari
Under its sleek body, the LaFerrari hides both a 6.3L V12 and an F1-style KERS hybrid system. Together they deliver 950 hp, enough to go from 0–60 in just 2.4 seconds. It even lapped Ferrari’s Fiorano track quicker than the Enzo, despite carrying hybrid tech.
Ferrari 296 GTB
The 296 GTB proves downsizing doesn’t mean compromise. A V6 engine, spinning to 8,500 rpm, joins an electric motor to deliver 819 hp and a 205-mph top speed. Cleverly, the hybrid torque fills gaps at low revs, which allows it to outpace Ferrari’s older V8 488.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance
When you think of a family car, you don’t imagine it’d come with F1 tech, do you? But this four-door beast blends a roaring V8 with electric punch, providing 831 hp in total, and rocketing to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. It’s heavy, sure, but it’s also the fastest AMG sedan ever.

Porsche 918 Spyder
The 918 Spyder pairs a 4.6L V8 with two electric motors, producing 887 hp. It can quietly drive 19 miles on electricity alone, then explode to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Its biggest headline came in 2013—setting a 6:57 Nurburgring lap, the fastest road car time then.
Koenigsegg Regera
Koenigsegg skipped the gearbox entirely in the Regera. Its Direct Drive system channels 1,500 hp straight from a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors to the wheels. That seamless torque, which peaks at 1,475 lb-ft, pushes the car beyond 255 mph and still remains hybrid-efficient.
Lamborghini Sian FKP 37
Instead of batteries, the Sian uses a supercapacitor to deliver instant 34-hp jolts alongside its 807-hp V12. Charging ten times faster than conventional cells, and the all-wheel system enhances traction during launches. It became Lamborghini’s first-ever hybrid.

Polestar 1
Torque was this car’s calling card—738 lb-ft from a turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder with dual motors. The 619-hp Polestar 1 sprinted to 60 in 4.2 seconds, and in a daring debut for Volvo’s performance offshoot, it can also cover 60 miles on electricity alone.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Ferrari’s SF90 pairs a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for a grand total of 986 hp, launching it to 211 mph. Drivers can flick between silent EV cruising and V8 thunder, and at Fiorano, it proved almost as quick as the LaFerrari—lagging behind just by 0.2 seconds.

McLaren Speedtail
Built for ultimate speed, the Speedtail produces 1,036 hp and stretches to a record 250 mph. In Velocity Mode, its body lowers and airflow streamlines perfectly, but crosswinds can unsettle the long tail. Inside, a three-seat cockpit makes it one of McLaren’s rarest creations.

Aston Martin Valkyrie
The Valkyrie is essentially Formula 1 technology let loose on the road. A 6.5L V12 hybrid makes 1,160 hp, while active suspension recalibrates a hundred times per second. With minimal driver aids, controlling it at 220 mph relies on sheer skill, not electronics.
Mercedes-AMG ONE
The AMG ONE carries a genuine Formula 1 engine adapted for the street. Its 1.6L turbo V6 and four electric motors combine for 1,049 hp, with electrics erasing turbo lag. Though fussy in daily use, it stormed the Nurburgring to set AMG’s fastest lap.

McLaren Artura
As McLaren’s first series-production hybrid, the Artura combines a 3.0L V6 with a lightweight axial-flux motor that weighs just 34 pounds but adds 94 hp. Together, they produce 671 hp and 205 mph capability; however, its sharp mid-engine balance can snap into oversteer unexpectedly.
Aston Martin Valhalla
Aston Martin shaped the Valhalla using Formula 1 expertise. Its hybrid V8 delivers 1,064 hp and pushes to 217 mph. Active aerodynamics apply 1,323 pounds of downforce at speed, and lightweight carbon construction drops total mass under 3,649 pounds, giving Valhalla sharper reflexes than rivals.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid
A luxury sedan weighing over two tons shouldn’t launch to 60 in 2.9 seconds, but Porsche’s Panamera hybrid does. Its 771-hp plug-in V8 also manages 196 mph and 25 miles of silent range. The record Nurburgring lap for sedans in 2020 belongs to this E-Hybrid.

Zenvo Aurora
Choice is unusual in hypercars, yet the Aurora offers it: rear-drive insanity or all-wheel-drive composure. Zenvo’s 1,850-hp V12 hybrid makes 280 mph plausible, though either setup demands skill few possess. At just 3,190 pounds, Aurora delivers one of the strongest power-to-weight ratios in road-car history.
Hongqi S9
China skipped baby steps and went straight for a hypercar. The Hongqi S9 combines Italian design with a V8 hybrid delivering 1,400 hp and a 249-mph top speed. Without traction control, planting your foot risks spinning tires into smoke instantly.
