Best hybrid sports cars 2025

A decade ago, hybrids were all about boring efficiency. Cars like the Toyota Prius and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV were practical, economical – and pretty forgettable. Now, hybrid sports cars are flipping that script, using electric motors to serve up the kind of instant torque that traditional petrol engines only dream about. Turbo lag? Gone. Acceleration? Brutal. Just look at the Mercedes C 63 S E-Performance or the Volkswagen Golf GTE – proof that hybridisation isn’t just saving fuel, it’s making cars faster, sharper and a whole lot more fun.

Beyond the obvious performance gains, hybrid tech in sports cars also offers better fuel economy, lower emissions and in some cases, useful electric-only range. That means fewer trips to the petrol station and more money left in your pocket. These added perks prove that hybrid sports cars aren’t just about thrills – they can be practical, too.

But let’s not kid ourselves – hybrid sports cars are still rarer than hen’s teeth. Fully electric models are starting to break into the market and old-school petrol icons continue to dominate, while hybrid sports cars are often confined to painfully expensive, but brutally quick, niches… as we show below.

Read on to find our list of the best hybrid sports cars chosen by our team of expert road testers. If you’re after a sports car with the rapid acceleration that can only be found with a full EV, then read through our page of the best electric sports cars.

1. McLaren Artura

7

• Prices from £189,200
• 0-62mph in 3.0 seconds

The McLaren Artura may not be the British brand’s first hybrid supercar – that honour goes to the now-legendary P1 – but it’s certainly impressive, nonetheless. Packing a 7.4kWh battery, the plug-in hybrid Artura is able to travel up to 19 miles on electric power alone. If you decide to fire up its V6 engine, the Artura produces an impressive 671bhp and will get from 0-62mph in just three seconds. 

What truly makes the Artura stand out, however, is its communicative steering and surprisingly comfortable ride for a supercar, which almost makes it possible to drive every day – if you can live with the low ride height and lack of storage space, that is.

2. Ferrari 296 GTB

7

• Prices from £241,550
• 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds

You may be surprised to hear that even Ferrari has succumbed to lowering its overall emissions by making a hybrid, but the 296 GTB is a brilliant example of how adding electric power can benefit performance, without sapping any kind of driver enjoyment. The 296 sits below another hybrid, the SF90 Stradale in the Prancing Horse’s line-up and offers up to 15 miles of pure-electric range. 

Despite weighing in at around 1.5 tonnes, the 296 feels incredibly nimble and responsive and is surprisingly easy to drive fast. Just be ready to empty your wallet, as at over £240,000, the V6 hybrid sports car is one of the most expensive models on this list.

3. Porsche 911 GTS

7

• Prices from £149,100
• 0-62mph in 3.0 seconds

The new Porsche 911 GTS is proof that hybrid technology doesn’t have to compromise the essence of a 911. With 534bhp and 610Nm of torque, it storms from 0-62mph in three seconds flat. The hybrid system focuses entirely on performance, filling in gaps so effectively that the turbocharged engine feels like a naturally aspirated masterpiece.

It might be one of the heaviest Carreras ever, but you wouldn’t know it from behind the wheel. The adjustable dampers keep the ride composed over rougher roads, and the handling is as sharp as ever. It feels planted, predictable and endlessly rewarding to drive. Porsche’s first hybrid 911 is nothing short of brilliant – even the die-hard Porsche enthusiasts will struggle to find fault.

4. Lamborghini Revuelto

7

• Prices from £433,000
• 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds

Lamborghini’s Revuelto hybrid blends the V12 power we all love with hybrid tech. It’s the next chapter in the brand’s supercar lineage, packing a 6.5-litre V12 and three electric motors that combine for 1,001bhp and 725Nm of torque. Sure, the electric range is minimal, but those six or seven miles are enough to quietly zip through towns and cities before the V12 wakes up and shows just how insane this car can be. The Revuelto can hit 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds and go over 217mph, but it's also more comfortable than expected, with adaptive suspension allowing for a more forgiving ride than previous Lambos.

While the performance is incredible, it's still a Lamborghini – dramatic, loud and with some quirks, such as inconsistent brakes and an awkward interior. Those minor flaws are easily overshadowed by the thrill of driving a hybrid supercar that still feels like a classic Lambo.

5. Bentley Continental

7

• Prices from £186,900
• 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds

The Bentley Continental GT Hybrid combines immense luxury with impressive performance. Its V8 engine and electric motor together produce 771bhp and 1,050Nm of torque, offering an exhilarating drive. With up to 50 miles of electric-only range it is possible to do most of your daily driving in electric mode, but with the glorious V8 available, why would you want to? The all-wheel-drive system allows it to handle with ease, delivering smooth power and rapid acceleration.

Inside, the cabin showcases Bentley's luxurious design, featuring high-quality materials and a modern infotainment system. The front seats offer excellent comfort and the overall ambiance is excellent, with the notable absence of any road or wind noise in the cabin and the only audible note being the burble of the V8 – although that is not a hardship.

6. Mercedes AMG SL 63 E Performance

7

• Prices from £190,845
• 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds

The Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance is an exhilarating powerhouse, with 804bhp and 1,420Nm of torque from the combination of a V8 and rear-mounted electric motor. It’s impressively fast, hitting 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and able to continue to a top speed of 196mph. Despite its hefty 2,195kg weight, it feels surprisingly agile, with the rear motor improving weight distribution and all-wheel drive providing excellent grip. The hybrid system is smoothly integrated, although the eight-mile electric range is really more of a performance boost than anything practically usable on a daily basis.

The ride is firm but well controlled, with adaptive dampers keeping things composed at higher speeds. Steering is sharp, and the carbon-ceramic brakes provide serious stopping power. Inside, the seats strike a great balance between comfort and support, ensuring that the SL 63 S E Performance doesn’t just give you a great experience at high speeds, but remains comfortable for longer journeys, too.
