Every Hybrid Sports Car Currently Available

Multiple manufacturers have expressed a desire to tone down their electric car endeavors in favor of the more feasible gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain. This means that we’ll be seeing brands

release more HEVs and PHEVs
compared to fully electric vehicles in the coming years. This includes a heavier focus on performance models that will adopt more advanced HEV and PHEV electrical systems.

As of 2025, there aren’t many hybridized sports cars in the traditional sense, but most manufacturers now offer some form of hybridization with their conventional performance models. These are the most prominent options that you have access to as of right now. For the sake of consistency, this list excludes grand tourers, hypercars, and supercars.

Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid

0-60 MPH: 3.9 Seconds

The all-new Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid adopts a downsized single-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine with one permanent-magnet motor located alongside a nine-speed automatic transmission. This system produces a combined 557 horsepower, which is enough to get the model from 0-60 MPH in a claimed 3.9 seconds.

Performance Specifications

Mercedes-AMG fits this PHEV performance sedan with a fairly generous 21.2 kWh

lithium-ion battery
, which is enough to cover it for a claimed 42 miles on a single charge. The brand also claims a combined 59 MPGe fuel and energy consumption average, but official EPA results are pending.

Pros

• Impressive power outputs
• Luxurious interior setting
• Plush ride comfort

Cons

• Not a true AMG
• Sensitive brakes
• MBUX Superscreen is too overbearing

Audi RS5 Coupe – $79,600

0-60 MPH: 3.7 Seconds

The Audi RS5 Coupe is now an older performance model option, featuring a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 with a parallel starter motor located in the eight-speed automatic transmission. The result is a 444 horsepower output, which is enough to get it from 0-60 MPH in 3.7 seconds.

The EPA estimates that this model covers 306 miles on a single tank of gas and will return a reasonably impressive 21 MPG on the combined cycle.

Being a 48-volt MHEV
, it won’t operate independently on electricity.

Pros

• Timeless exterior design
• Impressive launch speed
• Relatively comfortable ride

Cons

• No manual transmission option
• Expensive optional extras
• Relatively down on power

8

BMW M5 – $119,500

0-60 MPH: 3.4 Seconds

The all-new BMW M5 Sedan and Touring duo are midsize sedans with curb weight figures that rival the largest of SUVs. This is because of the weighty twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 and permanent-magnet duo, supported by an 18.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The brand

claims a whopping 717-horsepower
combined output, which is enough to get it from 0-60 MPH in 3.4 seconds.

EPA estimations are pending, but BMW M claims that you can expect the M5 to return 50 MPGe on the combined cycle, cover 340 miles on a single tank and charge, and 25 miles while using electricity only.

Pros

• Added benefit of a Touring body style
• Impressively practical
• Good EV range

Cons

• Almost as heavy as some SUVs
• Confusing driving mode settings

Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance – $86,050

0-60 MPH: 3.3 Seconds

The Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is a historic model that left a lot of enthusiasts disappointed, because of its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and permanent-magnet motor configuration. With a combined 671 horsepower sent to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission, you can expect to cover 0-60 MPH in 3.3 seconds.

On the efficiency front, Mercedes-AMG claims that the

new-generation C63
will cover 340 miles on a single tank and charge and just seven miles when running on the 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. You can also expect to achieve a 35 MPGe combined consumption figure.

Pros

• Amazing drivetrain responsiveness
• Seamless gasoline-electric integration
• Impressive handling abilities

Cons

• Lacks sufficient EV range
• Feels lofty
• Sounds disappointing

6

Audi RS6 Avant Performance – $126,600

0-60 MPH: 3.3 Seconds

The Audi RS6 Performance is another MHEV Audi Sport model, but this one features a twin-turbocharged V-8, producing 621 horsepower and 627 pound-feet. The brand claims this will cover 0-60 MPH in a mere 3.3 seconds.

According to the EPA,

you can expect the RS6
to return 17 MPG on the combined cycle and 328 miles on a full tank of gas. Again, this is a mild-hybrid, so it doesn’t get a lot of assistance from the electrical unit located in the eight-speed automatic transmission.

Pros

• Unfiltered turbocharged V-8 enjoyment
• Emotive exhaust note
• Enjoyable and practical

Cons

• Expensive for its age
• Annoying touchscreen
• Poor fuel economy despite MHEV system

5

Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid – $169,800

0-60 MPH: 2.9 Seconds

Porsche’s first-ever electrified 911 GTS T-Hybrid retains the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six, but with the added benefit of a single permanent-magnet motor, resulting in a combined 532 horsepower. You can expect this to cover a 0-60 MPH sprint in just 2.9 seconds.

Both Porsche and the EPA fail to issue any claimed consumption figures, but we do know that the 1.9 kWh battery will take just 20 minutes to charge thanks to its 11 kW onboard charging system.

Pros

• Smooth hybrid configuration
• Sharp handling characteristics
• Plenty of customization options

Cons

• No manual transmission option
• Digital-only gauges
• Expensive starting price

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance – $207,150

0-60 MPH: 2.8 Seconds

The top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance PHEV adopts the brand’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, generating an impressive 805 horsepower to all four wheels via a combination nine-speed automatic and two-speed EV direct-drive transmission unit. The result is an astounding 2.8-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time, as confirmed by Edmunds in its testing procedure.

Again, we don’t have any official EPA consumption estimates or claimed figures

from Mercedes-AMG
, but you can expect the 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to take just over 1.2 hours to charge at a 3.7 kW limit.

Pro

• Tasteful exterior aesthetic
• Agile despite high curb weight
• Impressive tech features

Cons

• High starting price
• Unusable rear seats
• Fussy touch controls

3

Porsche Panamera Turbo S E Hybrid – $230,700

0-60 MPH: 2.8 Seconds

The all-new Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid retains the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and permanent-magnet motor configuration, but with an increased 771 horsepower combined output. The result is a claimed 2.8-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time.

Again, there are no official EPA consumption estimates

for this model
, but Porsche claims that it will return 48 MPGe on the combined cycle, cover 600 miles using gas and electricity, and 30 miles when sourcing energy from the 25.9 kWh battery pack. This pack will take 3.3 hours to recharge at 9.6 kW.

Pros

• Rapid off the line
• Grippy handling
• Practical body design

Cons

• Too many digital displays
• Not the most efficient configuration
• Ridiculous starting price

2

Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance – $198,950

0-60 MPH: 2.8 Seconds

The AMG GT 63 S E Performance Four-Door is a direct answer to the aforementioned Panamera. This

four-door fastback sedan
adopts a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and permanent-magnet motor that generates an even more impressive 831 horsepower, which also gets it from 0-60 MPG in 2.8 seconds. MotorTrend‘s official testing proves that this is a conservative time, with its 2.6-second result.

On the efficiency front, you can expect a combined 25 MPGe consumption average, 343-mile range figure, and seven-mile EV range result from the 6.1 kW battery pack. This also takes two hours to charge, due to a slower 3.7 kW onboard charger.

Pros

• Magnificent engine sounds
• Class-leading acceleration
• Enjoyable displays

Cons

• Stiff ride quality
• Minimal EV range
• Heads-up display is too small

Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray – $106,900

0-60 MPH: 2.5 Seconds

The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is one of the most impressive hybrid sports cars available today, with an equally competitive price. This features the company’s esteemed mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 and single permanent-magnet motor, generating a combined 655 horsepower. The result is a 2.5-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time, which Car and Driver confirms in its testing.

On the efficiency front, it’s not the most impressive model, as it will only return a 19 MPG combined consumption average and 352-mile range figure.

It is just a conventional hybrid
, so you don’t get to drive it using electricity alone.

Pros

• An innovative Corvette product
• Class-leading performance abilities
• Stellar grip and traction

Cons

• Not that sharp on track
• Chunky hybrid system
• An overall compromised Corvette
