Top 10 Fastest Hybrid Cars 2024
Here's a rundown of some of the fastest hybrid cars out there, all competing for the title of top speed champs...
10. Aston Martin Valhalla
When you name a car after the Viking "hall of the fallen," it better be epic. Aston Martin's Valhalla lives up to the hype. This hybrid beast, a smaller sibling to the Valkyrie, packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and electric motors on both axles. This setup cranks out 940 horsepower, pushing the Valhalla to a top speed of 217 mph and blasting from 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
9. Lamborghini Revuelto
Top Speed: 217mph+
The first Lamborghini on our list—it’s a real head-turner with a quoted top speed of "more than 217mph" (which is roughly 350km/h, hence why you'll see that number pop up a few times here). It's enough to make your pulse race. And speaking of racing, the name "Revuelto" translates to "mixed up" in Spanish, though officially, it's another nod to the brand's bull-inspired badge. This baby is Lamborghini's first plug-in hybrid, but don't think you're going to be cruising on electric power alone—there's only enough juice for about six miles. But don't fret, because with its 6.5-liter V12 engine and trio of motors, it packs a whopping 1,001 horsepower inside.
8. Mercedes AMG One
Top Speed: 217mph+
The Mercedes AMG One is insane, boasting a 986 horsepower, 1.6-liter V6 hybrid engine straight from their Formula One program. That's right—an actual F1 engine in a road car. While it won't win you a Grand Prix, it's close, with a 0-124 mph time of under six seconds and a top speed over 217 mph. This car is as close as it gets to driving an F1 car on the streets.
7. Lamborghini Sían
Top Speed: 220mph
It was only a matter of time before a hybrid car sported the iconic Lamborghini badge. Enter the Sían—a hybrid, but still a V12 beast. Underneath its eye-catching design, it shares a lot with the Aventador SVJ. So, if you're after eco-friendliness or savings, this isn't your ride. But if you crave raw power and classic Lamborghini flair, the Sían delivers with a 6.5-liter V12 paired with a small electric motor powered by a supercapacitor, producing a total of 808 hp. It's not the fastest, but it's definitely one of the most unique.
6. Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4
Top Speed: 221mph
The 1974 Lamborghini Countach was impressive with a 179 mph top speed, but the new Sían-based Countach LPI 800-4 takes it further. While its design might not stand out as much as other Lambos, it surpasses the Sían's top speed by 1 mph, thanks to its sleek aerodynamics. This car solidifies Lamborghini's dominance in the top-speed game, making it one of three Lambos to claim the highest slots. With the same hybrid engine and an 808 hp output, it’s a modern icon.
5. Aston Martin Valkyrie
Top Speed: 225mph
Aston Martin's first-ever hypercar, the Valkyrie, aims to impress. It features a 6.5-liter V12 engine paired with a 160 hp electric motor, combining for a total of 1,140 hp and 900 Nm of torque. This powerhouse reaches a top speed of 225 mph. As one of the most advanced road cars today, the Valkyrie marks an impressive entry into the hypercar arena for Aston Martin.
4. Koenigsegg Gemera
Top Speed: 248mph
If you want an insanely fast hypercar with a Koenigsegg badge but need four seats, check out the Gemera. This grand tourer packs a 2.0-liter three-cylinder engine, nicknamed the "Tiny Friendly Giant," which revs up to 8,500 rpm and has variable valves. It's paired with two electric motors on the rear axle and another motor within the engine's crankcase. The result? A jaw-dropping 1,700 hp, launching the Gemera from 0-60 mph in just 1.9 seconds and hitting a top speed of 248 mph.
3. Koenigsegg Regera
Top Speed: 250mph
The Koenigsegg Regera is a one-of-a-kind plug-in hybrid supercar. It's powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 engine and three electric motors, cranking out a colossal 1,479 hp and over 2,000 Nm of torque. Instead of a traditional gearbox, it uses a direct-drive system for uninterrupted acceleration. The Regera set a 0-400-0 kph (0-248.5-0 mph) record in 2019, completing the feat in just 31.49 seconds and hitting a top speed of 250 mph.
2. McLaren Speedtail
Top Speed: 250mph
The Speedtail hit the scene back in 2019, taking hybrid performance to unprecedented levels. This McLaren F1 successor packs a punch with its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, pumping out a jaw-dropping 1,036 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 186mph in just 12.8 seconds—four seconds quicker than the P1. With only 106 Speedtails ever set to roll off the production line, each priced at over £2 million, they're already sold out. Lucky owners are getting their hands on one of the rare road cars in history that can break the 250mph barrier. And to maintain their exclusivity, McLaren promises no convertible or GTR versions will follow.
1. Zenvo Aurora
Top Speed: 280mph
The upcoming Zenvo Aurora aims to deliver both speed and excitement in abundance, boasting a staggering 1,850 horsepower from its 6.6-liter hybrid-assisted quad-turbocharged V12 that revs up to nearly 10,000rpm. Adding to its power, an electric motor within the gearbox chips in with 200 horsepower, while two front motors provide all-wheel drive for the road-focused Aurora Tur. Accelerating from 0 to 62mph in just 2.3 seconds puts it in the league of hypercars, but it's the projected top speed of 280mph that really sets the Aurora apart—making it a strong contender for the top spot on this list, if it hits production as planned.
