13 Fastest Hybrid Production Car Zero-To-Sixty Times

Production cars are defined as vehicles constructed for retail sale to consumers, so we’ll even allow the limited edition hypercars on here.

In order to avoid confusion, exaggerated manufacturer’s claims, and inconsistencies, we’ve used results reported by independent testers, such as Car and Driver, MotorTrend, Road and Track, etc.

In instances where multiple trim levels of the same car appeared on the list, we left out the slower version to make the list more diverse.

2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale — 0-60: 2.0 Seconds

Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale is a plug-in hybrid. Its mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 produces 769hp, and it has three electric motors that add 217hp, for a total of 986 Italian prancing horses.

Ferrari states that the SF90 Stradale will reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, but during Car and Driver’s tests, they managed to reduce that time to a very impressive 2.0 seconds.

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder — 0-60 Mph: 2.1 Seconds

It’s hard to believe that the Porsche 918 Spyder is now a decade old. It’s one of the Holy Trinity hypercars, and the other two, the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari are also on this list. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a plug-in hybrid, sporting a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 and two electric motors.

With a total of 875 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque, Porsche claimed it would reach 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, but it’s performed better than that in independent tests, managing it in just 2.1 seconds. Fitted with the Weissach Package, the 918 Spyder weighs less and is more aerodynamic, so theoretically, it should be even faster.

2023 Ferrari 296 GTB — 0-60 Mph: 2.3 Seconds

Ferrari introduced the stunning 296 GTB in 2022. It’s the Italian manufacturer’s first production car with a six-cylinder engine since the Dino 246, an iconic model that was discontinued in 1974.

Performance-wise, the 296 GTB is nothing like the Dino, as its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and electric power pack produce a whopping 819 hp, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 560 hp/ton. MotorTrend managed to send the 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds from a standstill. That’s faster than the V12 hybrid LaFerrari!

2015 Ferrari LaFerrari — 0-60 Mph: 2.4 Seconds

The LaFerrari was a limited-production mid-engine, mild hybrid hypercar built on findings from testing of the FXX development prototype. It’s no wonder that the Italian manufacturer marketed it as the definitive Ferrari.

Its 6.3-liter V12 engine got some help from an electric motor and KERS, resulting in 950 hp. It only needed 2.4 seconds to reach 60 mph, and those who dared to keep the throttle buried long enough would see a claimed top speed of 217 mph.

2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8 E-Ray — 0-60 Mph: 2.5 Seconds

Chevrolet unveiled the C8 Corvette E-Ray performance hybrid in 2023. It still has the C8 Stingray’s 6.2-liter engine, DCT transmission, and performance exhaust, but it adds a 1.9 kWh battery, electric motor drive, regenerative braking, hybrid electronics, and a hybrid cooling system.

With a total of 655 hp and 595 lb-ft of torque, the E-Ray will sprint to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and even runs a 10.5-second quarter-mile.

2015 McLaren P1 — 0-60 Mph: 2.6 Seconds

The McLaren P1 is often considered the iconic F1’s spiritual successor, and like the F1, it was one of the most advanced cars of its era. The McLaren was easily the most futuristic-looking car of the hypercar “Holy Trinity” models.

Its hybrid powertrain consisted of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and an electric motor, producing a total of 903 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. That means it can reach 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and continue accelerating until the speedometer shows 217 mph.

2023 McLaren Artura — 0-60 Mph: 2.6 Seconds

While the McLaren Artura doesn’t have a V12 or V8 engine, its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and electric motor still produce plenty of power — 671 hybrid horses, to be exact.

The Artura is the first McLaren hybrid to use a V6, and it can even drive 19 miles on electricity alone. Don’t worry, it’s still as fast as we’d expect a McLaren to be. In fact, with a 205 mph top speed and a 2.6-second sprint to 60 mph, it’s faster than many of the V8-powered models.

2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid — 0-60 Mph: 2.8 Seconds

In 2017, Porsche introduced the Panamera Sport Turismo, a 5-door, shooting-brake wagon version. It has the same engine options as the standard liftback/fastback sedan Panamera, including the powertrain from the Turbo S E-Hybrid.

With 671 German ponies, it was more powerful than the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and Audi RS6 Performance superwagons. Finishing the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 2.8 seconds, the Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid would leave the competition in its dust once the lights turned green.

2022 Honda NSX Type S — 0-60 Mph: 2.9 Seconds

Before Honda discontinued the NSX, they made a limited-production model NSX Type S — a moniker that was last used in 1997 on a JDM model.

The latest NSX Type S received multiple powertrain upgrades, such as new turbochargers from the NSX GT3 Evo race car. Honda also changed the gear ratio and retuned the electric motors and DCT transmission, resulting in 602 hp and a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.9 seconds.

2020 Polestar 1 — 0-60 Mph: 3.8 Seconds

Polestar is perhaps best known for tuning Volvos, which makes sense, seeing as it’s a Volvo brand. However, in 2017, Polestar became an independent car manufacturer and has launched its own models, such as the Polestar 1.

The Polestar 1 is a limited-production car built on a Volvo platform, and other than the Saab Gripen fighter jet, it’s probably the fastest thing to emerge from the land of Abba and meatballs. Thanks to a twin-charged 2.0-liter engine and a pair of electric motors, it produces a total of 619 hp and scrambles to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.

2015 BMW i8 — 0-60 Mph: 3.8 Seconds

The BMW i8 had plenty of cool features, such as butterfly doors and a head-up display, and it was the first production car with laser headlights. Still, it wasn’t as revolutionary as we thought it would be after seeing the concept.

Revolutionary or not, it’s a mid-engine hybrid sports car that’s way more attainable than the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, or LaFerrari, and it’s not that much slower. It only has a three-cylinder 1.5-liter turbo engine, but when combined with the electric motor, the i8 has a decent 369 hp and will reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

2019 Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4Matic+ — 0:60 Mph: 4.1 Seconds

Rather confusingly, Mercedes refers to the third-gen CLS as a four-door coupe, which would traditionally be called a sedan. Anyway, let’s not get bogged down with semantics, because this is a genuinely fast and luxurious vehicle.

Under the hood, it has a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six gasoline engine, which works alongside a 48-volt mild hybrid system. As a result, the CLS 53 launches to 60 in just 4.1 seconds.

2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 4Matic — 0-60 Mph: 4.1 Seconds

The Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 4Matic is another fast and luxurious model. It’s a coupe that’s positioned between the smaller C-Class and larger E-Class models.

It has a potent 3.0-liter straight-six engine combined with a mild-hybrid setup producing 375 ponies and 369 lb-ft of torque. All its power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission, resulting in a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of just 4.1 seconds.
