The Best Hybrid Sports Cars

If sports cars are chic and hybrids are hype, then why not have a hybrid sports car? There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have the best of both worlds. Having a hybrid doesn’t just equate to saving big on fuel, its also doing something good to everybody and being very proud while your at it. Some people, like you and me, can never take a car unless it has the performance of a sports car, and that’s how some car manufacturers have toiled relentlessly to bring into the market a car that has the best of both worlds.

I’d like to call to your attention some of the best hybrid sports car in the market. Come 2007, a healthy plethora of hybrid sports car models have entered the market scene, and all look very, very dazzling. On consumers, the choice is harder because these performance babies cost much, much more than what you’d be comfortable to spend for a sports car.

Lexus GS 450h

Hybrid sports cars like the Lexus 450h are designed for performance but with a hybrid capability. That’s why you’ll be astounded at how a powerful car with a V6 monster engine can run like the wind on a decent fuel supply. The Lexus GS 450h has a 292 hp, 3.5-liter V6 gasoline hybrid engine on a 2 speed continuous variable transmission with OD and auto manual. At only $54,900 and being a hybrid car, it is barely the price of the older non-hybrid Lexus GS 430, and also barely the price of another hard-hitter diesel hot rod Mercedes Benz E320 CDI, which is at $52,445.

The Lexus GS 450h is full of chic too. From its ultra refined interior, an electronics board that could shy a spacecraft, a 10 speaker audio system that beats custom job at Radioshack, and the digital dashboard information screen that displays fuel economy stats among all others, the Lexus GS 450h might come as imposing to new sports car owners. And if it matters, buying an expensive toy such as this one, the Lexus GS 450h allows a little rebate in terms of gasoline savings. It has an EPA rating of 25 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the open lanes.

Honda Accord Hybrid

Though Honda has announced that the Accord car line won’t be producing hybrid sports cars after this year, the most recent Honda Accord Hybrid might be a strong contender for potentially several years to come. What you have to do is just floor the throttle and you’ll know what I am speaking of. It eats pavement and leaps to 60mph in 7.55 seconds. The Honda Accord Hybrid has the best powertrain in the biz, at 255 hp, 3 liter V6 and a 16 hp electric motor, it could very well exceed the 90 mph acceleration its spec sheet shows.
