The Fastest Hybrid Car

2013 Infiniti M35h

What is the fastest hybrid car of 2013? It is the Infiniti M Hybrid. This car is a performance hybrid and it is the best buy among the Power Hybrids, but it not cheap by any means. It delivers 360 horsepower and it maintains a estimated 32 mpg with a 3.5-L V6 Hybrid Powertrain.

This is a sexy car full of luxury and innovation. It is a great blend of power, performance, luxury and fuel economy.

Who said, hybrid cars are slow!

The BMW ActiveHybrid 5

2013 BMW ActiveHybrid5

I don't believe BMW's goal was to build the fastest hybrid car. They built the second fastest car without that goal in mind because of their attention to detail and excellence. This car is considered the best hybrid car in many categories. It is one of my personal favorite. I love this car! This vehicle boasts a BMW TwinPower Turbo in-line 6-cylinder. I personally believe this race would depend upon the driver. See some of the stats below.

Power Hybrids

Power Hybrids and Hybrid Classification

Because of the various types of hybrid vehicles, I decided to classify them according to type. For example, Crossovers, Mini, Economy, Plug Ins, and last and not least, 'Power Hybrids'. These hybrids would not be considered the best buy in terms of fuel economy. If you are looking for a fast expensive, luxury hybrid, this is the class for you. They would get better gas mileage coupled with their gas engine counterpart. At least you can do less work by taking less annoying trips to the gas station compared to gas engines. If you had any of these gas engine counterparts, you will be visiting the pump very frequently. What makes a power hybrid. 1. The power of its acceleration. Power Hybrids move from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. 2. It's torque, measured in lb-ft of both electric motor and gasoline motor. 3. It total horse power or hybrid net power .
