While none of the three will challenge the Toyota Prius for the title of world’s best-selling hybrid car, they should at least begin to reshape the definition of exactly what constitutes a hybrid. The LaFerrari couples a 6.3 litre V12 engine with an electric motor, producing a combined 963 horsepower and a top speed in excess of 350 km/h, making it the fastest road-going Ferrari ever. The McLaren P1, which was unveiled as a concept car at last autumn’s Paris show, uses a single electric motor combined with a twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre V8, delivering a combined 903 horsepower and a top speed electronically limited to 350 km/h. Slated to go on sale later this year, priced from 650,000 euros, the production version of the car mates a 4.6 litre V8 engine with two electric motors - one in front and one in the rear - with a combined output of 770 horsepower and a projected top speed of more than 325 km/h.
