The internal combustion engine has been perfected by engineers for more than 2 centuries and frankly speaking it is very close to reaching its peak potential and hitting the wall in terms of further development.
However, there is a way to make improvements to an almost ideal ICE powertrain, and that is by paring it with a battery and an electric motor. This hybrid system ensures superior efficiency, instant torque, power boosts and purely electric driving. Here we are showing top 10 hybrid supercar models, which have benefited from symbiosis with electric motors the most and managed to show remarkable performance.
