At a suggested retail price upwards of $140,000, the i8 definitely reflects its sticker price in its fantastic design. The car’s impressive scissor doors and electric blue Vossen wheels ensure that owners won’t be giving up style for fuel economy.
3. Tesla Model S P100D
With a legendary 0 to 60 time of 2.28 seconds, the Tesla P100D astonished drivers everywhere with its speedy performance. Pricing in at around $130,000, the Tesla P100D has become the hottest car of 2017, with consumers clamoring to sit behind the 760 horsepower engine and enjoy the powerful all-wheel-drive.
4. Mercedes Benz S550e
For a little less than $100,000, Mercedes enthusiasts can nab the stylish S550e hybrid sedan. The model boasts 436 horsepower and a twin-turbo V6 engine as well as three different driving modes that allow toggling between the gas engine and the electric motor. Wireless charging will also be offered on an upcoming version of the S550e, which will release in the United States in spring 2018.
5. Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid
Porsche’s signature sports car design has been given a futuristic twist with their new hybrid offering, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, available at just under $100,000.
