As the world becomes more and more interested in being eco-friendly, and leaving less of an impact on the environment, it’s inevitable that the luxury sector will also begin to change. Although it’s highly unlikely that all luxury car owners are going to begin giving up the inimitable roar of a powerful Ferrari engine, there’s certainly a gap in the market for extremely high-end hybrid and electric cars. Indeed, many luxury car manufacturers are exploring the world of hybrids with great enthusiasm, knowing that many of their customers are keen to acquire hybrid cars which look great, drive beautifully, and leave less of a mark on the world. Here are three luxury hybrid cars to look out for this year.
