Do you know what is really awesome? Hybrid vehicles. Do you know what is even more awesome than that? Stylish hybrid vehicles. And do you know what is even more awesome still? European hybrid vehicles — with style.

That being said, take a look at Citroen’s new concept, the DS High Rider. In addition to many other fantastic features, this concept features the kind of fuel efficiency that can only be achieved when diesel engines are paired with electric vehicles.

You see, this compact crossover does just that. Not only is it sleek, stylish, and sophisticated, but its diesel engine works in perfect conjunction with its electric motor, the latter of which can be found on the rear axle.

And when the right circumstances come to pass, each of the engines work together to provide even more power.

Who says that a hybrid car can’t be sporty and luxurious? Well, Subaru certainly never uttered such a silly, blasphemous statement. Just by taking a look at the very first renderings of the new, ultra sleek, uber stylish Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept, you can tell that Subaru has never even considered such an idea!

The forty first annual motor show in Tokyo is responsible for unveiling this beauty to the world. The concept is a proposal designed to introduce a grand touring car for the future, and its aim is the integration of environmental and eco friendliness with safety and driving performance.

As you can see by the car’s exterior, wings and flight are serious inspiration. Well duh, just check out those gull wing doors! This hybrid looks ready to take flight! Talk about environmentally friendly!

The Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept

Who says hybrid cars can’t be sleek and sexy too? Some call it a Prius which has been pumped up on steroids, but you cannot accuse the Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept of being ugly, that is for sure.

Of course, by all rights, it is no longer just a concept. Indeed, it is the first sports car introduced by Toyota since the manufacturer dropped the popular Supra over ten years ago, in 1997.

With this concept car, Toyota wanted something that could develop four hundred horsepower. They wanted a hybrid sports car, and that is what they got — an eco friendly dream than can go from zero to sixty in approximately four seconds.

The engine? A 3.5 liter V6 full of thrust. It would be easy to develop — or simply find — an electric motor to help make up the rest.
