Hybrid Coupes
Hybrid coupes represent a tiny percentage of sales in the Australian market, with the Lexus LC 500h the most obvious example of the type outsold by its conventional V8 counterpart in a ratio of 4:1. But other manufacturers, including Ferrari and McLaren, have gone beyond dabbling in the green arts of eco-friendly sports cars and grand tourers.
Popular Hybrid Coupes (#)
1. Lexus LC
The Lexus LC, which stands for 'Luxury Coupe', is effectively a two-door grand touring version of the latest Lexus LS limousine. In fact it was the first Lexus model to be based on the GA-L platform that now underpins a range of Lexus models. And while the Lexus LC 500h shares its V6 petrol-electric powertrain from the LS 500h, the LC 500 runs a 5.0-litre V8 while the LS 500 has a twin-turbo V6. Launched in 2017 and previewed by the 2012 LF-LC Concept, the Lexus LC is a belated replacement for he Lexus SC, which featured a folding hard-top and was sold between 1991 and 2010, but with distinctly different coupe and convertible body styles.

The BMW i8 debuted in 2011 as something of a trailblazer. Not only was it one of BMW's very first electrified offerings, alongside the i3 city car, the BMW i8 is also widely revered as the original green sports car. Combining a peppy 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol with an electric motor, the i8 was based on a lightweight carbon-fibre monococque platform and offered some superlative figures on paper: 0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds, a claimed fuel consumption figure of 2.2L/100km and a claimed electric range exceeding 50km. The i8 Coupe was later joined by the i8 Roadster. BMW sold more than 20,000 examples combined before formally calling time on the green duo in early 2020.

An aluminium-bodied sports car from the early 1990s, the Honda NSX was conceived to do battle with high-performance sports cars from brands like Ferrari and Maserati. As a statement, the original was a great success, but the Honda's cachet never matched that of the Italian brands. Facelifted in 2002 the NSX was dropped just two years later. In 2016, an all-new hybrid Honda NSX arrived in Australia, and despite its turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 and dual-clutch transmission, it was felt to be overpriced at the time. To the end of 2019, fewer than 10 have been sold here.
