Despite concerns that cars are becoming sterile transportation pods, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for enthusiasts. This year promises one of the most significant waves of new sports car and supercar debuts in recent memory.
As cutting-edge technology continues to shape high-performance vehicles, hybrids and electric models are more prevalent on this list than they were just five years ago. But that’s not a drawback—our top pick for 2024 is a hybrid, and one of today’s most impressive performance cars is a fully electric hot hatch.
1. Aston Martin Valhalla
Estimated Price: $800,000
Aston Martin first introduced the mid-engine Valhalla concept in 2019 under the name AM-RB 003 at the Geneva Motor Show. After six years of pandemic-related setbacks, the car is finally entering production in 2025. It features a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 delivering 817 horsepower, enhanced by three electric motors—two at the front and one integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission—resulting in a combined output of 1,064 horsepower. Only 999 units will be produced, with an expected starting price of $1 million.
2. BMW M2 CS
Estimated Price: $90,000
The M2 is currently BMW’s most engaging model, and it’s about to become even more thrilling in 2025 with the introduction of a CS variant. Spy shots of camouflaged prototypes indicate an imminent debut. This version is expected to push past 500 horsepower from its twin-turbo straight-six engine, accompanied by performance-focused enhancements in braking, suspension, and aerodynamics. Expect a considerable price increase and limited availability.
3. Bugatti-Rimac Track Hypercar
Estimated Price: $1.0 Million+
Since merging in 2021, Bugatti and Rimac have combined their expertise in cutting-edge automotive technology. While CEO Mate Rimac continues development on the V-16 Bugatti Tourbillon, he has also teased a new track-focused car that integrates Rimac’s battery advancements with Bugatti’s renowned performance and design. This model will feature a single-seat cockpit with a canopy-style enclosure. While the name is still undisclosed, Rimac has made ambitious claims: “We are building a track car, a single-seater that will be faster than most race cars—quicker than Formula 1 and Le Mans.”
4. Chevrolet Corvette Zora
Estimated Price: $200,000
The long-anticipated Zora is poised to be the ultimate Corvette. Expected to sit at the pinnacle of the lineup, it will likely pair the 1,064-hp twin-turbo, flat-plane crank V-8 from the recently revealed ZR1 with the E-Ray’s front-axle electric motor. While Chevrolet has not confirmed these details, estimates suggest a total output exceeding 1,200 horsepower. Combined with all-wheel drive, the Zora promises to be among the most extreme and capable supercars of the modern era.
5. DeLorean Alpha5
Estimated Price: $150,000
DeLorean is making a comeback with this striking sports coupe leading the charge. Unveiled in 2022, the Alpha5 pays homage to the original DMC-12 with its gullwing doors and features styling by Italdesign. The company claims a 0-60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds and a 300-mile range for this fully electric four-seater. Production is slated to begin in 2025, though, given the track record of small manufacturers, timelines remain uncertain.
6. Dodge Charger Sixpack
Estimated Price: $40,000
The initial response to Dodge’s all-electric Charger coupe has been mixed. Fortunately, a traditional gasoline-powered alternative is on the way. Dubbed the Sixpack, this version will utilize Stellantis’s twin-turbocharged inline-six, available in either a 420-hp or 550-hp configuration. Unfortunately, both trims will be offered exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive will make burnouts more challenging.
7. Ferrari Electric Supercar
Estimated Price: $500,000
Ferrari and electric powertrains may seem like an unlikely pair, but that’s precisely what 2025 will bring. The legendary Italian automaker is preparing to unveil its first fully electric vehicle. Spy photos of camouflaged prototypes suggest it will be a sleek four-seater coupe or possibly a low-slung SUV. Whether it will evoke the same passion as Ferrari’s gasoline-powered models remains to be seen.
8. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Estimated Price: $75,000
Apart from the ultra-exclusive GTD, the most potent Mustang currently available is the 500-horsepower Dark Horse. Given the brand’s history, it’s likely that a Shelby-badged model with even more power is on the horizon. While Ford has yet to confirm specifics regarding timing or powertrain details, one thing is certain—it will be an absolute beast.
9. Honda Prelude
Estimated Price: $35,000
Honda is reviving the Prelude, which first appeared as a concept at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show. The automaker has since confirmed that the coupe will enter production and hit the market in late 2025. It will feature the same two-motor hybrid system found in the current Civic and Accord. While it won’t be as aggressive as the Civic Si, it will incorporate select Type R elements and utilize S+ Shift software to simulate gear changes. Plus, it looks fantastic. We can’t wait.
10. Hyundai Ioniq 6 N
Estimated Price: $40,000
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is arguably the best-handling electric vehicle currently available, and the upcoming Ioniq 6 N is expected to be even better. Sharing its powertrain with the 5 N but built on the lighter, more aerodynamic Ioniq 6 platform, it should offer superior speed and cornering capability. Expect the same 641-horsepower dual-motor setup and innovative simulated gear shifts. Additionally, the 6 N will come standard with an NACS charging port for convenient fast charging between track sessions.
11. Lexus LFR
Estimated Price: $100,000
Toyota is working on something substantial. In its first attempt at a true supercar since the legendary LFA, the brand has been conducting road and Nürburgring tests throughout 2024, signaling an official debut in 2025. Originally previewed as the GR GT3 at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, the car has remained under wraps ever since. It is expected to feature a V-8 powertrain, though it is unclear whether hybrid assistance will be included.
12. Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman EV
Estimated Price: $80,000
Porsche confirmed in 2022 that the next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman would transition to fully electric powertrains. Despite a declining demand for electric vehicles, particularly in the performance segment, Porsche remains committed to launching these models in 2025. While power and range figures have yet to be disclosed, spy images suggest that their proportions will remain close to their gasoline-powered predecessors.
13. Porsche Electric Hypercar
Estimated Price: $2.8 Million
The successor to the 918 Spyder is expected to be fully electric. Porsche’s next hypercar will likely draw heavily from the Mission X concept unveiled in 2023. Unlike typical EVs, this model will feature a rear-mounted battery to mimic the balance of a mid-engine vehicle. Expect design and aerodynamic elements inspired by Porsche’s IMSA race cars, a cockpit with bucket seats and extensive carbon fiber, and an immense power output with an extremely limited production run.
14. Tesla Roadster
Estimated Price: $250,000
The second-generation Tesla Roadster remains one of the automotive industry’s longest-running development projects. First revealed by CEO Elon Musk in 2017 and originally slated for a 2021 launch, it has faced multiple delays. Tesla now claims it will finally arrive in 2025. When it was initially announced, Musk touted a 0-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds and a top speed of 250 mph—figures that seemed outrageous then but are now plausible, given that the Rimac Nevera has already surpassed them.
