Spoiler alert: One of the top three places is not a hybrid.
Saving fuel is likely to be the lowest priority when supercars come into being. Performance and design will be at the top of your list with one goal: to be the most powerful, engaging, and beautiful car in the class.
However, supercar ownership doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make multiple trips to the station. CompareTheMarket.com has compiled a list of examples that are capable of going far on one tank.
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is the best-selling model with a range of 1,115 kilometers (693 miles). The plug-in hybrid supercar, which can be run on batteries only, benefits from regenerative brakes to recharge the 7.9-kWh lithium-ion battery.
The Honda NSX (or Acura NSX) in the United States also uses electric motors, just like the Ferrari. The NSX can run in pure EV mode even though the motors are primarily used to torque vector. However, it is only capable of running for a short distance. Nevertheless, this is enough for the Japanese supercar to land the second spot in CompareTheMarket.com‘s list with a 745-km (463-mi) range.
The Audi R8 Coupe takes third place. This is also the non-hybrid model with the longest range of 728 km (452 mi). Although its fuel efficiency of 8.8 km/l (20 MPG) is slightly lower than that of the Ferrari Roma, the German supercar’s larger fuel tank makes it more capable of traveling further.
To come up with the list, CompareTheMarket.com‘s process was simple. The website used the advertised fuel consumption for supercars on the market. These are easily found on the official websites of the carmakers. To calculate the expected ranges, these are compared to their fuel tank capacities.
These numbers are only for comparison purposes, it is obvious. The actual fuel efficiency and range will depend on many factors such as driving style, climate, vehicle load, and vehicle weight.
