I like the 918, but it's a little spendy. I'd settle for a Memminger Roadster 2.7




...with a mild hybrid created by adding a Buick laCrosse altermotor to the Type IV boxer mid-engine.

As for a production hybrid sports car, Toyota could have implemented the Alessandro Volta as early as 2004:

It has a well proven drive train out of a Highlander/LX400h SUV swapped end-for-end, with the V-6 in back. I have an example of the 68hp electric [rear] axle that may go in a VW Beetle some day.
