The 460 is unique, running on a 3.5-liter V-6 and a large electric motor, yet returning 22 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. It is not for the faint of wallet at $56,000. Fast hybrid car number three is another BMW, but this time is an SUV, one of its X series. The BMW ActiveHybrid X6 does a 5.4 0 to 60 run.
