The Jaguar C-X75 concept car. This never actually went to production but at least 3 of the *actual* hybrid supercar concepts were put together. These used a small diesel engine to drive two turbines, which in turn powered the electric motors. Any actual figures are mostly speculation.
Another 6 or 7 were made as bare-bones models with V8 engines for production of the James Bond 007 movie "Spectre" of which at least a couple remain in museums.

As well as writing and performing, he loved his cars.

I love the “full spats” on the early Jaguar XK120s.
