They exist, but they’re expensive. The cheapest I see is the Mercedes AMG E53 Cabriolet for around 80k.
The reasons why they’re expensive are touched on in another post: hybrids are heavy because batteries are heavy, convertibles are heavy because you can’t use the roof for the car’s structure anymore, so a convertible hybrid is extra heavy. Solving that engineering problem makes them expensive.

Okay I didn’t know that existed. That’s a lot of power for a hybrid though lol.
I do understand the weight issues. The new Prius makes ~220HP. I think it’s doable now, but the market isn’t asking for that.
