In the rapidly accelerating realm of electric vehicles, Lucid Motors unveiled a spellbinding revelation: their “electric marvel on wheels”, dubbed the Lucid Air Sapphire. Imagine, if you will, a powerhouse: harnessing an astonishing 1,200+ horsepower, this vehicle rockets from a standstill to 60 mph in an almost incomprehensible 1.89 seconds.
Lucid Motors didn’t just drop this thunderbolt from the blue. Instead, they played a tantalizing game. They whetted the public’s appetite, discussing a tri-motor electric Air sedan, and kept us all waiting, holding our collective breaths, until the Monterey Car Week’s grand reveal last year.
Daring to declare it as “Earth’s premier all-electric opulent speed machine,” the Lucid Air Sapphire isn’t just a car; it’s a technological symphony. At its heart lies an innovative dual-drive mechanism, crafted in-house, masterfully harmonizing torque vectoring with a seamlessly integrated AWD system.
In a fusion of art and science, Lucid divulges that their revolutionary twin electric engine synergizes with a singular frontal-drive motor. This union creates that jaw-dropping 1,200 hp and propels the car from 0 to 60 mph in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it time frame of less than two seconds.
To say it simply: this car is fast. How fast? Hagerty’s team was left nearly speechless, observing it outpace formidable contenders like the Tesla Model S Plaid, the Bugatti Chiron, and even the Ducati motorcycle in a thrilling quarter-mile sprint.
But wait, there’s more! A mere fortnight after teasing glimpses of the Air Sapphire rolling off the assembly lines from its Arizona base, Lucid Motors played its final card, sharing the detailed specifics. Now for the riveting details.
Per the latest dossier from Lucid, this electric knight in shining armor will be armed with an astounding 1,234 hp and a mammoth 1,430 lb-ft of torque. The time it takes to accelerate to 60 mph? A mere 1.89 seconds. With its advanced propulsion system, the Lucid Air Sapphire shatters expectations, reaching 100 mph in 3.84 seconds, and breezing through a quarter mile in a brisk 8.95 seconds. Its climax? An exhilarating top speed of 205 mph.
What makes it even more mesmerizing? This titan offers a range: an EPA estimate of 427 miles, achieving an efficiency rate of 3.61 mi/kWh. And let’s not forget the array of other lavish features accompanying the Lucid Air Sapphire.
