MotorTrend has crowned the Lucid Air Sapphire the quickest car it has ever tested. This luxurious electric sedan tips the scales at over 5,300 pounds and churns out an eye-watering 1,234 horsepower and 1,430 pound-feet of torque from three high-performance electric motors. Equipped with Lucid’s Track Tire package, this heavyweight launcher blasts from zero to 60 miles per hour in a staggering 1.881 seconds on normal pavement without any special preparation. That acceleration figure smashes the previous records and leaves exotic supercars scrambling to keep pace.
More than raw muscle, the Air Sapphire’s Track Tire package shaves 0.32 seconds off the sprint time by delivering crucial grip and confidence to handle all that power. Its launch control system unleashes that monstrous torque instantly and precisely, propelling the car down the road with brutal authority. Beyond just quick off the line, the car rockets to 100 mph in less than 4 seconds and nails the quarter-mile in 9.1 seconds at 155 mph. This level of performance utterly eclipses most sports cars and rattles the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach’s crown.
What truly astonishes is that the Lucid Air Sapphire manages this blistering pace while offering the comfort and practicality of a full-size luxury sedan. It can seat five adults comfortably with plush, massaging seats, deliver a whisper-quiet cabin, and carry cargo in spacious compartments front and rear. It blends everyday usability with the thrill and acceleration of a supremely tuned electric missile.
The Electric revolution just gained another monster so fast that it rewrites the rules of performance. The Lucid Air Sapphire heralds a new era for speed.
