Lucid "Introducing Lucid Air Sapphire: The Pinnacle of Electric Performance."

[Tourbillon]

Via Mon ami! Thanks.

They've hit their claims I believe!

 

[Tourbillon]

Look at the bloody launch? She nearly popped a wheelie!

Fastest AND most efficient. Now that’s a combo.

I've always said it. I watched hour long presentations and then the cars were independently tested. They passed against claims.

The Sapphire, and I've said it consistently will become a classic. It already is!

I love Lucid/Air/Saphire. But I doubt that it will be a classic in any current sense of that word. Just because EV tech is going to move fast.

But kudos to them for being the king of performance sedans for now.

The fastest in acceleration and the better in range, but what is it like as a car, handling and everything else that makes a car of this price...or is it just a dragster?

Your going to have to put the time in. Videos Reviews Owners Clubs etc.

No way you can answer that in few paragraphs. But see that's the point, people can't too many cars.

Well that recent track time wasn't a bad start. I don't even know if I stated it. I'll check.

It's her dynamics I keep banging the drum on LOL! But she needs to go one place and do one thing and we'll see.

Split a few cars there. I won't name any, it's obvious.

Any questions direct them at the video producers.

I'm still a third of the way through the video. Like I said too much stuff.

Jason Cammisa on Instagram: "Verdict Lucid Air Sapphire: the best-handling sedan in the history of the world.

Or maybe the best-handling car, period.

I've had three days to try to think of anything better, and I can't.

If you're pissed that I'm saying this about an EV, it's because you haven't driven a Lucid Air Sapphire.

Come at me when you have. Because while 1234 hp is cool and all that, this thing is all about HANDLING.

Three 600-hp motors means real rear-axle torque vectoring — and this is the first car I've experienced that has truly made good on the promise on what a 3-motor setup can do.

In "TRACK" mode, it's stable and predictable — but without the understeer that typically plagues cars of that description.

In Everything-Off Mode it's an ass-out monster, allowing you to dial-an-oversteer with your foot. But unlike any other car this "loose," it won't bite you.

I'm not sure I've ever driven a car so perfectly in tune with its Driver's Wishes. On 3 hot laps of the treacherous Sonoma Raceway, it did everything I asked of it and nothing else. Plus, pulled off miraculous slides and recovery that just wouldn't be possible without real torque vectoring — and perfect tuning.

This Sapphire banged off a 1.98-second 0-60 with two people in the car, 65% state of charge, and no battery preconditioning. It's limited to 205 mph.

The Air Pure models hit 140 MPGe — the highest of any car ever tested by the EPA.

It is the most elegantly packaged vehicle ever made.

It could have a Lotus badge on it for its brilliance in engineering simplicity and dynamics. It could say Mercedes because of its engineering-led nature. It would say Porsche on it if the Taycan Turbo S were anywhere near this good. It could be a Tesla for changing the game. Again.

It's surpassed all of those companies.

I was genuinely almost brought to tears. A 1200-hp, 5500-lb 5-seat luxo-barge that was easier to drive 10/10ths around Sonoma's, wall-filled Raceway than a 200-hp hot-hatch. But more rewarding than an open-wheel race car.

The future is NOT going to suck.

This is why I don't like this late reviews . Everybody knows the UI is terrible in the Lucid. Too underpowered .
Laggy and lot's of things don't work (CarPlay,Alexa,navigation,etc)

He speaks aprox. 2 minutes about the infotainment. On the Model S review he speaks 15 minutes about the infotainment....

And I especially hate that he mentions in all cars about driving systems , YET , in Lucid , not in this video , nor in the first one , NEVER uses or mentions about Lucid's DreamDrive.

Why? Because it does not work !

DreamDrive Pro is 9000usd. And it does not work , like , at all. People bash Tesla for FSD , yet , nobody speaks about DreamDrive Pro...9000usd...


Don't get me wrong. I like the car ( not the price ) . But YouTubers should be fair and point also the bad stuff

The Markets dictate price and the clients willing to pay. Nothing else. We live in a World where the options on some cars are double the price of this one and everyone leases them anyway from what I was told- by the owners, these cars that is.

I am not saying that it is much. Read again what I wrote

I just hate hypocrisy and double standards...

Welcome to Planet Earth, that's my individual experience at any rate!

 

[Tourbillon]

This IS a landmark car. Period.

 

[KiwiRob]

Time to return to this absolute monster. I keep telling people it'll get so close to production hypercars it'll be difficult not to call it one itself!

I think not calling it a hypercar is doing Lucid a disservice.

Yes. I believe she'll get quicker. I'm sure Porsche and Tesla will reply in their own ways. Competition is good.
