Hard to imagine what the Lucid will do when the batteries are half the weight. With good tires it will be even more amazing.
-
Wich four seater is quicker than the Lucid Air Sapphire? The KOENIGSEGG GEMERA V8 : 2300 hp, under 2 tonns... mind blowing🤯💀
-
It's really surprising that the Air doesn't lag behind in cornering speed compared to the M3 CS. I think the main reason is that the center of gravity has been lowered. It's even surprising that tire sizes are 265, 295. If it wears cup 2 tires, it will probably have the fastest cornering speed among four-door cars. despite that heavy weight...

My hat is off to the Lucid engineers! I've never been in one, but have seen some stuff, like this. It's as though they're the modern day Deusenberg's (almost 100 years after the originals). I hope they don't grow too fast, but look forward to seeing what their future brings.
-
For the X5M run, at the 9:23 mark in the video, I'm surprised you didn't bend a wheel and blow a tire with the poor condition of the curb edge of the track. Looks like VIR isn't kept in very good condition. But the X5M and driver did fantastic.
-
That X5M is out of control 😅
-
Just got the magizine and had to see the video after reading sounds dangerous they wouldn’t build the brake for the sapphire to be able to withstand its max output. Scary to think the creator said to start breaking at the 7 ont eh corner when there is only 6 markers…
-
yabut you can only do one lap (Lucid) (is that correct?
-
It's still faster in Nurnburgring than Ioniq 5 N, so their 2yrs extra design time was wasted 😊
-
I’ve driven a couple of these. They all feel like 5500lb SUVs. Numb steering. Too much power. Long braking zones. If this is the future of cars, I’m keeping my Lotus Elise and Honda S2000 forever.
