Priced from $249,000 USD, the Lucid Air Sapphire will definitely give the Tesla Model S Plaid a run for its money with its tri-motor powertrain. There is a twin motor rear-drive unit, paired with a single motor front-drive unit, which generate over 1200 hp, enabling it to hit 60 mph in under 2-seconds and completing the 1.4 mile in less than 9-seconds.
What sets the Sapphire apart from its dual-motor predecessors is Lucid’s microjet stator cooling and wave winding, while the twin rear-drive unit also introduces a new heat exchanger technology as well as a heightened coolant flow rate. In addition to stiffer front / rear springs with unique damper settings, the vehicle rides on ultra-high performance staggered Aero Sapphire wheels wrapped in specially developed Michelin PS4S tires. Step inside, and you’ll find 18-way power sport seats that have been upholstered in black leather trimmed with black Alcantara and Sapphire Blue contrast stitching. It can be viewed in person now at Quail Lodge during Monterey Car Week, with reservations going live on August 23, 2022 at 9am PST. One thing you should do is confuse the Lucid D1 disinfecting drone with any of these luxurious electric vehicles.
