American manufacturer Lucid is continuing its war on horsepower with Tesla by unveiling an even more powerful livery of its large Air electric sedan. The Air Sapphire justifies the note of $ 327,500 by its phenomenal power exceeding 1200 hp.

Thus, Lucid wants to shave the Tesla Model S Plaid, constantly cited among the most lively models in acceleration in the world. Lucid estimates that its three-motor configuration allows a 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) under 2 s. The 0-161 km/h (0-100 mph) sprint is completed in less than 4 seconds, which is as little time as many sports cars take to achieve 0-100 km/h. Yes, it’s very crazy. Lucid also does not address the issue of autonomy.
Everything is obviously accompanied by the usual improvements to the chassis. Suspension bushings and firmer springs are used and the shock absorbers benefit from different settings. The first copies of this Air Sapphire will be delivered next year. The print run will be limited, but Lucid has not given a figure.
