With a 400 meters achieved in less than 10 seconds, the future Lucid Air electric sedan is faster than a Tesla Model S or a Porsche Taycan.
In the world of the electric car, two main lines of communication are woven: autonomy and performance. Lucid Motors has already started on the subject of autonomy, announcing 832 km per charge on his first car the Air. Here is the second theme.
Faster than a 918 Spyder
More than an advertisement on paper, it is through a video that the information is illustrated. The Lucid Air is thus capable of executing the 400 meters standing start in 9.91 seconds. The manufacturer filmed this performance on the drag track in Sonoma, California (United States).

It’s a record for a production electric sedan, and Lucid uses it perfectly. The Lucid rushes off twice, the first against a Tesla Model S. The latter had succeeded the 400 m in 10.45 seconds with the cheetah mode of the recent update. The second, she rushes in front of a Porsche Taycan Turbo S devoid of mirrors. Motor Trend had tested the German in February, and said a stopwatch of 10.47 seconds. Moreover, if we take the measures of the American media, the Lucid does better than Porsche 918 Spyder (9,97 s) !
If you once thought of Lucid as a doomed anti-Tesla, like Faraday Future, the brand now seems to stand out. The Lucid Air will be revealed in its final version on September 9. It will begin its orders on this date. It will be necessary to watch the price, which should exceed 100,000 dollars in view of the performance, equipment and luxurious pretensions of the model.
Initially reserved for North America, the Lucid Air will be available in Europe and even in France where it is offered in pre-reservation for 900 €.
