Lucid Air Sapphire Beats Tesla Model S, Bugatti Chiron In Quarter-Mile Drag Race via insideevs.com
It managed to cross the finish line in 9.1 seconds, two tenths quicker than the Tesla and Bugatti, both of which completed the race in 9.3 seconds, essentially making it a tie for second place. Interestingly, the Lucid isn’t that much quicker than the Tesla to reach 60 mph from standstill, as both get there in about 2.1 seconds, with a 0.03-second advantage to the former.
And you can even see this in the video – the two EVs start the race side by side and the Lucid doesn’t start building a lead until the cars have picked up some speed. Both are still way quicker to sprint than the Bugatti, which launches extremely aggressively yet cannot match the other two cars’ ability to put their power down with their superior ability to control traction.
So the Lucid Air Sapphire was predictably quicker than both vehicles lined up against it, but they also decided to see how a 210-horsepower Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 would compare. It was definitely a close run between these two vehicles, but the Lucid still won, even though by the end of the run the motorbike had a achieved a higher sped of 157 mph , so it could have potentially caught up to the Air and passed it in a longer race.
