The 1234-hp EV is one of the quickest cars ever built. We got to drive the new luxury liner at Sonoma Raceway, where Lucid showed off its eye-bulging acceleration on the drag strip.
Between about 1910 and 1952, 35 different ocean liners held the completely unofficial, totally marketable, wholly awesome “Blue Riband.” Though the award was informal, it was widely known that the ship that held it was the fastest across the Atlantic. It was likely more prestigious because it was unsanctioned.The Blue Riband went to such legendary liners as the Mauretania, Bremen, Normandie, Queen Mary, and United States. Ships that were awesomely fast but also luxurious, steady and comfortable.
That bounces total thrust available up from Lucid Air Dream Edition’s 1111 hp and 1025 lb-ft of consistent torque to 1234 hp and 1430 lb-ft of torque. That 209 lb-ft of additional torque means the 100 lbs of extra heft is easily overwhelmed.Despite this increase in pure grunt, the Sapphire still doesn’t feel as a ridiculously violent during hard acceleration as a Tesla Model S Plaid.
