Lucid Air Sapphire, a comfortable 5-seater electric family sedan recently set a staggering quarter-mile time of 8.989 seconds on a prepared drag strip.<\/p>\n
The electric family sedan from Lucid beat most other purpose-built hypercars with this feat. To give context, only 12 cars currently in production have a quarter-mile time of less than 10 seconds. Moreover, the only production car in the world to have a sub-9-second quarter-mile time is the Rimac Nevera.<\/p>\n
The Lucid Air Sapphire was driven by Ben Collins, formerly ‘The Stig’ on the Top Gear television series. Collins drove the car on the Sonoma Raceway, California; where he took a lap of the racetrack and also set the quarter-mile time.<\/p>\n
The Air Sapphire, although a 5-seater electric sedan, does come with a large powertrain. The EV is powered by three electric motors churning out a combined power output of 1,234 BHP. Apart from its impressive quarter-mile time, Lucid also states that the Air Sapphire is capable of sprinting from 0-96 km\/h in 1.89 seconds and reach a top speed of 330 km\/h.<\/p>\n
