1,100hp Lucid Air v Tuned BMW M3: DRAG RACE

Thanks to / r44erd for lending us their M3!
It’s time for the drag race you didn’t realise you needed… Until today!
We’ve got our hands on an all-new, 1,111hp Lucid Air Dream Performance, and it’s about to go head-to-head against a BMW M3!
So normally you would say this will be a slam dunk for the Lucid, after all, a stock BMW M3 comes equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six which is good for 510hp and 650Nm. However, while this M3 comes with the same engine, it’s been tuned and can now deliver an impressive 750hp and 900Nm! All this power is sent through the same 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,780kg.
So then we have the Lucid. It’s equipped with two electric motors, and they combine to produce an eye-watering 1,111hp and 1,390Nm of torque. But of course, being an EV, it’s pretty damn heavy, tipping the scales at 2,383kg. It’s also SO much more expensive than the BMW, rolling up with a price tag of over £193,000!!
So will the more powerful Lucid snatch the W? Or will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

That BMW launch was so unbelievable I had to rewind it right away to see it again to believe it!

[@lockingdiff]

I have reviewed a Lucid Air Performance (I also have a tuned G82 M4). There is a launch procedure for it to rip off the line, which I'm not sure was performed correctly here, and the car also has to be in Sprint. But yes, its initial acceleration is less vicious than a Plaid or even Taycan Turbo S. The power builds more gradually and more like an ICE, which I also found strange. But this is a luxury car and it's built to perform as such. The 1250HP Lucid Sapphire is the opposite, it's faster than a Plaid and is frightening in "Sapphire Mode" thanks to a third motor.

[@ct1762]

interesting. i wonder what the times would look like with the lucid under 30% charge and the M3 with 30% fuel remaining ? something these tests never take into account. Gasoline is unstoppable for power to weight by quite a large margin.

[@isserdigan2835]

​@@epi2045The electric motor recuperation has no influence on the break distance. The limiting factor are always the tyres.

[@ragtop63]

@@mlcad6229That’s not 100% true. The EV uses a computer to keep the breaking power as close to the line as possible. This includes regen and brake pressure. In essence, it can ride that line much better than a human can so that “rubber” contact surface is used to the maximum.

[@jonl2938]

That G80 sounds like a E46 M3! 🔥🔥🔥

No

This M3 is so impressive !! Love it, best sport sedan for the moment

[@MaxHonda-jx3ol]

That m3's upshifts were absolutely mental.

[@Red33760]

We still want a race WITHOUT Cars Yanni against Matt!

[@mrnicktoyou]

Will you shut up with that! You've been posting the same thing for years.

dude that BMW exhaust was cooking!!🔥

[@meanmugginj]

That Sapphire ain't nothing to play with can't wait to see that on this channel

[@captduncan5936]

I think you need to do a top speed test. How quick it can reach the top speed and what each car top speed is ?

[@thusmarshal8815]

I am not a BMW fan but I'd pick that bmw m3 any day from that lucid the feeling an Ice car gives you is untouchable from any ev

[@eatdirt13]

The gear changes on the M3 are crazy fast, like PDK fast or maybe even faster!

[@M-TRON]

Hey, the smoke matches the colour! That beemer definitely got tuned

[@Ziggyziggy1]

Those people who upgraded that BMW performance did an incredible job, That BMW would beat pretty much any supercar or even Hypercar! Phenomenal!

[@NoLimitSquad]

That 🐇 wanted in on the action 🎬

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great race!😸

[@AaronsTalks]

Always good to see Yianni :)

[@Geetikantha]

I am totally surprised with the M3. Incredibly tuned 😮👍🏻👍🏻

[@purwantiallan5089]

Akari Kito and Chiemi Tanaka also love this 850bhp M3.

The launch of that M3 was sick!

[@matteocecconi7560]

A really cool feature u can had to the video is the top speed at the finish line and something similar than top Gear with the timing rankings, that would be super cool

[@mancuinist]

That Lucid Air in&out is bloody stunning,i don't know what Yanni's on about....😮

[@Carrissvmf]

Looks awful especially for $200k

[@moogle68]

@@Carrissvmf literally 100k of that price is your governments import taxes, so it's not fair to complain about that. Why do Brits always have to be so nationalist about every single thing? Every other review of Lucid Air vehicles has been fantastic and performance figures back them up, but Matt has been so reluctant to compliment it in any way, and I guarantee you it's because it's from America. A little national pride is fine, but when you literally have such a bad inferiority complex that any time anyone [other country] else does anything better than you, you get emotional and can't just respect their achievement it's just childish. I guess it's not "anyone" really, since Matt compliments BMW and Merc a lot, it's just the US. Anything that is made/done over here just has to be spun as worse than how a European country would have done it. I know there are many cases where that is true, but this is not one of them. Gotta be able to recognize your own biases.

[@paulharper4196]

It's all a matter of personal taste. I agree with yianni. There's barely any EV I like the look of, they're weird for weirdness sake, shouting "look I'm an EV". I like the look of the polestar because it looks like a very smart small executive car. The kia ev6 is nice from certain angles. Other than that, they're all ugly to me.

[@KriegKadaver]

Yianni hit the nail on the head there by saying that Lucid is so Mat cuz it's weird

[@chrispaul780]

The way matt talking about yanni at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="85">1:25</a> is super sus😂😂
