The only issue with the Lucid is the lack of two motors at the rear. That’s why it loses against most super cars from the dig and Plaid S. The Sapphire is the unstoppable Lucid! I hope you guys get a hold of it.

[@vigorosoPIMPJr]

@@zeshawnfoong1799 something being expensive is subjective. A Honda might not be expensive for you but ask a homeless person if they can afford one. Or ask the average person in most 3rd world countries. Even Americans a lot can’t afford a $40k or $50k car unless they finance it. If someone is going to bench a vehicle bench it against similar market. That’s like putting Mike Tyson at his prime vs some feather weight champion. Doesn’t matter how good the feather weight guy is 1 punch and he’s gone. Price means nothing it’s all about performance vs performance.

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]

@@ct1762 The M3 can heat soak the turbo just as the Air have over heating batteries. It does not cut power at 30%. Its not a tesla

Yeap those are standard steel brakes.... On a 2.5 ton car with minimal rubber....Can't complain

[@purwantiallan5089]

Lucid Air in my opinion has some serious stopping power like Elise GT1.

[@epi2045]

I agree. I think the brakes and the electric motor regeneration give it an advantage.

[@mlcad6229]

​@@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 M3 is perfect. Sounds great, insanely fast, reasonable price. The way the exhaust blasted dust off the track when launch control was engaged at the start of the first drag race was probably my favourite thing about it.

The Lucid mags, geez what a beauty BMW All day , everyday

[@inzykhan415]

M3 is perfect dream spec! The power the colour the exhaust sound proper beast 🤩

[@devarora4969]

I think you have to put the lucid into sprint mode for full power

[@SageBlueMusic]

600hp in smooth mode

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

I expected the lucid to annihilate the m3 because of the power difference. I'm glad i was wrong. And the exhaust note on that m3 is fantastic!

[@Golfingknots]

You aren't wrong they have the lucid in smooth move at 70% power

[@RealGodfromheaven]

They didn’t have launch control on

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

So are you guys saying the lucid can a lot faster than it did in the video? I thought that was the case. Seemed a little slower than it's horsepower numbers suggest

[@TuggSpeedman-eh9ls]

I drive an M4 X-Drive and the launch is mental - can’t imagine how that feels with the tune!

[@therebul8913]

That bmw launched to space in the first race.. im loving bmw more and more everyday

[@nmarks]

Love the Lucid. Beautiful shape.

[@purwantiallan5089]

As beautiful as Toyota Chaser LM.

[@Masiii93]

Oh snap that M3 is a monster! That sound remind me of E46 M3. Wondering how model S plaid is almost second faster in quarter mile than this citroen DS with 100hp less🧐 well the sapphire is a different thing ofc. Great content as always!

[@SmOgER10]

Yeah exactly. This is a negative for Lucid if anything. At this price, I expect the performance to be similar to Plaid. Else it's just overpriced. The price is not merely "comparable" to Plaid, it's actually *significantly* more.

[@divinehatred6021]

@@SmOgER10 except that plaid is a cheaply built car

[@TheShattan]

Maybe its better than Plaid in other aspects. Like for example being able to brake more than once before they overheat. Or materials quality

[@tech010101x]

@@TheShattanThis Lucid Air has steel brakes.

I’ve been working on EVs for 10 years now and I would much prefer an ICE car. The psychological horsepower you get from a good exhaust note can do wonders for you.

[@deetee6621]

What’s that…a hundred years of noisy evolution versus the new kid on the block. Game over man. Game over. ICEs are getting more and more desperate in trying to keep up.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Mathematically Lucid Air can even outdrag the Viper GTS-R Team Oreca.

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

@@deetee6621 not sure how it’s game over if people still like the sound of a good exhaust note. It’s like saying it was game over for a violin when the electric guitar came out.

[@deetee6621]

@@MEchanicAL_LSTAR Ah, that’s easy. They just need to grow up and our lamentable governments will make sure they are taxed to hell and back for the privileged of spewing out CO2 all over the place. It is the sound of inevitability. 👍

[@deetee6621]

@@MEchanicAL_LSTAR just another thought. I love the smell and sound of a steam locomotive under full grunt. I’m not likely to pop into work on one though. :)

The lucid sapphire will also be a nice treat to watch

[@Lucas_sGarage]

The lucid catching up is why HP matters (apart from torque) torque will get you up quick, but hp will help u in the mid-high range

[@irfansalim3542]

Tuned car always more fun to see

[@atarijones5056]

Didn't expect that m3 to loose that lucid from the jump wtf 😅

[@FastLaneJB]

The problem with the Dream edition is it's just dual motor so you've roughly half power on the back wheels and half on the front. As the car lifts it cannot put all that power down and is why the Model S Plaid with 2 rear motors is quite a bit quicker. Lucid have a Sapphire edition that is tri-motor that solves this.

[@Gurjeet.Singh.02]

I think it'll be useful if you put a drone on top of the photo finish line, for a better view of who won the drag race. Other than that great videos!

[@purwantiallan5089]

Imagine if Civic Racer joins in this drag race.

[@AuraOfDream]

Upgraded turbos on that M3 and then it’s a scary sight 😳 amazing machine
