Lucid Air v Porsche Taycan Turbo S: DRAG RACE

The Lucid Air is HERE, and it’s going up against one of the fastest electric cars we’ve featured on our channel - the Porsche Taycan Turbo S!
So let’s see how these all-electric animals stack up. Starting with the Porsche, it’s equipped with two electric motors that can deliver 761hp and 1,050Nm of torque. It’s pretty heavy, mind, tipping the scales at 2,295kg, and it’s also pretty pricey, coming in at £148,000.
However, the Porsche looks almost cheap compared to the Lucid, which costs an eye-watering £193,000! But then again, it’s not the price that’s more than the Porsche, so is the price! It’s also equipped with two electric motors, but they combine to deliver an amazing 1,111hp and 1,390Nm! It’s also slightly heavier, weighing in at 2,383kg.
So surely it’ll be a clean sweep for the more powerful Lucid, right? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Another thing is that Porsche has 761 hp only during launch control (they call it overboost). When cruising it goes down to 625 hp. It would be really cool and probably more useful (overtaking etc.) if they allowed driver to activate overboost with press of a button (similar to sport response).

It was communicated like that, but for some reason, the Taycan activates boost mode in sport plus sometimes as well. Only for a few seconds again though.

The rimac is worth $2 million dollars and they only made a handful. Simply not sustainable, but nice though.

I love it when they use Yianni on the channel. Always invite him, please. Great stuff and let Yianni get the choice he made haha

[@jhnns_wndlng]

how is 10:18 not a jump start? it's easy to recognize even with 1x speed and absolutely clear with 0.25x speed. I thought they were supposed to launch as soon as the person lowers their arms?

[@Nominal_Vessel]

I've got a great drag race idea. Get the lucid air go up against a modified car with around the same horsepower to see the difference between ICE and electric

[@joshua35619]

When they release the new Lucid Sapphire you should definitely drag race that, it's got 1200+ hp!!! It even beat the Tesla plaid.

[@sanelegazu8718]

😂 when yianni was doing count down i thought it was a brake test already for a moment😂😂😂

[@ehzesproduction]

Matt if you start using a light 🚦you should have better reaction time. Pleaseee switch to using lights instead of the arm drop.

14:30 definitely the most based take on the brakes situation of Plaid. Absolutely nailed it👌

[@aussie2uGA]

They're Brembos. I thought Brembo made good brakes?

[@BVZTIII]

@@aussie2uGA only as good as the client - Tesla - demands them. I just knew about the problems from various videos, but your comment made me look up the actual data now ✌️😁 The Model S Plaid has 395/365 mm (F/R) brake disks, which is actually bigger than the Taycan's stock 360/358 mm (F/R), *BUT* while the Taycan has 6/4 pistons (F/R), the Model S Plaid only has 4/1 pistons (F/R), the rear piston being a swimming variant. That's absolutely disgusting, especially considering the Plaid's weight and power! Furthermore, the Taycan has air ducts installed underneath the chassis, facing the brake disks from inside the wheel house and thus passively cooling them with the natural airstream while driving. Tesla didn't install such a system at all. Have to thank you though. Learned something again 🙃

Well, we all know what has to be next, Lucid Air vs Tesla Plaid!

[@x32i77]

Rimac vs sapphire Lucid Air 🔥🔥🔥 vs Koenigsegg

[@kingGfour]

The lucid air sapphire absolutely destroyed the plaid

[@x32i77]

@@kingGfour yeah sapphire is insanely nice to have , but a bit pricey though compared to the plaid. Not sure if it's worth it

[@sorka95032]

@@kingGfour We already know what happened. The Plaid destroyed the air. Over 1 second faster in the 1/4 mile. The Sapphire doesn't exist yet.

[@kingGfour]

@@sorka95032 it will exist tho and it destroyed the plaid

[@top10nation55]

Should get the lucid sapphire now that would be a awesome race 🎉

[@Diffusion8]

Matt definitely jumped that last start. No question about it.
