Written By: CarPro | Aug 15, 2023 5:04:53 PM

CarPro Show radio host Jerry Reynolds is a big fan of the Lucid Air, going so far as to say it's the first electric vehicle he would consider purchasing (check out his 2023 Lucid Air Touring video review here.)   The Lucid Air Touring can clock an impressive 0-to-60 in just 3.4 seconds. 

But now comes the Lucid Air Sapphire, Lucid's new $249,000 Halo all-electric "Super-Sports" sedan.  It's 0-60 time?  An incredible 1.89 seconds! 0-to-100 mph? A mere 3.84 seconds.   

The incredible performance stats don't stop there.

Other specs include:

  • 1,234 horsepower
  • the quarter mile in 8.95 seconds
  • 3.61 mi/kWh 
  • a top speed of 205 mph

The Lucid Air Sapphire also has an EPA-estimated range of 427-miles and is capable of ultra-fast 900V+ charging.

The Lucid Air Sapphire features three motors, four driving modes, carbon-ceramic brakes, a special aerodynamic package, sport seats, track-tuned suspension, and more.
