Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com8, September 9, 2020, American electric vehicle startup Lucid released its first electric vehicle, the Lucid Air. In September 2021, Lucid began production and delivery of Lucid Air Dream Edition. In April this year, Lucid launched Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance, which sells for about 1.14 million yuan.

Yesterday, Lucid launched a top-of-the-line electric sports car, Lucid Air Sapphire Edition, which is equipped with three electric powertrains, two rear motors and one front motor. Lucid claims that Lucid Air Sapphire Edition has more than 1200 horsepower, which is 200 more than Tesla's Model S Plaid. However, Lucid officials have not yet released specific values such as the car's torque.

According to officials, Lucid Air Sapphire Edition's two rear motors are equipped with new heat exchanger technology and higher coolant flow. At the same time, in order to gain higher power and reduce heat, Lucid Air Sapphire Edition has upgraded a brand new battery system. Lucid claims that it takes less than 2 seconds for the Lucid Air Sapphire Edition to complete acceleration of 0 to 60 miles (about 160.93 kilometers) and less than four seconds for acceleration of 0 to 100 miles (kilometers), with a top speed of more than 321.87 miles (321.87 kilometers) per hour.

In the face of such strong power, Lucid Air Sapphire Edition's braking system has also been upgraded. The car uses carbon ceramic brakes, changes the spring rate, adds a rocker, and upgrades the power steering and ABS system. In addition, the car uses 20-inch tires in the front wheels and 21-inch tires in the rear wheels, all using custom composite wheels.

CTOnews.com learned that the Lucid Air Sapphire Edition had a blue look and a duck-billed spoiler in the rear. The car, which sells for $249000 (about 1.6982 million yuan), will begin booking on Aug. 23 local time and is expected to be delivered next year.
