The big competitor of Tesla – the company Lucid presented a new version of the Air sedan, which is called Sapphire.
According to the CEO Peter Rawlinson, this is 'the world's first ultra-luxury electric sedan'. The powertrain consists of three motors – two on the rear axle and one on the front. They are with microjet cooling, a new heat exchange technology, and more powerful batteries.
Lucid Air Sapphire has more power than the current top version of the model (Air - Grand Touring Performance with 1050 hp), as it exceeds 1200 hp. The sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h takes less than 2 seconds. The brakes are carbon-ceramic and provide fast and safe braking.
Series production of the luxury electric car is expected to start in the first half of 2023.
