The new Lucid Air Sapphire is the beginning of Lucid's performance sub-brand. It features three motors, carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, an aerodynamic package,
new sport seats, and track-tuned suspension.

It has insane performance numbers Sub-two seconds 0-60 mph, sub-four seconds 0-100 mph, sub-nine seconds quarter mile, and top speed exceeding 200 mph. Those numbers come at a cost though. The price starts at $249,000 US and $325,000 CAD. Join James as he gives us a tour at Lucid HQ in California.

It actually looks incredible imo, they took the air and made it look so mean, the spoiler, fender flares and dark chrome really made all the difference

This car is absolutely an "If you know, you know" car. Some day I'll be sitting at a traffic light with my gf in the car with me and I'm gonna see one of these drive by and absolutely freak the fuck out and she's gonna be like "There you go again, it's just a car!"

Looks way better than the regular Air. Actually quite a good looking car. Unfortunately at super car prices I can only care so much about it

[benpossehl]

I am obsessed with the looks of this thing. 100x better than every other Lucid Air variant they make. Glad it has real wheels with real brakes and an absolutely stunning blue color. I want one!

[johnxina]

The "where's Thomas? And I'm James" intro is genuinely world class, so fucking good

[leejackson]

Going to be honest, I liked the Lucid Air a lot but this is gorgeous! This is my favourite EV

[Vorael]

A while back I thought that if I somehow owned a car company, I'd make the top performance trim level called the Azure. It'd only come in bright blue, and no other trim would be available in blue. You'd be able to look at the car and know that it was the top of the line model entirely from the paint job. Seems like Lucid had basically the same idea, except they actually, y'know, were able to make it happen. They even picked basically the same color! That's kinda neat.

I already love the Lucid Air Dream Edition, but seeing how blue is my favorite color.. this is my new Automotive love affair, absolutely gorgeous!

That laggy infotainment screen kills it for a quarter-mil priced vehicle

There is a stretch of the M40 here in England that features a long gradual incline where in the 1980s a colleague once got his Lotus to 150 mph on the down. Beyond the acceleration, I would love to see how fast this beast could go pedal to the metal descending. And the resulting speeding fine in the mail a week later: "You were recorded exceeding the mandatory speed limit of 70mph by 135 mph and therefore received 9 points on your license, an 18 month driving ban, a penalty charge of £5000 and victim surcharge of Want!

Saw a Lucid Air in traffic the other day. What a stunning car! Pricey as it is, at least it looks the part.

[BIGGELATO]

Looks stunning, but priced at CAD325, 000 is f**king ridiculous

I just discovered this second channel and I really enjoy this version of throttle house more than the main page. More genuine feel, less scripted.

[Joeromano]

With the weight of small school bus, you can't change physics around a corner. Lol

[genec]

Great looks and awesome performance with solid range. They have things going at Lucid at meeting what I want.

[Miata]

Wonderful! Can't wait.
Lucid has so many great things going on. The pace will only pick up as the new factory begins to come online.

[Anonym-dxtp]

They can’t produce their cars at scale, but release every week a new version of the Lucid Air.

[giddie]

Look at that! Large brakes on one of the fastest production cars out there! Who could have fathomed such an ingenious integration?

[SoGoblins]

$250K+ cars aren’t how you make sure your business survives…what they need right now is a more affordable car. This was a tactical error.

[blablah]

I'm in the Bay Area and at the Lucid showroom they just have a couple Sapphires sitting on to the side, covered in dust and no one cares. That is amazing having grown up in the 80s and imagining the 959 with the same scenario
