The Lucid Air Sapphire has been named the Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2024 finalist, despite unforeseen logistics. The electric car, powered by three electric motors, has a combined 1,234 hp and 1,430 lb-ft of torque, and a 118-kwh battery pack. It delivers impressive performance statistics, with 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 3.8 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 9.0 seconds at 158 mph. The Sapphire’s ability to carve corners with precision and a natural feel is impressive, as it shifts power front to back and vectors it side to side in the rear to rotate the car through turns. The suspension has been retuned and upgraded, providing a composed and controlled ride even at fast speeds. The brakes have been upgraded with massive carbon-ceramic rotors and 10-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. The Air Sapphire can only take to the track for two or three laps, depending on the track, and requires a fast charger to cool the system and recharge the battery.
