Lucid Sapphire Dethrones Tesla Plaid as World's Quickest Production Sedan * 1/4 Mile Drag Race 

Also the cheapest

HP number is wrong.

Already been done and the Rimac easily won.

Indeed inc track pack as standard with the new sports seats ask 110-120k for it with the prototype active aero kit caught testing in 2019&2020. I bet it would lap the green hell under 7:10 easy.

WOW!

Not convinced itll be hitting 10.9s but we shall see. Model s Standard is two plaid motors, more powerful than the 1 plaid motor plus regular motor which is said to be in the ludachris model 3. And that model S barely hits 10s

@@a4Audi2153 Model S LR is just severely software limited off the line. Plus it is about 500 lbs heavier than a Model 3. The 275 wide tires in the rear will allow the Model 3 Ludicrous to greatly increase torque off the line. The 60 foot time will come WAY down for the Model 3.

Yeah Eddie a brand new Tesla model S Plaid can be ordered for $81490 from Tesla it’s way cheaper than the Sapphire …I’m interested in seeing the new Porsche Taycan GT Against Lucid Sapphire

@@Billybadassboi that's gonna be neck-a-neck! They're pretty much even in performance, quality and price!

​@Billybadassboi even though the new porche is faster. It will not win in a straight line against the 2 but I think the prime focus for porche is cornering, especially with their new suspension which is crazy.. its like a motorcycle. It will for sure outlap the 2. Let's see though

@@blakeogeris2494 yeah that Porsche Taycan GT is a track monster question is would you order it with or without the back seats a four door sedan without back seats is bonkers 😂

Also, it has a better range than the Plaid and is more like an S Class in terms of suspension and luxury. No wonder it's 3 times the price of the Plaid.

@@simonmorty8344 did anyone actually buy Plaid for 89K? And doesn't its price change from state to state (and obviously for European market) ?

​@@DragTimesLightweight package?

@@mateokovac2642 Not sure there's a lot to be gained from that pack. Seats will cut some weight, but the glass will hardly be noticeable in a car that is close to 1700 kg.

Yea tesla will have to add an entire extra motor just to compete. Unlike porsche which just improved their 2 motors and its now lighter then both of these and retained a light weight 2 motor setup. Handles way better and it's faster then the plaid. Faster then both around the track. Imagine if porsche only cared about straight line speed. 4 of their motors would be an under 8 sec easily. But they wanna still make it a great all around performance car. Porsche engineering has out done tesla at their own game in a very short amount of time.

​@@ericship8383 For an additional $160,000+ it should smoke the Plaid. You could buy an S Plaid, X Plaid and a Model 3 Performance for that.

Yes, EV tech is currently almost at its peak. They need "second gear". See what I did there? 😂

That isn't exactly any different with combustion powered vehicles. You've got cars that cost $100 $150,000 and then for a little bit extra performance you've got cars that cost 3 to $400,000. It's no different.

Tesla PLAID track pack is FASTER.

Peter Rawlinson & crew are drinking expensive alcohol tonight!

Well the .1 reaction speed helped make the gap look bigger

@@TB-vb3ov.1 r/t difference doesn’t justify the lucid casually strolling away

@@ThatBoostedBro Oh, don't get me wrong on a prepped strip the Lucid rips and should win by 2 maybe 3 cars. But it had probably nearly 4 there on thelat last run because of the slow reaction from Brooks in the Tesla. I'm just saying there's plenty of guys running low to mid 9s because of traction issues and lack of great prep. On the street, I bet the race will be even closer or back and forth because of the traction.

@@markplott4820 Good for the buyer, but not for someone who wants to have fastest 0-60

On the road the Plaid does better though. The extra torque and atock tires for the Sapphire means it spins more. On a sticky track like this the Sapphire will win by 2-3 cars

@@markplott4820 Tesla's becoming as common as a Corolla is nothing to brag about if you are a Tesla owner!

It's on another level to the Plaid than just performance. There is much better range, handling, but also drives and has suspension of something like an S Class. It's far more luxurious, and apparently, the focus wasn't when creating the Lucid was sheer speed or acceleration. It's in a completely different league to the Plaid. You get what you pay for so naturally it's going to be more expensive. It's a better product!

@@simonmorty8344 you can buy a better car than lucid sapphire. Do you know why? cuz it frickin cost 250k. i rather buy new porsche taycan.

@Just_a_random_birb Easy tiger! Just an observation on the original comment for context. I was just comparing it to the Plaid and why it was more expensive. Personally, and I love cars, but I would put my money into an appreciating asset. An EV is definitely not one of those options!

Issue is, lucid might not be around by the time you buy

Looking at what a Plaid now cost, should tell people a lot about how much of a shafting Elon gave his customers. I would be livid if I had bought a Tesla.

Don’t try. Look at the draggy data in the video in minute 8:30. Plaid vs Sapphire 100-15mph times. Plaid loses in every speed.

​@@EmoLibya Thanks, still most of the gap seems lost at low speed. 0-60 is far apart.

thats w/o the Tesla PLAID track pack, however. TESLA is Faster w/ Track pack.
