Lucid Air Sapphire: The World’s First Luxury Electric Super-Sports Sedan Unveiled

Electrifying Performance That
Redefines Limits

Lucid didn’t hold back with the Air Sapphire. Under the hood (well, not
exactly a hood in an EV), lies a ferocious three-motor electric powertrain,
entirely designed and manufactured in-house. This technological marvel
unleashes a mind-blowing 1,234 horsepower and a staggering 1,430
lb-ft of torque. That’s enough muscle to leave even the most seasoned
petrolheads awestruck.

Imagine rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds. The
surge of acceleration will pin you to your seat, leaving you breathless. But
the magic doesn’t end there. Lucid has meticulously crafted the Air Sapphire’s
aerodynamics for superior stability and handling. It carves corners with
precision, defying the laws of physics for a car of its size.

And here’s the kicker: despite the earth-shattering performance, the Air
Sapphire manages to deliver an impressive EPA-estimated range of 427 miles
on a single charge (with standard wheel covers). This remarkable feat speaks
volumes about Lucid’s commitment to efficiency and range anxiety mitigation.

Features That Epitomize Luxury
and Technology

The Lucid Air Sapphire isn’t just about raw power; it’s a luxurious
cocoon designed to pamper your senses. Stepping inside reveals a spacious,
exquisitely crafted cabin adorned with premium materials like Nappa leather and
authentic wood accents. Every touchpoint exudes sophistication, creating an
ambiance that rivals the finest executive sedans.

Technology seamlessly integrates into the driving experience. A panoramic
glass roof bathes the interior in natural light, while a curvaceous 34-inch
wraparound display dominates the dashboard, providing vital information and
entertainment options at your fingertips. Cutting-edge driver-assistance
features like Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering and Automated
Emergency Braking ensure a confident and safe ride.

But the party trick? The Lucid Air Sapphire boasts a euphonic surround
sound system meticulously tuned by Grammy Award-winning engineer Peter McGrath.
Prepare to be enveloped in a concert-like audio experience, no matter the music
genre.

The Sapphire features a unique exterior design optimized for high-speed
downforce and efficiency, with an exclusive Sapphire Blue paint and Stealth
Look trim. It rides on bespoke Aero Sapphire wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport
4S tires and removable carbon fiber aero disk covers. The cabin features a new
Sapphire Mojave interior theme with specially designed sport seats that provide
excellent support and comfort.

The Air Sapphire introduces four drive modes – Smooth, Swift, Sapphire,
and Track – that influence the suspension, steering, brakes, torque vectoring,
power delivery, and thermal management. Track mode includes three sub-modes –
Dragstrip, Hot Lap, and Endurance – for optimal track performance.

Other key features include a retuned suspension with stiffer springs and
bushings, revised steering geometry, carbon ceramic brakes, an aluminum roof,
and a 21-speaker Surreal Sound Pro audio system. 

Pricing and Availability:
Owning a Piece of the Future

The Lucid Air Sapphire undoubtedly sits at the pinnacle of electric
luxury. The price tag reflects its exclusivity, with a starting MSRP of $249,000.
This positions it as a competitor to high-performance gasoline-powered luxury
sedans, but with the added benefit of sustainable, zero-emission operation.

Deliveries for the Lucid Air Sapphire are expected to commence in late
2024. However, reservations are open now on Lucid Motors’ official website here, so if you’re looking
to own a piece of the future and redefine your driving experience, securing
your spot in line is paramount.
