by The Lucid Air electric car will finally go into production. The Tesla competitor from the Chinese startup will start production in California in the spring of 2021 and it turned out to be very interesting.
To begin with, the top 1080-horsepower all-wheel-drive version for $169,000 will initially go on sale. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.5 s and covers a quarter mile in 9.9 s.
Then an 800-horsepower Grand Touring version ($139,000) will appear with a 113 kWh battery and an enormous range of 832 km. How about that, Elon Musk?
Later, more affordable versions will be offered, but even the base rear-wheel-drive version for $72,500 can travel 385 km without recharging.
Lucid Air turned out to be very swift, and not just in appearance. Its drag coefficient is 0.21, making it the most aerodynamic production car in the world.
Even the new Mercedes S-Class is inferior to the Lucid Air.
Inside, the large 34-inch curved display immediately catches the eye. Lucid Air is quite large, making it very spacious with a capacious 739-liter trunk. Among the options, there is a promise of an advanced autopilot.
