Lucid Group, the publicly traded EV manufacturer, has launched a new high-performance luxury brand called Sapphire that pushes the bounds of performance and price. As part of the public debut, which occurred Friday morning at the Quail Lodge during Monterey Car Week, the company gave its first EV — the Lucid Air sedan — the Sapphire treatment. That means more than just a new paint color, interior theme with highly bolstered 18-way power sport seats upholstered in black leather and a…

Are you considering a Lucid Air, but worried you might not outrun a Model S Plaid in a drag race? That might not be a problem if you have a large-enough bank account. Lucid has introduced a Sapphire badge devoted to "ultra-high-performance" EVs. The first model in the line, the Lucid Air Sapphire, promises to outperform Tesla's Plaid cars in at least some conditions — and not just in a straight line. The Air Sapphire centers around a tri-motor system (one front, two rear) producing over 1,200HP, topping even the…

We're not sure that the market has been clamoring for a Lucid Air sedan even more powerful and expensive than the $169K 1,111-hp Dream Edition, so much as something that's actually anywhere near affordable for the average driver, but it's getting the former, anyway. Dressed as it's named, the deep-blue Air Sapphire aims to be known as the world's first "fully electric luxury super-sports sedan." It combines Lucid's roomy sedan architecture with a 1,200-hp triple-motor powertrain for a sub-2-second 0-60 and sub-4-second…

That’s tremendously impressive in a full-size, fully-electric luxury sedan and potentially makes the new sapphire blue car the most powerful production sedan on the market, beating out the previous record holder, the Tesla Model S Plaid.…

Following a less than stellar Q2 financial report last week, Lucid Motors is diverting the public’s eyes to a shiny new exterior design add-on for the Air sedan called “Stealth Look.” This darker, sportier design replaces thirty-five exterior components on the Air and will come as a choosable option to compliment any of the five color options currently available. Since beginning deliveries of its flagship Air sedan last fall, Lucid Motors has faced a common issue with young EV automakers, ramping up scaled vehicle…

Lucid is embracing the dark side with a new trim option for its Air electric vehicle. The idea behind "Stealth Look" is to give the car a "darker and overtly sporting personality," according to the automaker. If you select this option, Lucid will swap out 35 exterior components that have a platinum finish for versions with a darker appearance, with black gloss and satin graphite accents on some parts. Among the elements that will have this look are the mirror caps, the frame for the glass roof, the trim around the…
