What should we race next with the Sapphire?
Nevera! th-cam.com/video/tJKLJltnPQA/w-d-xo.html
Everything!
Taycan Turbo GT
An F-15 Fighter Jet?
Every stock Dodge 170 you can find because apparently they ALL run in the 8's according to the comments I have received. So let's see all these stock 170's run them 8's.
Get em Brooks!
Somebody make a 2 door version please, this car is so sick
You have your 992 Turbo S.... forget the Sapphire and get yourself a 2nd Gen Taycan Turbo GT, it currently holds 2 records around the Nurburgring, one for EV Production, one for Any Sedan of Any Propulsion System, it's literally only 2 seconds off the Rimac Nivera time, it's stupid capable. One you definitely have to get in to review now that you're reviewing cars MKB 👌 (it's like twice as good at everything as the "current"/last gen Taycans, the whole new generation itself, not just the Turbo GT model)
@johnnygeorgopoulos4072
Very curious what the Taycan GT is going to run in the 1/4. Porsche does not like to be left behind, so it might edge out the Plaid.
@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 I don't believe that Turbo GT will be available in the states, and it will also be very limited production.
@@Thirty-Ninety I forget where I seen it, but I could've sworn one of the early reviews of the GT somewhere had stated legit 0-60 times (without the BS "1 foot rollout" which can detract as much as 2/10ths). It wasn't built to be fast in a straight line though, but with 1020hp during launch and over boost, 0-62mph (no 1ft roll, and Porsche always beat their listed times by a lot) of 2.2/2.3 and a top limited speed of 180mph, it's going to be brutally fast..... remember, Porsche is the only one's using a 2spd trans at the rear for launch and top speed. I'm the furthest person from an EV guy, I absolutely don't like them....but I would kill for a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo or a new Turbo S Cross Turismo or Turbo GT Sedan (don't believe they're making wagon versions of the GT sadly lol), those things are utterly ridiculous.
@@stmcdowell77 that's the Turbo GT with Weissach Package (removed rear seats, carbon rear "shelf" and carbon cage), the "normal" Turbo GT is available in the States.... it's just like you can buy a GT3 or GT3 RS here, but you won't get the cage everyone else gets, and I only assume because it's marketed as a sedan, they can't import it into the States without getting hit with a large fine per car with it (the Weissach Package one) physically not having, nor even able to have back seats whatsoever, along with the cage..... the "regular" Taycan Turbo GT is literally just as fast as the Weissach, except it weighs a couple hundred pounds more, but they're listing the 0-60 of each within a tenth (2.2 to 2.3, which both are a lie as they'll both go sub 2's and neither used the "typical" 1ft rollout measuring method other idiotic manufacturers like to do)
8.9 is MIND BOGGLING for ANY street car with a warranty. Excellent ceramic brakes as well? What a time to be alive. So, when are you buying one Brooks????
It truly is!! The Plaid is also mind boggling as well running a 9.4 @ 150 with a warranty for the current $89K price. Used low mile many out there for $70K. Some have removed weight and are in the 8's still with warranty.. Add the Tesla Track pack and it can turn and stop as well. The lucid sapphire and new Porsche Taycan are WAY nicer better built, but not attainable for most at $250K+. My biggest issue with fast EV's are the resale values are super sketchy!!
@ms3ben Yep. I've run 9.2s in my 22 with stock 19s and 9.3 with the 21 arachnids. Mph best of 151.
I do agree about the pricing and drops in value. Doesn't help when Elon is always changing the prices lol
Get the clown demon out of your video
Demon 170 has already done it 🤷🏻♂️
Lee Saunders ran 8.9 in his Demon 170 full interior. And Ron Silva ran 8.9 in his Demon 170, both stock tune.
$250,000 though
I do hope Lucid stays in business.
I do too, and I'm saying that as a Tesla fanboy.
It’s not looking good for most of these EV only brands like Lucid & Rivian. People are not buying them since they don’t want an EV (like me), the awful depreciation, the high price and short battery range.
@@993mikeBro, Aston Martin cars depreciate like crazy and people still buy them.
You’re not buying the car thinking on selling it.
@@ThePinchiwero tbf those cars live from their reputation and heritage. Lucid or EV brands in general dont have that, which is why Lucids dont sell.
They are in deep trouble…good luck with customer service….google it if you think I’m a hater…..they are about to go under….avoid like plague
Running 8s in a 4 doors sedan is absolutely insane
$250k to barely squeak into the 8’s… not impressive in the drag racing world.
@@speedracerjeff stay salty, maybe not when you just look at that factor. but this can also drive around town civilized if you want, is comfortable (dont tell me an 80k car with crazy tune, gutted, radials etc is comfortable to drive around the city) and can also do like a 9.2 on the street. that same car you are talking about would do like a 10 on the street or worse
@@moltres5740 yes but for the price I’d rather have a Plaid with weight reduction. There are some Plaids running 8’s that are gutted.
Or just wait until the new Model S Plaid comes out, it will still be cheaper than the Sapphire and be faster…
@@speedracerjeff but this is bone stock...
@@speedracerjeffThe Plaid is already "gutted" compared to the Sapphire when it comes to build quality, fit and finish. If you gut it even more it must become almost useless as an everyday transport, thus in fact making it very expensive since it then only becomes a dragrace toy.
Lucid Sapphire is the car you take when racing drag racer cars along with your family... What a crazy car. Btw, congrats on the record..👏
The dodge 170 guys have to be crying their promised "8" second car can't hit the number! Brooks first time driving the Lucid runs back to back 8.90's!
Great, great video Brooks!
Already been done. Lee Saunders and Ron Silva both ran 8’s in the 1/4 with their Demon 170. 🤷🏻♂️
I love the Demon 170 but a rwd gas car will be hard pressed to touch the best AWD electric cars - ever again.
No they're not 😂
@@speedracerjeff if that's true, they are the exception.
Do they drive them to the strip?
Do they have to swap out tires just for the strip?
Can they run back to back to back?
More importantly, guess what happens when a Dodge 170 runs into a Lucid Sapphire or even a Tesla Plaid on the STREET? It's bye bye time. 👋
@@tomrynkewicz7674more importantly is who’s having the most fun surely??
Demon 170 would make you smile just turning it on.
Car to car charging is such a good idea. Being able to tap into the huge battery reserve is a huge benefit for any EV. What a beautiful car as well, i love the styling
Brooks could you upload those Dragy results to the Dragy Leaderboard? There are almost Lucid results up there right now. It would be great if everyone could see what this car is capable of.
👍Color stunning, wheels, brakes, int all just class.. car leaves hard.. great job Brooks..Lucid did a fantastic job. All high end materials. And 8 sec ride. These are good times in car world..
This made me Lucid
This was awesome! Gotta love Brooks videos. This is amazing that a stock car can break into the 8's!!! Can't wait to see more of this beast and I love that color.
Thanks for your part in keeping Lucid lucid!
8's on Michelin tires that's crazy
Lucid is the “When you know…. You know” brand. I cannot believe that this is their first model 🤯
It probably helps that this isn't the first for Peter Rawlinson since he was involved with the Model S. Either way, the Sapphire is a BAMF.
$250k to barely run 8’s is not impressive in the drag racing world lol
@@speedracerjeff it is when it’s a stock luxury saloon that can comfortably seat 4 people and all their luggage and go over 350 miles on a single charge
@@sidthiru1509 you should go buy one then! Oh wait, you probably can’t since it’s not your average luxury sedan…. There’s nothing “stock” about a $250k all wheel drive sedan with 3 electric motors making over 1000hp… lol
@@speedracerjeff do you even know what stock means? 🤣 it refers to anything that is unchanged from factory. So yes this is a stock car
Holy shit 😮 that is fu.... fast Car ❤ Thanks for the Support ☝️🚀🚀🚀🚀
Brooks you and this channel are so addictive. This video was nuts. From what i saw at the end, the sapphire beat both the 170 and the plaid. Cannot wait to see if im right. Your the Goat Brooks.
When you see someone sitting behind a steering wheel with completely stretched arms you immediately know: that’s not serious driving 😂
Of course its not. Dude mashes a pedal and holds the steering wheel straight for a couple of seconds 😂
Someone’s gonna hurt their self in these high-powered EV 100% not everybody can drive a car fast with that much power on the street
Well thankfully 99% of people don't have $250,000 for that Lucid Sapphire
@@RW-zh7kl didn’t know how much they were fuck me apart from the acceleration a fucking ugly car who would give a quarter of $1 million for that
That Sapphire is no joke, what a car, just a little pricey for me. I rode in the Air Pure and it was very luxurious.
Just WOW!!! LET'S GO LUCID!!
That things taking off like a bat out of hell bro. JFC.
Let's go Lucid!
Dat launch at 07:16 JEEZ
Saffire will destroy the demon
Plaid destroys the Demon 170 and Sapphire destroys the Plaid, so yeah
Not when Demonology shows up to the party. He drags both no problem in his Demon 170.
@@speedracerjeff gotta comment on every post huh? its rare to see so much salt. Nice of you to drive engagement for Brooks. You did click on an EV video right after release to watch to comment.
@@moltres5740 I got nothing against EVs, I watch and like Brooks content, and I also follow Tesla Plaid Channel. Just hate the misinformation out there about the Demon 170 not being able to run 8’s when several have already.
The people driving this probably wear pink ties and take it from behind. I’ll rather have an 11 second hellcat than a stupid 8 second ev 🤮
Interesting fact about the Sapphire's power train, it's capable of producing over 2400 HP. It's just been limited to 1,234 HP through software.
thats not a fact, plaid can produce 1500HP at the motors but that would damage the cells, doing 2400 would cook the battery on the lucid, gas cars could do way more HP but thew would also cook themselves.
@@miguellopez3392 It is a fact. Lucid has published that information. I didn’t say anything about the batteries either. Their statement is taking about the capabilities of the motors. Go look it up.
@ragtop63 plaid motors can also produce 2400H if they reconfigured pack voltage, what they don't tell you is that's what it would hold for a few seconds, it kind of like an drag car engine, Stock they produce 300HP, but they can produce 3000HP for 7 seconds by shoving more air and fuel into the engine as fast as possible, but this will cause excessive damage just like running the electric motors at peak power, but it's more so a battery limit, 100KWH batteries can safely do 600-1000HP push them above this and they will start damaging themselves faster and faster.
@@miguellopez3392 I don't doubt that. There's a reason why electric motors are used in industrial facilities. I've been building race engines for air-cooled VWs for over 30 years. I've built motors than can sling a Type 1 down the 1/4 in less than 5 seconds. I've also built motors that can get a Type 1 under 10 seconds in the 1/4 and still be a daily driver.
I used to build electric go karts back in the early 2000's as well. It's just insane how much more power you can get from a smaller package with electric motors. The only real drawback is the power source. They're limited by the physics of the conductors and materials used to build the cells. However, that technology is getting better and better. Soon we'll be seeing "organic" cells that can produce more power than Lithium and weigh a lot less. That should help improve with power:weight as well as range.
@ragtop63 electric motors used in industrial facilities are like diesel engines used in semi trucks, low Horsepwer rating compared to the size of engines found passenger cars, the reason for this is it extends service life and reduces the chances of overheating over long work loads, I use power tools all the time. And over the years the batteries have been getting too powerful, I can stick a 18V 200wh battery on a a motor the size of my clenched fist and output 2400w, this is significantly higher power then you will find with alost all corded tools and even some gas push mowers, which corded power tools are limited to 1800w max, I can easy burn out a motor in minutes before the battery goes into a thermal shutdown. Motors have an inherent weakness where if they get too hot their magnets loose strength, and if they get hot enough the coil winding insulation cooks off and you get a short. So improvements must be made In Cooling design and efficiency to reduce heat build up, and then you can keep sending high power for longer than a handful seconds or minutes.
This thing is incredible and I actually prefer the look over the Tesla. I drove a regular air model and I’m telling you luxury is miles ahead of Tesla.
The car is fine.. It's Lucid's software that's crap. 👎
What I love about this car is that it's so clean and simple, yet, looks futuristic and contemporary.
I hope Lucid makes it into the next decade, they've been struggling lately, but then again, so have many other EV companies like Tesla and especially Fisker.
That's nuts!!! Thanks for the video Brooks
Always nice seeing everyone show up with clean cars. Every other channel needs to wake up
The sweat on the headrest says it all! If a car makes a veteran of speed like Brook sweat that crazily, you know it's a banger!
Awesome! I love mine but haven't had it on a prepped surface yet (I'm in NY). Thanks for showing the world what the car is capable of!
Wow that's fast! That looked almost painful, even. Congrats on the drag times! Will be neat to see how it does against the Plaid and other cars.
Pretty impressive!
When he took off from 0-60, it looked like he fast forwarded the video , but seen that it is the real actual footage This car is so fast it’s not normal !
If u guys remember back in the days, funny cars was doing 9 and 10 seconds by alcohol and blown motors with nitrous oxide, and those guys was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get to a 9 second pass,
Today with the kids in the back seat and the air on, it will beat them all day long in any direction , with grandkids in the back seat and a 4 door at that, crazy guys just crazy to see this performance car do this all,
It will beat any USA or out of the country sports car all over the world!
Looks wise ? It’s not all that, especially a 4 door car, I just don’t know what to say about it, would I buy one ? I don’t think I will, like the guy said , it will looose power , battery , and performance in the long run, these cars are not made to be garages and stored like todays cars are,
U can’t garage keep these cars at all,
Just like a new flashlight, u need to use it when it’s new , using a flashlight will kill the battery’s there to, same thing here , this car will only do 12 seconds in the next 7-10 years from now and it will loose everything it has to offer
They are only made to buy and drive for no more then 4-5 years tops , and they will loose all the value in time ,
If we see this car for sale in the year 2030, it will not be worth 1/2 the value , maybe 60k of that
That’s why I can’t Spend a 1/4 of a million dollars on this beast , they will and will never last to be the same in 8-10 years from now ,
Don’t waste your money guys , just buy a v8 power plant and go from there for performance
Gas wise buy a economical car to use not this ,
All and all it’s fast !
Nothing like watching a silent movie! I’ll take the top fuelers🤣
That car is incredibly fast!
That’s insane. It’s definitely a car I’ve wanted ever since I saw this go against I think a Bugatti and a motorcycle on Hagerty channel.
Car is also remarkably consistent. I watched this video and then went out and ran the exact same 60-130 on an empty stretch of road. Insane.
Dragtimes Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to test out your Friend Bryan's absolutely incredible Lucid Air Sapphire and I think it's absolutey insane that it did a 1.6 0-60 and a 8.93 1/4 mile and I can't wait to see what it can do against that Absolutely Gorgeous Demon 170 and Tesla Model S Plaid
Elon I think it’s time for that boost upgrade for our plaids… 😅💯
Shame they cancelled Plaid+ and never released it in 2021 time flies so Fast 3 years felt like 6 months....

Maybe if he would ever get the roadster out he sure knows how to drag things on for years. If I ran my business like that I would have been out if business long ago.

@@daryl9799 It’s almost as if we had a global pandemic that slowed everything down. Elon has said over and over again that the Cybertruck will come before the Roadster. The Cybertruck was recently released, the Roadster is next, he recently mentioned it will be unveiled towards the end of the year.
Thats wild! Would love to see the old vs new plaid now too!
"Yeah in Mexico"
"No No, on the track" What a guy
All I can state is ..... DAMN!!!!!! Although, what was the out the door, down the road price of that 8.9 second missle?
How does the launch compare to the Mighty REMAC?? THX.
this is amazing
Now imagine a light 2 door version. Crazy!
We need to see sapphire vs rimac
1.92s to 60 is amazing!
Absolutely ridiculous, Tesla has some competition.
@@ludicrousmodel3173 Tesla can't compete.

What is the outtro music man? Dope af
I love my Model S Plaid but Lucid Air Sapphire would the sedan i would buy over any other sedan in the world. Crazy to have a 8 sec street car with all its luxuries. Ferrari SF90 Spyder would be right next to it in my dream garage
I think what makes the Lucid more unique than ANY other drag car at the speeds it's going is the fact that the g-force on you is never goes below 1g at the top end, which can still happen even in an ICE car geared for 200mph. But the Lucid, because it's so damn slippery, just MOVES.
Wonder how quick the sapphire would be if it got tesla “tuned”, I.e., strip it down to a shell? Like how other plaid owners do and act that’s tuning it
That's crazy
Engineering Explained will be punching the air right now 😅
The sapphire and turbo gt really giving the beats to the plaid I hope lucid and Porsche collab they could be unbeatable
I think rimac components might be used in future porsche, since rimac is involved with the vw group
Add a fourth motor to the plaid and the results of that will simply change
The plaid is almost 4 years old and they cost 3x the price… i would hope they’re faster
Tesla Roadster! Just saying......
@myxalplyx this comment is like 10 years old now
What an amazing car!! 😮
Insane. Very cool
Awesome passes .
I new electric cars were faster then anything when i was racing RC cars. The gas cars would get shited on. And this was in 1994
Hell yeah, those were the days. Trinity speed gens and Panasonic P170s. Amazing how far RC has come.
Plaid track package?
It’s funny people make the price difference excuse when the lucid sapphire did 2:44.6 seconds on the Virginia raceway with only 1000 hp the plaid did 2:50.7 seconds
Thought the track mode was 750hp
The Sapphire is impressive and it actually might become worth money later in life because Lucid is hanging by a thread financially.
@@MrDede2011 hot lap mode in track mode is a little over 1000hp. endurance mode is 787 hp and dragstrip is the full 1234hp/1430tq
Not only that, the Plaid wears Cup R Tires, the Sapphire wears 4S's.
I agree with you for first time in my life.
Crazy…just crazy!!
That's insane! Great job to Lucid for making this beast. 8s in a 4 door sedan is out of this world. Tesla should make a plaid+ model s or the Roadster 2.0 to complete with this thing.
They unveil the Roadster end product at the end of the year so no point in making the Model S even quicker
I wonder if you had a tiny driver in there maybe only 120 lbs or so would it break into the 8.8s ?
Forget the Plaid or Demon, we need to see the Sapphire race a $2mil Rimac Nevera!

New batteries using graphene will be able to drop the weight and increase the range a lot as well. We are still in the early days of EVs, they are only going to get stronger

Awesome to see a good pass. I just wish these weren’t 250k
Impressive times and launch what an achievement! How's the LUCID 1/8 mph compared to the PLAID best runs?, and also the gain in Mph from 1/8 to 1/4 mile, is it any faster in the second half of the race from a roll do you think or is it mainly the launch that makes it faster?
Lucid air shappire have higher trap speed on 1/4mile than s plaid
My Plaid had a best of 151 in the 1/4 and best time of 9.2x
Also 4.6x @ 95% SOC 60-130 is my best time. This does 4.3x for 60-130mph as seen in the video. That's 3 car lengths approximately
@@TB-vb3ovwe actually have a couple faster 60-130 in the 4.2x range
There are Model S Plaids running 8’s with weight reduction 🤷🏻♂️
Hey brooks when are you getting your Revuelto?
soon I hope, it finished production a few months ago...
The 60' time for something that heavy is insane. Not that the rest of the run isn't haha
How do they make dragstrip so sticky ?
That Dragtimes neck sweat 😅
Very nice
Gezz thats quick
The lucid sounds like a jet rolling!!!!
@futuristic_car_channel That was all sticky tire noise.
@futuristic_car_channel Yeah I can't see them either. That's odd. Not sure why.
@futuristic_car_channel Guess our post were too controversial and got taken down ;) Or it's glitching
What's the 60-130 and 1/4 difference on a new Plaid vs one with 30-40k on it?
coming soon...
The cars are mating 😂
They have an electric car that looks like a formula one almost that has a fan on it. Sounds crazy, it ran an 8.6
Proud to say that Leather comes from Scotland...
Wow that's incredible. I'd still rather have the S Plaid though because for one the sapphire is too much $ for me. Even the Plaid would be a stretch at this point.
Two while the interior looks really nice, the outside looks like a cheap Chevy Malibu or something.
Three I guess I'm just a Tesla fanboy because I just got a MYP.
Four I love the screen effects when you drag race the plaid. That's worth half a second right there 😂
It does look as if you can see the g-force distorting Brooks face, especially during that second pass. It looks as if it would be a bit painful to experience. I'd like to see what it would look like with a heavier set person who isn't in such good shape as Brooks is.
Wow oh wow, plaid killer!
Damn, that is getting closer to the $2.4 million Nevera's which did a 1.74 0-60 and a 8.25 quarter mile! I know the customer SAPHIRE is $250,000, but how much is the one Brooks tested?
*$249,000 and it is as is from the get go
My goodness..well done but I cant not be more than bored...
That's insane! Any plans to trade the plaid for it?! Or just wait and see if tesla comes out with something like the plaid plus?
They're making the next-gen roadster which will undoubtably blow away the sapphire, however they're in different categories. A Plaid+ model S would be cool.
That ice engine Hellcat have is work cut out again the Lucid & plaid. ICE engine mean ( Internal Combustion Engine)😊
Now they need a cheap out interior one like the plaid so people will buy. You can’t combine that performance with luxury, it’s a little much and that’s why price is insane. Plaid is only 80k now
After fucking over every owner in existence prior to the massive price drops $-30k + within two years… and the horde uses this as a POSITIVE… saying the Plaid is cheap… incredible levels of simping occurring in 2024
Wow, that is crazy fast! However, I was still take the model S plaid over that because that lucid is Fugly as can be.
Honestly, a Model 3 Performance is more than fast enough for me and waaaayyy cheaper
Agreed
