Luxury electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors unveiled the new Lucid Air Sapphire Edition, a top-of-the-line sedan, which the company says will do zero to 60mph in under two seconds, zero to 100mph in under four seconds, and the quarter-mile in under nine seconds. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The new Sapphire Edition, which was revealed Friday during Monterey Car Week, pairs a number of the features from Lucid\u2019s lower trim models like the Dream Edition and the Grand Touring Performance Edition. First, the new version of the Air gets three motors, two at the rear and one at the front, that Lucid says brings the estimated horsepower up to 1,200. <\/p>\n

At the time of release, Lucid didn\u2019t offer up any torque numbers, but as Eric Bach said during an early briefing for journalists, \u201cLucid is redefining what the family sedan can do,\u201d with the release of the new model. <\/p>\n

The twin rear-drive unit gets two 500kW inverters that are based on those in the Dream Performance Edition, plus custom planetary gear reduction units. That rear setup allows for torque to be applied to each wheel in opposite directions so that the Sapphire Edition will get more stability and control. The system can also apply regenerative braking to individual rear wheels to make the large sedan corner more precisely. <\/p>\n
