- The 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire is one of the quickest vehicles ever made.
- It features a tri-motor setup, with two motors in the back and one in the front, providing all-wheel drive.
- The car produces 1,234 horsepower, delivered via software, as there is no mechanical limited slip differential.
- It uses 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels with custom Michelin PS4S tires.
- The front track is wider, and it has a unique suspension setup compared to other Lucid Air models.

- The smooth mode limits horsepower to 767, while other modes use all of the horsepower.
- A Hot Lap mode focuses on peak single-lap performance, while the Endurance mode allows for peak performance over multiple laps.
- There is no "squirliness", yankiness, or torque steer. It feels controlled and balanced, though a bit “mental”.
