American automaker @lucidmotors has unveiled its $250,000 USD "Ultra-High-Performance" EV Line.⁠ ⁠ The vehicle is named Saphire and offers a complete premium experience using a powertrain of three motors with two at the rear and one up front to push out a staggering 1,200 HP, translating to a sub-two-second 0-60 mph time and a 0-100 mph time of less than four seconds. At a top speed of 200 mph, it’ll also cover a quarter mile in just under nine seconds.⁠ ⁠ The American EV boasts wider bodywork on the exterior allowing the Lucid Air Sapphire to fit the automaker’s own Aero Sapphire wheels with special Michelin tires, providing more contact with the asphalt. You can also expect custom tuning from a whole series of features such as antilock braking and power steering as well as stiffer bushings and suspension system. For those interested in the Lucid Air Sapphire, the automaker will start accepting pre-orders for the premium EV starting on August 23. Pricing starts at $249,000 USD.
