Thanks to / r44erd for lending us their M3!
It’s time for the drag race you didn’t realise you needed… Until today!
We’ve got our hands on an all-new, 1,111hp Lucid Air Dream Performance, and it’s about to go head-to-head against a BMW M3!
So normally you would say this will be a slam dunk for the Lucid, after all, a stock BMW M3 comes equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six which is good for 510hp and 650Nm. However, while this M3 comes with the same engine, it’s been tuned and can now deliver an impressive 750hp and 900Nm! All this power is sent through the same 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,780kg.
So then we have the Lucid. It’s equipped with two electric motors, and they combine to produce an eye-watering 1,111hp and 1,390Nm of torque. But of course, being an EV, it’s pretty damn heavy, tipping the scales at 2,383kg. It’s also SO much more expensive than the BMW, rolling up with a price tag of over £193,000!!
So will the more powerful Lucid snatch the W? Or will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

  • I have reviewed a Lucid Air Performance (I also have a tuned G82 M4). There is a launch procedure for it to rip off the line, which I'm not sure was performed correctly here, and the car also has to be in Sprint. But yes, its initial acceleration is less vicious than a Plaid or even Taycan Turbo S. The power builds more gradually and more like an ICE, which I also found strange. But this is a luxury car and it's built to perform as such. The 1250HP Lucid Sapphire is the opposite, it's faster than a Plaid and is frightening in "Sapphire Mode" thanks to a third motor.

And In the first 2 modes it's quick , but in sprint it became mental. No I'm not dogging the BMW it's fast in its own right. But they should have raced it with the lucid in sprint mode with launch control used also. That would have been a more direct competition.

    • @@Carrissvmf literally 100k of that price is your governments import taxes, so it's not fair to complain about that. Why do Brits always have to be so nationalist about every single thing? Every other review of Lucid Air vehicles has been fantastic and performance figures back them up, but Matt has been so reluctant to compliment it in any way, and I guarantee you it's because it's from America. A little national pride is fine, but when you literally have such a bad inferiority complex that any time anyone [other country] else does anything better than you, you get emotional and can't just respect their achievement it's just childish. I guess it's not "anyone" really, since Matt compliments BMW and Merc a lot, it's just the US. Anything that is made/done over here just has to be spun as worse than how a European country would have done it. I know there are many cases where that is true, but this is not one of them. Gotta be able to recognize your own biases.
