2024 Lucid Air Sapphire Review: Prepare to Swear

Behold, friends, the fastest production sedan ever made — the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire. It’s an all-electric, triple-motored, 1,234-horsepower beast that can rocket from 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds. Nothing you’ve ever experienced, short of you fighter-pilot viewers being launched off the deck of an aircraft carrier, can prepare you for that kind of unbridled, unbelievable and unfathomable speed. Lucid’s ultimate performance sedan blows away all comers and does so with an incredible level of refinement, comfort, luxury and handling balance that gives it a remarkable title for our Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman: the Best Thing He’s Driven All Year.

We can’t truly show you just how fast this thing is on public roads; we’d surely get into trouble if we did. And we can’t really enunciate with words just what it feels like to drive the new Air Sapphire; we’d get banned from YouTube for bad language violations. Suffice it to say that every passenger that rode next to Bragman during his week with the Air Sapphire swore at least once when he hit the go-pedal. You can’t help it; it’s just that mind-blowing. Click through to watch his take on the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire to see what we mean.
