If you haven’t been able to watch the video or just want to see the outstanding achievements, here are the finer details of what happened. Half Lucid Air Sapphire won, which shouldn’t come as a surprise when you consider that it has 180 extra horsepower compared to the Tesla. Air Sapphire covered 400 meters in 9.1 seconds and reached a speed of 251 km/h.
Tesla Model S Plaid finished the 400 meters in 9.3 seconds and reached a top speed of 244 km/h. Bugatti finished with Tesla in 9.3 seconds and we can say that it was a draw.
From 0 to 100 km/h, the Lucid Air Sapphire took 0.03 seconds shorter than the Tesla Model S Plaid, but still recorded an equal 2.1 seconds. Chiron completed this time in 2.3 seconds.
Lucid Air Sapphire starts at $249,000, which is a lot, but at least you can boast that your car accelerates faster than the fastest Tesla. Still, it is worth remembering that there are up to 10 times the difference between the fastest electric vehicles and the fastest internal combustion (gasoline) vehicles.
