Bugatti Chiron

A recent video shows a race between not only the fastest EV sedans, but the fastest gas-powered car and a motorcycle to boot.

The Lucid pulled away from the Plaid, which itself was pulling away from the Buggati, which was supposed to have the most power of the three. The Lucid and the Tesla are even remotely affordable for people to consider commuting in. A Model S Plaid can get you kicked out of a drag strip because it’s too fast to be run without a roll cage, harnesses, and other required safety gear, and it’s ready to rock on the streets at that power and acceleration level.

Getting into these kinds of acceleration numbers, the fact is that now that power isn’t the only factor. Every one of the cars Hagerty tested against each other could easily get to 155 within a quarter mile. When they did this, 155 seemed like a good limit because it took time for cars to even get up to that speed. Before they get to the race itself, they went through some history. That vehicle also has some impressive top speed records under its belt, so this may be somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison, but it’s interesting to put in there to keep people from getting confused about what vehicles accelerate the fastest in 2022. They’ve got the Lucid Air Sapphire, the fastest car Lucid sells now. As you’d probably guess, Lucid Air Sapphire’s 3-motor powertrain delivers a considerable amount of horsepower that surpasses the 1,050 hp from its dual motor siblings. “With three state-of-the-art electric motors — all developed and manufactured in-house by Lucid — Lucid Air Sapphire reaches an entirely new level of performance,” said Eric Bach, SVP of Product and Chief Engineer, Lucid Group, at the time Sapphire was announced.
