Lucid Motors begins production of Air Sapphire, world's fastest electric sedan with 1,234 horsepower, three motors, 200 mph top speed, 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds, 420 miles EPA range. The Air Sapphire's performance metrics establish it as the most powerful production electric sedan ever created, directly competing with Tesla Model S Plaid while delivering superior performance and range metrics that establish Lucid as premium EV leader in ultra-high-performance electric vehicle segment. The three-motor configuration includes one front motor and two rear motors, providing independent torque control for each axle and enabling advanced traction management systems that optimize power delivery based on driving conditions. This dual-rear-motor setup enables torque vectoring that improves handling, stability, and acceleration performance, allowing the Air Sapphire to achieve 0-60 mph in just 1.89 seconds, which is faster than most supercars and competition-grade race cars, demonstrating electric powertrain's ability to deliver instantaneous torque and acceleration that combustion engines cannot match. The 1,234 horsepower output comes from Lucid's advanced electric motor technology, which…
