Even if you don’t go for the sapphire version, which makes 1.234 horsepower, the Lucid Air is a seriously great electric sedan. Unfortunately, Lucid, the US is much more interested than crossovers these days. Enter a clear gravity. Like Air, cheaper versions are coming (828hp Grand Touring starts at about $ 95,000), but Gravity Dream Edition worth $ 140,000 makes ridiculous 1.070 horsepower, while offering enough space for your entire immediate family. With this kind of power you know it will be fast, but recently our friends in Car and driver Tested to see how fast it really is.
In C/dTesting, gravity struck 60 miles / h in 3.1 seconds, which is seriously fast for a luxury crossover, which will inevitably be used to manage children of sports practices and the home of many fossilized old French fried, but also a quarter of a mile in more impressive 10.6 seconds at 140 miles / h. C/d It has not yet acquired the new Rivian R1 quadable, recently tested the three -mummy version and recorded a quarter of a mile of 11.1 seconds at 121 miles / h. The gravity also struck 150 miles / h in 12.3 seconds, which makes about three seconds faster to 150 miles / h than the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
Of course, the Z06 is oriented to the track version of Corvette and was not exactly built with drag races, but still. We are talking about a mid -engine supercar that has two against a family crossover that has six or seven, depending on the configuration you choose. Someone needs a famous electric minivan that is faster than Corvette Z06? Not a single bit. But you can have one if you are ready to give enough money.

Lucid gravity rear three quarters – lucid
In addition to the victory of the Rivian Rivi R1, the gravity also defeated the BMW IX M60 in a quarter of a mile time of 11.5 seconds at 120 miles / h. Meanwhile, the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV also manages it in 11.5 seconds, but cut the line with only 117 mph. It is then Lamborghini Urus Performante, which publishes 11.2-second time at 122 miles / h, as well as Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and its identical 11.2-second time at 121 mph. So yes, if it was no longer clear, gravity is ridiculous, probably even dangerously fast.
Speaking of danger, C/d The Tesla Model X Cailed Cailed Cailed Cailed Cailed, so gravity may not be the fastest SUV on sale right now. Then again, Tesla gets rid of her PR department some time back, so you may not hold your breath in anticipation of this particular test. Especially since almost no one buys the X.
While gravity turned out to be the fastest SUV that C/d He has once tested in a quarter mile that the 3.1-second time of 0-60 miles / h is not enough to place it at the top of this particular list. In fact, the 850hp Rivian R1s. Hit 60 miles / h in just 2.8 seconds, although it is over 200 hp. Then again the Rivian also makes a torque of 1 103 pounds compared to 909 on Lucid.
Upgrade to Quad-Motor R1s and get 1.025 hp and 1,198 pounds, so gravity may not hold the crown for a quarter mile for a long time. (In Jason Kamisa’s testing, the times were identical.) Then you can again get a Rivian R1s base for $ 76,990, while Lucid has not yet opened the $ 79,900 gravity tours of the gravity tours, which is probably a bigger deal. At the moment, this will happen later this year, but the way things are going on lately, who knows.
