Ben Collins, formerly known as The Stig from Top Gear&rsquo;s television series, has taken it to a whole new level with the Lucid Air Sapphire.<\/p>\n<p><!--  [Mobile]med_rect_atf --><\/p>\n<div data-pw-mobi=\"med_rect_atf\" id=\"pwMobiMedRectAtf\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag(\"pwMobiMedRectAtf\");\n  })\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/video\/\">the wheel<\/a> of the car, Collins was given two empty tracks to play with at a recent launch event at Sonoma Raceway, in California. With the high-powered electric sedan, he took a lap of the racetrack, and set a quarter-mile time of 8.989 seconds on a prepared drag strip.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s a remarkable number, but it&rsquo;s one that needs a little context. There was a time in recent memory when running a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/drag-racing\/\">quarter-mile drag<\/a> in less than 10 seconds was the exclusive province of purpose-built racecars. Prior to the year 2000, it didn&rsquo;t matter how much money you spent, even if you sold your soul for a McLaren F1, you could only complete the sprint in 10.8 seconds.<\/p>\n<div class='in-asd-content'>\n<h6>advertisement scroll to continue<\/h6>\n<div data-pw-desk='med_rect_atf' id='pwDeskMedRectAtf'><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript'>\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag('pwDeskMedRectAtf');\n  })\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  [Mobile]med_rect_btf --><\/p>\n<div data-pw-mobi=\"med_rect_btf\" id=\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window.ramp.que.push(function () {\n      window.ramp.addTag(\"pwMobiMedRectBtf1\");\n  })\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/09\/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-meets-its-match-in-the-tesla-model-s-plaid\/\">Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Meets Its Match In The Tesla Model S Plaid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sub-9 Second Quarter-Mile | Lucid Air Sapphire | Lucid Motors\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZkxRXh06HgM?feature=oembed\" onload=\"resizeIframe(this,this.parentElement);\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Although there are now 12 production cars that can run a quarter in less than 10 seconds, per <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration\">Wikipedia<\/a>, a quarter of those are variants of the Bugatti Chiron. Meanwhile, the only production car on earth that is listed as having run this distance in less than nine seconds is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/08\/rimac-nevera-and-mcmurtry-spierling-show-a-red-bull-f1-car-whats-what\/\">the Rimac Nevera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So it&rsquo;s impressive that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/lucid-air\/\">Lucid Air<\/a>, a comfortable family sedan with five seats, can do what bespoke, two-seat hypercars with monstrous displacements and even bigger cylinder counts can&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Although it is a family sedan with 427 miles (687 km) of range, there can be no doubt that it&rsquo;s a focused performer. Its three motors combine to put out 1,234 hp (920 kW\/1,251 PS), and get it to 60 mph (96 km\/h) in just 1.89 seconds. And it&rsquo;ll keep building speed until it reaches a top speed of 205 mph (330 km\/h).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lightning Lap with Ben Collins | Sonoma Raceway | Lucid Motors\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xOhtUzKrIoE?feature=oembed\" onload=\"resizeIframe(this,this.parentElement);\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>All of which makes it &ldquo;a monster,&rdquo; according to Collins. But it isn&rsquo;t just a monster in a straight line. Designed to be the ultimate performance sedan, it&rsquo;s also quite handy on a proper racetrack.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;ve put these gigantic brake discs to help stop this car in a short space, and to give it the repeatability, you need that around this place because you&rsquo;re having to put such big braking inputs,&rdquo; says Collins. &ldquo;And the grip is really supporting this car. And it&rsquo;s nimble, I can fine tune it on the throttle. You can see my steering inputs, quite surgical.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A monster on the track, it also has a price that could scare a few towns folk. Starting at $249,000, the Air Sapphire is no joke on the road, nor on the price sheet.<\/p>\n<p>        <a
