How Lucid Motors Space Concept Influenced The Air EV Powertrain Design

Thanks to all the space Lucid saves with this innovative design, they have the chance to shape the vehicle in non-conventional ways. So while there's more space inside for people and things, the vehicle itself can maintain a smaller overall footprint. To demonstrate what that means for us automotive enthusiasts is that the Air – which is 195.5 inches long – should handle as well, if not better, than a similarly sized car such as the BMW M5 (194.6 inches) while being able to carry passengers in the comfort and luxury that could only be experienced in something like the 7 Series. That's well demonstrated in its Laguna Seca lap record . While we can be sure that very few Lucid owners will be tracking their cars, it's encouraging to see this new company keeping an eye planted on real driving performance as a part of their benchmark

In addition, every version of the Tesla Model 3 beats out almost every other car on the list in terms of the 0-60 mile per hour acceleration rating. The only cars that beat out the Model 3's slower trims, like the Standard and Standard Plus, are some BMW options, like the 340i and 4


When Lucid Motors teased their "Lucid Space Concept," we couldn't be sure how much if any of the advanced design would make its way to their road cars, and today, with the release of the Air Dream Edition , we can confirm that it's a major part of the puzzle. The Space concept advances the EV space in multiple facets that allow for more interior space overall. In the case of the Air Dream Edition, it contributes to its claim to have best-in-class interior space snatching that title from the likes of Tesla . The space savings aren't just for the passenger cabin tho

It should be no surprise to see Audi appear on this list. They might not have the same feel as a Mercedes, but they are no less luxurious. The A6 is no exception to that rule either. Audi’s are great performers on urban and country roads, as well as the highways too. Plus, what’s not to like about all-wheel dr


After all, Lucid needs to separate its electric four-door hypercar from its gasoline-powered competition, not to mention its EV rivals from Tesla and Porsche, if the company expects to achieve sales success. So how does Derek Jenkins believe Lucid's sedan can redefine a market segment so heavily dominated by established automotive conglomerates? Well, in short, by undertaking a ground-up reenvisioning of space, form, and purp

As a more entry-level car, not too dissimilar to the Jaguar XE, the Giulia is one of the best luxury machines you can go and get today.

Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen.
