The video above shows a drag-race between two ultra-luxurious cars.

Lucid Air

Dream Edition Performance and Sporty

Porsche Taycan

Turbo S.

The similarities between the two ends there.

Lucid

Air, a dual-motor car with 1,111 horsepower in the UK at a staggering price of £240,000 (£193,000), offers 1,111 horses from its dual motor setup.

Porsche

The car, which is priced at $184,000 in the United Kingdom (PS148,000), offers 761 horsepower from its dual-motor drivetrain.

After reading the specifications, you may think that the Lucid Air will win, as it has more power than the Taycan Turbo S, and only weighs 220 pounds (100 kg) more than this German-made EV.

We thought the same thing, but watching the video shows that even though it has less power, this Porsche Taycan Turbo S knows how to use it.

Lucid is still a car manufacturer, but it's not a fast one. In December 2022.
