Didn't turn out how I expected...

[MJBO]

Totally expected the Lucid to win that, continues to show how incredible the G8x xDrive and S58 are!

[M4 member]

What blue is that? Absolutely stunning. Reminds me of Bay Blue on the F90

[NKGK20]

That xdrive isn’t even that fast compared to some of the xdrives in the states, including mine.. lol. But yes s58 is a completely different animal

[abnatelee]

What surprised me was the top end power from Lucid

[sittingmongoose]

They didn’t enable launch mode on the lucid…these guys are a joke.

[kgelfen360]

I want to see stock Xdrive with CS flash on it and how that performes

[ErikJ1]

These guys are unwatchable..tuned vs oem? Dumb

[HotRodM4]

Entertaining as always.

Lol yeah ok. You’re clueless. Most people here would consider a stock m3 vs stock lucid air in a drag race far less watchable. Tuning matters less than a competitive matchup.

Not necessarily; A stock M3 would get blown away, making this matchup much more entertaining. It's interesting to see how much money it would take to equal performance of these 1000 horsepower electric cars.

Yeah kinda lame. That is how the Lucid achieves it's 0-60 times.

Doesn't surprise me though. This is the idiotic channel that puts transmissions in auto and lets them auto kick-down in the roll races.

Except it’s not interesting because the didn’t use launch mode on the Lucid. Which means it wasn’t at all close to what it should be like.

Another video from CarWow team which provides outstanding entertainment value. M3 it is: whether tuned, wrapped, with half a tank of gas, or a new battery as a concession to Lucid.

And then put them in manual mode with same gear same speed to ensure they’re at different power curve levels

I mostly agree with this however, I still thought it was entertaining. They put together other videos where each vehicle was used to it's maximum capability.

Switching gears, I think CarWow needs to start incorporating road course testing since straight line speed only tells a part of the story and is only so interesting. It would probably require skills that they don't have, meaning it will most likely never happen.

Agreed; the comfort setting roll race is pointless in performance testing.

[DS_BMW]

Should have used the Plaid.

Some basic instructions might’ve gone a long way for the driver of the Lucid Air

Yeah but the Plaid is much faster unless your talking sapphire.

It was clear something was off with the Lucid or its launch. Still that G80 looked sex and put in work
