New Variant coming....

[NoseyReporter]

People will compare to the Plaid though. Plaid seems like a bargain compared to this!

Tough because they created a floor with the dream air p, but I'm sure people will buy it. Slap limited edition on it and that pretty much does all the work.

Hell maybe you even partner with a watch company, and bundle a bespoke timepiece with each car sold.

These figures are achievable with no extra-cost equipment upgrades or protracted preconditioning routines.

I'm guessing you highlighted that part as a shot at Plaid. But, at $250K, how much more could they possibly sell for the Sapphire?

Sucks having your radio not work at the $140k price tag. Will suck alot more at $250k. I hope they figure out the software better by the time the Sapphire comes out.

Haven't you seen higher trim McLarens, Ferraris, Lambos, etc? You pay to have less.

But joking aside, they will get there.

Other than the color, it was slightly a let down. I’ll be keeping my $$ and enjoying my GT

For a car that can reach speeds like this with great handling…tons more. Let’s be honest, the Plaid is not safe with its sub-par handling and brakes.

I totally agree but at $250k, a Ferrari will hold its value a lot better. This is for the rich and exclusive people. I will buy one if I hit the lotto!

I think they put the right package together.
It wasn't clear to me if the Sapphire has CF brakes.
The more sporty interior with alcantara is nice, it looks like the front and rear seats are the same color, praise be.
The improvements don't do enough for me to want to wait longer for my car, pay another $70K over the GT-P and give up the tax credit.

Blue stealth trimotor with 20" wheels????

0-60 1.9, 0-100 3.9

Yeah, but how about Sapphire’s terrific range?

 

[Drendino]

Personally, I’m happy that they are introducing higher end variants, which further the cause of being a high end car company.

If I were a DE or Performance owner, I don’t think I would be too happy to lose top tier status so quickly. I am happy that it is priced high enough where I’m not second guessing my GT purchase. It did cause me to spend all morning driving in sprint mode. Yeah, I’m good with my GT.

I actually care less about the radio with the higher performance variant.

I wouldn’t be surprised. He is like techno-Trump. “Biggest!” “Quickest!” “Winningest!” “Fastest!” “Bestest!” tweet tweet tweet…..

Buying my lotto tickets in a couple of hours. We are in the same boat I guess. Lol.

As evident by Kyle Conners Plaid that lost control and took out a sign wrecked the wheels.

At these prices does the tax credit matter?

I tend to believe most successful folks consider all info
I happen to like taking govt granted benefits like mortgage interest deduction, 401(k), IRA, rental real estate depreciation, so yes the credit matters

I read elsewhere that the Sapphire has CF brakes

I read elsewhere that the Sapphire has CF brakes

From the Lucid Motors website:

"Carbon-ceramic brakes provide exceptional stopping power and contribute to the vehicle’s braking endurance during high-performance driving."

 

[Coltonw011]

One thing that I find funny that isn’t being noted. They switched to Michelin tires, away from the troublesome pirellis
