From that one run looks like around 57 seconds. Around the same as a Pagani Huayra

Legit hypercar!

Wow I’m kind of impressed. It’s a 5000 lb sedan…

So who was driving it, eventually? BTW, whoever it was did not wear a Lucid branded helmet, as can be seen in the "video from the rear passenger".

Wow 50.79 is faster than a McClaren P1

Then there's crappy journalism like this:

Lucid Air Dream Edition wins Fastest Production Car at Goodwood

This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed Hill Climb has ended, and with it, Lucid highlighted the power of electric vehicles.

Dream edition? Way to do any minor amount of research...

If my “last century” elementary school maths is correct … this means they averaged around 86 mph !!

Average !!!

And it was on stock tires, not racing tires!

Probably developed a bulge after the run

I don’t think the Huayra has to worry about software bugs, cuz it’s all steel, knobs and dials, I kept saying Hey Alexa and it didn’t do anything, piece of crap… the one I sat in at Sothebys’s a few years back.

Yeah the Lucid service van followed behind him.

 

[hydbob]

Here's another video with Shmee and he gets an interview with The Stig who talks about the Air's performance.

Official highlight video from Lucid Motors is out

I haven't been able to find out what other "Production" cars were entered??
