I took my 2023 Lucid Air Pure AWD to a race track and here are my in depth comments

I've had both RWD Pures and AGTs as loaners (haven't yet driven a Touring, funnily enough). To me, the AWD Pure feels closer to the AGT (819 hp) than to the RWD Pure (430 hp) in terms of acceleration, velocity capabilities and overall dynamics. The AWD Pure certainly doesn't have the top end (or the heft) of the AGT, but it feels a *lot* faster than its "only" 50 hp increase over the RWD Pure would suggest.

I have never driven a RWD Pure, but I have had a couple AGT loaners over the last two years. Without me pushing it, I would never have guessed that there even was a horsepower difference, but considering how motors work vs. engines, I suppose that makes sense. I'm sure a lead foot or a launch would readily illustrate the difference.
