Just a little food for thought, look at these~
www.motortrend.com
MPH Pininfarina Battista (2019 launch manufacturer claims they *may* have improved)~
0-60= 1.9 seconds.
0-100= 4.3 seconds.
1/4 mile= 9.1 seconds.
0-186= 11.8 seconds.
Top speed= 218MPH electronically limited.
These figures look incredibly impressive but SIMILAR to Lucid Air Sapphire!
Except~
Hp= 1,874hp.
Torque= 1,696lb-ft or 2299NM.
Weight= 4500lbs or 2041KG
I've also benchmarked the above times against Car and Driver Magazine test of the 2022 Bugatti Chiron Supersport available on their website. Times are slightly slower but then electric drivetrain hypercars will be faster!

So taking this into account the power to weight ratios and claimed manufacturer figures and verified independently tested figures getting the Lucid Air Sapphire to do those metrics the manufacturer is claiming (which I believe by the way, they've already proven the 1/4 at 9.245 seconds!) is going to require very serious horsepower and torque capabilities!
1200hp+ could mean literally anything! It'd be good to know what the triple motor pre production prototype cars were pushing out! The boss did tell Motortrend *1800hp!*. I think the final number will be 1MW minimum for hp.
Anyway regardless she's chasing down production hypercars that cost upwards of FIVE million dollars!
A fully equipped and featured and spaced 4 door five seater that's also good on racetracks? Steal of the century trust me I've followed performance cars for over 30 years!
I'll use this thread for updates and technical specifications and reviews and videos etc! My Space if you like LOL!
And finally 0-200MPH calculations show <15 seconds for the Lucid Air Sapphire!

Tested: 2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Makes the Insane Seem Sane
This version of the Chiron will be the last, a 1578-hp parting shot before electric motors join in on the fun.
