Damn, if I had the $$$ to burn I'd reserve a Sapphire immediately after watching that run. My friend did the AMG academy at Laguna Seca in a AMG GT and also an AMG SL65, and I watched all his laps and ride-alongs with a pro driver, and it's so damn cool to see what this Sapphire can do in comparison. In the hands of a pro driver it looked like it was a struggle to not crash the AMG at all times, whereas Collins rightly points out how easy the Sapphire makes it to control the torque. The highlights are on lap 2, that first corner after the pit exit is soooo hard to get right (I've only driven it on various video games and simulators) and the Sapphire just glazes over that corner like it's nothing, and then reaches the corkscrew at 108mph! I disagree with the reviewer though, I honestly can't envision Tesla coming up with a way to one-up the Sapphire on a real track based on how good this prototype looked.
GT-P made it to the corkscrew in record time for a production car (38.1 seconds?), but I don't think any full lap times comparing all vehicles were published for some reason? Too lazy to look it up right now.
Good bot?
Oh I was kidding… the Sapphire with TM and I thought the car was talking. Thanks for running the numbers!
LOL! The ™ stands for TRIPLE MOTORS! I've a sense of humour too! As well as being a very deep thinker!
But Thank You! I'll see about some performance metrics tomorrow. I've picked up some skills over my years!
And as for talking cars well, I'm old enough to remember Knight Rider! And although I may not be American, I've a deep affinity for the United States of America!
Agreed. If I had the $$$ I would be making that reservation.
During my test drive of the GT and we were about to hit Sprint mode all could think about was Knight Rider. On the Sapphire I think it would feel like a suped up Turbo Boost!LOL! The ™ stands for TRIPLE MOTORS! I've a sense of humour too! As well as being a very deep thinker!

Knight Rider is the first song on my Lucid playlist I posted in the music thread haha.
That would be typical Elon. Talk a lot, but avoid any legitimate arenas of comparison. That's the game of market manipulation that got him in trouble with the SEC.
