The Lucid Air has 1111 hp that will enable it to hit 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and complete the quarter mile in a mind boggling 9.9 seconds. It also claims to have an incredible 520 miles of range and be capable of charging 300 miles in just 20 minutes. These are phenomenal range and charging figures. However, these fantastic specifications come at a hefty price. The cheapest model the Air Pure starts at $77,400 working up to an eye watering $169,000 for the Air Dream Edition.
