The most outrageous electric vehicle produced by EV manufacturer Lucid

the Lucid Air Performance Dream Edition. With 1,111 horsepower, it will be

Weisblat's buddy Sanjay is the source of the Lucid Air, while John Hennessey personally

To maintain parity between the two automobiles, they were both almost completely charged.

And now, let's get racing. As said, the Lucid Air features two electric motors producing 1,111
