We infiltrate hot rodding’s inner sanctum with the Lucid Air Sapphire at Drag Week 2025. Amid 400+ hardcore racers, the 1,234-hp EV faced skepticism, side-eye, and plenty of smack talk—but also ran 9-second passes while towing the line between ridicule and respect. From Maryland to Pennsylvania drag strips, the Sapphire proved its endurance over 660 miles of racing and road, sparking debate and surprising admiration. Could an electric sedan hold its own against six-second monsters? Watch as the Sapphire battles tradition, earns nods from Freiburger and Lohnes, and challenges everything Drag Week stands for.
