Can an EV Survive Drag Week? Lucid Air Sapphire vs 400 Race Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf4Fi_utR5s

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.

From draining old fuel and diagnosing electrical gremlins to refreshing the brakes and fuel system, we work to transform this long-parked T-Bird and get it back on the road.
