The World's Quickest Cars: Lucid Air Sapphire v Bugatti Chiron v Tesla Plaid - Cammisa's Drag Race
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Jason Cammisa got the exclusive first test, strapped on his equipment, and broke the record: the Lucid Air Sapphire is the world's quickest-accelerating production car.
With a staggering quarter-mile performance of 9.1 seconds at 156 mph, this 1200+ horsepower 3-motor Air beat out the reigning champion, the triple-motor, 1020-hp Tesla Model S Plaid, which runs the 1/4-mile in 9.3 seconds at 152 mph.
The cars are "tied" at 2.1 seconds 0-60, though some trivia: the Lucid Air Sapphire gets to 60 mph 0.03 seconds before the Tesla Model S Plaid.
We weren't satisfied with just that race, so we also brought along the fastest-accelerating gas-powered production car, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. This is the 1479-hp (1500-PS) Chiron with shortened gear ratios, grippy Michelin Cup 2R tires, a fixed rear wing, and weight-reduction measures.
Even despite these hyper-aggressive Michelins' distaste for cold tarmac, the Chiron ripped off a 2.3-second, four-wheel-burnout launch from 0-to-60 mph, and then continued on to a 9.3-second, 156-mph quarter-mile performance. That is a tenth quicker to 60 mph than the "regular" Chiron has managed, and a tenth quicker through the quarter, too. That's an internal-combustion production-car 1/4-mile record for the Chiron Pur Sport - and we suspect that, in warmer conditions, this Pur Sport would be even quicker!
That's not the case with the 210-hp Ducati Panigale V4 SP2, one of the quickest superbikes in the world. It had no traction issues as MotoAmerica Supersport champion rider Josh Herrin cracked the throttle wide open, dumped the dry clutch, and ripped off a stupefying 9.3-second, 157-mph run through the quarter-mile.
This beat our last outing with the same Panigale, when it handily dusted a 2023 C8 Corvette Z06. This time, Ducati softened the suspension and dropped the fork; Josh sacrificed the clutch and kept the wheelie at bay. It's safe to say this is the limit for the SP2 - except that Ducati offers a factory Akrapovic exhaust and tune that boost horsepower. We'd love to come back and try that again!
But for the moment, it's clear: among production cars with four wheels, the Lucid Air Sapphire is now the acceleration king, with the Chiron Pur Sport in second place. In one video, Tesla went from first to third.
May the fight continue.

Dude, the production quality of the video is amazing. The stop-motion to pronounce the Lucid as the winner in the first race is INSANE. Props to the editor(s)!
That made the Vid....just epic editing.
How the hell did they do that??
Editors need a huge round of applause! This is gold standard ❤️
@@hermanenzo They defo positioned the cars again and are driving as slow as they can hehe, naughty naughty effect but looks amazing
That is my favorite part of this series as a whole, it's such a unique and striking way to present a drag race that they manage to turn 20 seconds of drag racing in to 10 minutes of content while always keeping things moving forward.
I can’t wrap my head around how the edit pauses mid-race so flawlessly beyond literal time travel control!
cruise control at 1mph ? ;D
5:14 you can see from here that the buggatis’s driver is shifting his head around which was totally not in slow-motion. So i guess they are just creeping up slowly with some added video effects of the dust.
its called computer software and CGI ...
Like now Nasa and SpaceX fool everyone
@@abdulalimj i don't care how they did it it looks absolutely sick
@@rafclaassens9725 same here.
the chiron chasing them down is downright scary goddamn
The Chiron Pur Sport is like a beast who is chasing his food.
Just wait a little while because Elon is cooking. In a short while a new beast will emerge and it will make the Pur Sport its fur coat.
😴 gemera will be faster@@jovanleon7
@@jovanleon7 Elon ain’t cooking, the engineer do. And knowing the manchild he is, he’ll probably mess it up like the cyber truck
@@RuneVolpe Nobody's cooking nothing at Tesla without Elon's permission AND involvement. The next Roadster will use SpaceX tech and guess who owns that company? And how the hell is the Cybertruck a mess up? Go on.
I work at a Lucid Motors factory here in Arizona and its so unreal watching and building these cars. When theyre driving by to go to the testing area, they sound like little space ships its SO cool! Absolute love seeing Lucid cars getting the love they deserve! Things are absolutely insane
@@thesure1 so?
Great. Now if I can make back all the money I lost in their stock I'll be happy
@@thesure1if I build a factory for a million dollars and produce 100k pencils in first quarter and sell one for dollar each, did I just loose $9 per pencil? If so, please don't invest in anything.
@@thesure1 facts are still facts. They made an investment in factories that was factored in as loss. Click bait head line got you. Also why would I care about Lucid stock price going down? Does that somehow corrects your alternative fact?
Love the hate on Lucid - The stock price is down!!! - Yeah starting a new car company (and electric) is tough. Tesla had a hard time for years. Petrol and Tesla fanboys are something else.
You know what's cooler than the Lucid Air Sapphire? The editing on this video. Absolutely knocked it out of the park!
You’re definitely not an ad comment
@@josephp2109 Not sure what you mean. Like advertising for myself? Or I’m a bot?
I simply thought the video was incredibly well made and wanted to comment about it.
I was sad the video ended. I'm like, That's it?? It felt like a movie!!
This is not only a drag race comparison, but also an insane level of vfx and videography.
Enjoyed each second of it.
Yes it was wild like Lucid dreaming 😅
If title of this video wasn't so misleading... I would give them 10 / 10. However.... it takes one google search to find out that these cars are nowhere near the fastest cars in 2023. Hint...Koenigsegg Jesko, Rimac, McMurtry Spéirling etc.
Superb video production. Hats off to Lucid Motor's team. But for $250k the Plaid is a no-brainer winner to me. The Chiron is $4M is just for status but far from being a winner ($/hp) and on the 1/4 mile race.
OMG, does anyone else want to see Lucid Team or even Tesla come out with their own model with Hypercar looks?
BTW jaw-dropping video editing!
LMAO that M5 was the old 400HP one, not even the 500HP one that came out 13 years ago. It's still faster but at least put one of the newer ones in there then see if it can catch it or not.
Wow.... The most immersive drag race ever filmed anywhere, period... Now that's some top of the line Hollywood production quality right there, no cap.
Even the most Hollywood movies aren't as good as this video. Its INSANE!
3:46 The way the Chiron starts recovering ground to the Plaid is absolutely *WILD*
The Chiron Pur Sport is a beast.
Not so much considering that the Chiron is a car designed for racing and the Tesla designed for taking a family on a trip.
Roadster will kick butt.
@@matteoZattera - Chiron is designed for racing? Go in the corner and put your dunce cap on.
I am struggling to get my head round how insane the production value of this video is. It’s perfect. You guys have taken drag race journalism to new heights.
Don’t know if I’m more shocked by the fact that a Tesla almost beat the Bugatti or the production value 😂
@@iampokeyyYT it did beat it they just show the numbers of another run look at the difference where the Bugatti is and lucid is in different camera angles it’s an ad remember
I can see that the LUCID is king but both the LUCID and the TESLA are not very sexy looking design-wise. For me, I would still buy the 10.5-second quarter-mile Corvette Z06. This is a car that turns heads with its very striking design. The LUCID, the TESLA, and the Z06 are all about the same price at a little over $100,000.
I forgot to mention that you could also install a twin turbo on the corvette for about $20,000 and that would give you over 1,000 horsepower.
Now bring out the fastest production bike, H2R with extended swingarm pack ~ 8 sec 1/4 mile.
How Chiron starts to burnout with the four wheels at the start is looks insane.
Too much power to handle it will spin or bog even on prepped surface
Gear ratios is also too short for this 1500 HP car
Dude the way the body was flexing was jaw-dropping. I don't care if something else is quicker, that car is all things legendary.
@@jonjonzz42 I'm more disappointed they did not do Ducati Vs Chiron Pur Sport because that was the best race with these vehicles
We might never see them again 🤦 it's done mate
@@jonjonzz42 yeah the Chirons are crazy 😂 Pur Sport the most hardcore
Chiron Supersport the fastest
Original Chiron mixed with both
For some reason? i read this comment in german accent "is looks insane"😅
These races be having me on the edge of my seat!!! Robert Sanders is INCREDIBLE with the edits and sound choice!!! Just wow!!
Now do it again with the Rimac Nevera and the Koenigsegg Gemera
Doesn’t matter how many races I watch from you guys, that effect where you get out of the car at the finish line while the cars are still moving is one of the coolest editing techniques in existence!
This video doesn’t need to be ten minutes. The electric cars win. They have no power band. They have instant power and torque.
@@chivacetana but there’s nothing like hearing that engine growls behind your ears
@@chivacetana not really, the plaid lost to the Chiron
@@ShahrokhYoussefi yes because it wasn’t engineered as well as the sapphire. but the potential of the electric motor is much higher than a combustion engine
It's not editing, I hate to spoil the illusion ut you'll realize it sooner or later
Graphics in this video are top notch. Benchmark setter for the reviewers and an amazing video for the viewers
after rewatching it, they just reshot the drivers slowlyy driving the vehicle and with Jason actually stepping out of the car. adding some smoke and blur effects to make it seem super slowmo. cuz u can notice from the actual race the drivers wore helmets.
It's actually god awful, like they try to cater to highschoolers.
@@jlomein4634 are you sure you rewatched? I just rewatched and they didnt have helmets on at the starting line
these "effects" are exhausting to watch. I want to see the races and not endless talking a useless graphic effects.
@@ns4529 you are slow
Finally, a drag race channel which has enough cameras and a drone camera. Really nice records guys, and sapphire's record is also spectacular!
this is not only a Drag race channel
I watch an enormous amount of automotive RUclips content but strangely don’t seem to have come across this channel before. Not only was the video content great, but the post-production FX are mind-boggling. This is Hollywood level. Wow.
The editors need a round of applause for the quality of this video. Very entertaining!
It stinks.
No, they need arrested for fraud...Race was rigged. Check the front end of the Tesla at 5:28. It goes down. The Model S Driver let off accelerator. And they LIED! THE LUCID IS AN ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE, not a production car. Lucid won't start production on the Saphire until next year sometime. You can't even order one yet (try it...I did)! Let's make this fair, and compare to the current Tesla prototype, the Plaid +. Or even a Telsa Roadster, which is quicker than the S, and has a top speed of 250 mph.
@@mand5422 I don't know why you're arguing with me about this. My fascination was with the editing of the video itself. I don't care what you think, they did a wonderful job.
lol as soon as he got out the lucid i came str8 here to say the same thing cool asl fr🔥
@@markrinehart He's a Rimac fanboy
Holy crap I’ve never seen such advanced editing. Y’all better be paying them well
Based on a lot of people being self employed and what YT pays out these days, I hope so too.
I've come back and watched this video a few times since it aired and the whole thing just puts a smile on my face. Love the graphics and camera work
This quality of this video is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Very well done to the editors, they've done an phenomenal job! :)
I've never seen such a high quality video like this one ever in my life, this is on a completely different level, editors deserve a raise
the fastest car is Aspark Owl
9:10 professional idiot hahahahhaha
You guys must never watched Bugatti company vehicles go to their page they have the best videos eyes can ever meet
The quality of this channel is so high it's crazy! Keep up the good work!
Man, they blow minds
@modest mouse colored person no comparison....just loving both, but the edits and stuff here without any long talks is very interesting
I like the Guy left MT and nailed it! My kinda Hero
how did they film that that is next level editing
Agreed
I’m a P100X owner and that Lucid is absolutely mind blowing. Neck-snapping acceleration with 4-doors and luxury comfort? Wow.
And it feels like the era of EVs has just started. With those 4-door sedans it seems like they aren't seriously even trying to beat ICE supercars. Bugatti is not a familycar which you take to supermarket. Lucid and Tesla are. They are "normal" cars with insane torque. Because why not?
Luxury comfort? The Model S may have good acceleration but its far from luxurious or comfortable for the price.
@yissibiiyte I beg to differ. I picked up a Plaid for 68 K a couple months ago and its very comfortable to drive. Best sound system i've had in any car, the I Pad is extremely quick. Alot of nice tech and features. Maybe not worth 130K but definitely alot of car for 68K
@@tornatic1983 for 130k it is competing with things like the S-class, 7-series and CT5V. The Tesla is nowhere near that competition in any aspect except 0-60. For 68k however it makes a lot more sense.
@@yissibiiyte That really depends on what you're looking for. Plaid is not just faster than those cars you mentioned, they are WAY faster. Besides fit and finish and a couple features like massage seats, ambient lighting, and fragrance its not that much difference. I've driving a newer S Class and yeah they are nice but they are not for everybody. I've owned a Mercedes E350 myself. The Plaid is comfortable, has great tech and features. Plus you don't have to worry about much besides tires and brakes. A friend of mine who also owns a Plaid had a F90 M5 Competition before the Tesla and he says the Plaid is the best daily driver he's ever owned and it handles just as well as the M5. Different strokes for different folks.
I just LOVE your videos! Always lots of detailed information and very entertaining!
can we appreciate how mental this video production is, no matter what the energy kept going.
Totally agree!
3:54 that's some top editing right there, props to the team. Awesome content.
Crazy good, first my brain couldn´t get up to it :)
Yeah it was cool and all but big woop
Reminds me of that car crash ad.
Yeah. Just like Constantine that Stop the Matter
@@jonas_4901🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 The secular West’s double standards are glaringly evident from how they deal with “irrationality”. When this so-called irrationality is linked with religion it’s a problem. However, when it comes to things like “gender fluidity” it’s completely fine. Another example that can be mentioned is how the “clairvoyant” Edgar Cayce was extremely popular during the early 20th century.
And it’s the same story when it comes to aliens 👽. The secular West, unable to fight its innate tendency to believe in the ghayb, proposes the likely existence of a non-human species that could communicate with our world - the same way Muslims believe in the jinn
Of course, all of this is done in the name of their own religion: science. They even have their own priests in the form of astrobiologists, etc.
This belief of theirs is of the same nature as ours. Even if they try and add some pseudo-empiricist spice: there may be tangible elements pointing towards the existence of aliens 👽 They fail to grasp how we, too, say there are “tangible elements” regarding the influences of the jinn within our world.*
The production quality is amazing! Nice job guys!
Awesome, a lucid vs rimac race is needed
The four-wheel burnout of the Chiron, the way the Lucid just disappears, the way the Chrion regains everything it lost to the Tesla by the line, and that motorcycle rider -- all of it is just INSANE. Low 9''s for everyone on a dusty racetrack... these things are all stupid stupid fast. I'm glad you could capture the drama for this incredible video!

If they are going to do forced induction, they need to bring out Kawasaki H2 or H2-R. I would love to see Kawasaki tune it, just because...

The fact that both EVs had such a distance gain in the beginning and the chiron it stil caught up is insane amount of acceleration power.

Nothing insane here. The engine of the Chiron produces 450hp more than the Tesla and around 300 more than the Lucid.

Can’t even imagine how scary it must be to feel the front wheel bouncing off the ground while going 200mph
Honestly, you get used to it. The bikes are very stable
Anything above 150mph is surprisingly stable on a sports bike. It’s full throttle from 0-100 that’s a bit scary, but you get used it.

I've never been so focused on a drag race like I was watching that bike race against the Lucid. Thanks to everyone working at hagerty this is pure car content gold
100% true
They neglect mentioning that all you have to do is stretch the swingarm to on that Ducati to keep the front wheel down, and it’ll embarrass the Lucid without adding *any* power. 🤣
Bikes have a high center of gravity, so their acceleration is limited by flipping over, far before they’re limited by traction. A stock-motor, modern liter bike,
bone stock, can dip deep into the 8’s if you lengthen the wheel base. (Don’t take my word for it - you can witness this on RUclips, all day long.)
The video alludes to this by pointing out the front wheel was hovering all the way down the straight. At that point, the electronics kick in to dial back the power to prevent it from flipping over. Longer wheelbase, and it can accelerate harder before the front wheel lifts.
The wheelbase on the bike is set to optimize for a balance of handling and acceleration road course. Adjust it for a drag race, and even these cars can’t compete.
@@mitchcoleman mind you that this ducati ISN'T stock
@@RaduGiurgiu 👍👍👍
@@mitchcoleman 555 percent agree with that.
That bike launch was flawless. I can't see how a bike can do a faster quarter mile than that regardless how much power you give it
With an aftermarket extended swingarm he probably could have knocked 2/10ths off and won. But this was a stock for stock race.
I doubt the swing arm would’ve done much.
@@TheNuclearBolton it does a lot
Aftermarket swing arm and a sticker rear tire could put the bike in the 8’s. And that would still be on a 100% stock engine and ECU.
@@TheNuclearBolton - You clearly don’t know much about bikes. An extended swing arm makes a HUGE difference. It’s all about leverage.
Outstanding video editing and production. That coming out of the car to announce the winner was extremely breathtaking and fantastic.
Just for this video, this channel deserves a billion subscribers and more than a million likes. Mind boggling presentation backed by amazing editing.
Forget 0-60, the speed at which the chiron catches up with the Plaid is unbelievable..... what a masterpiece 😍 👏
Unbelievable for 4 million dollars….
The Chiron had to "catch up" to a car costing far less and still lost to the other EV. That's hard to swallow when you pay 4 million. It's a sweet car, but it's being crushed by family sedans. A true EV sports car, when they come, will end ICE in every respect.
@@robertbrody4032 To be fair, IC engines still do better in terms of top speed, there are plenty of high horsepower electric hypercars that are slower than ICE powered Bugattis and Koenigseggs. That being said, EV technology has allowed us to experience hypercar performance for a fraction of the price, and in practical and comfortable sedans, and that’s just incredible.
@@robertbrody4032 Never been really a fan of any Buggatis. But really its made for top speed and not 1/4 mile. Had it been a 40 mph rolling start, the ev wouldnt stand a chance. Buggati is like the Concorde. Both are massively over budget, but both will be extinct eventually but the concorde marked history, these evs are like the 787 or a350(better in almost every metric) but they are not concorde.
One more admission. I actually dont find the veyron beautiful at all but the chiron or "la voiture noire" is closest thing thats looks like, drive like and sounds like a batmobile...
@@JAM_2024 The buggati is like concorde. Price is irrelevant. Its a loveletter to the enthusiasts of motorsports and you cant put a price on that.
I was most impressed by how violently the Chiron reeled in the Plaid in the final stretch - yet all four were going at roughly the same ridiculous trap speed at the finish line.
Plaid might started braking 😂 but Chiron Pur Sport is much faster
But really disappointed because they didn't do Ducati Vs Chiron
It was best race both running same times Ducati trapped higher
I have driven one. Like American muscle cars, really fast in a straight line.. absolutely crap when a corner comes up...
Absolutely what I was going to say. That’s my favorite part of this video. How hard it came up on the Tesla. They should do a longer race once. Wonder what distance the Bugatti would pass the lucid
Tesla cost less?
You were impressed by a car 15x times the price pulling on it? You must be easily entertained lol. If the Bugatti hadn’t won the Bugatti teams should’ve been ashamed. That thing is so expensive and overengineered it should be beating absolutely anything it comes across
Great video bro, love the special effects.
Wow. Well done video. Congrats to Lucid. They really came to play.
Just wanna say that the production value here is flipping fantastic, I hope to see more videos like this! And the writing was captivating the whole way through. Great video!!
The production was too much
1 car 1 bike and 2 electric toys. Video was great, but why the dude had to act like a 5 years old, just why ?
Superb video production. Hats off to Lucid Motor's team. But for $250k the Plaid is a no-brainer winner to me. The Chiron is $4M is just for status but far from being a winner ($/hp) and on the 1/4 mile race.
OMG, does anyone else want to see Lucid Team or even Tesla come out with their own model with Hypercar looks?
BTW jaw-dropping video editing!
Most impressive thing was the 9.3 of the Panigale. With the cars you just use launch control and dont have to do anything. Running that time on a production motorcycle takes a hell of a lot of skill and is completely nuts.
Yeah well it's a modified bike in truth on a slight downhill straight. Chiron 9.31 had too much wheelspin, and probably would have suited a flatter surface as its torque was its strength against the bike.
@@1010thechamp modified lol it’s stock
Agreed
The bike, and it’s time is reflective (I’d argue) of the awesomeness of bikes. It’s still a skill to be quick on a bike. I have ridden bikes for years, and no way I’m getting anywhere near that time on the same bike. But the cars…release brake and go.
@@philipjames3526 Yes yes calm down, it was 'setup' slightly different then... but the trap speed suggests the slightly down slope of this straight helped the bike tbh. 9.3sec is far faster other road ss bikes which would do well to make it into the high 9s on a non dragstrip and with a decent rider on board.
This is the first thing ive seen that compares to top gear in madness and production. The editor and DP of this needs a raise. Serisouly blown away by the production of this, could watch it 100 times
Dude, the production quality is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The lucid won the race but the Ducati won my vote. The fact that he could launch that bike that hard is amazing! You said it, he pushed that bike as hard as it could be pushed. I'm surprised it was that close. I tip my hat to the rider and Ducati.
Not taking anything away from the rider (that would be beyond ignorant) but since the Duc (and every other 200Hp sport bike I know of) has both Traction and Wheelie control, you'd be surprised how easy it is to launch hard like he did. Yes it does take a good amount of experience and practice but you don't need to be a top tier pro to go this quick and fast.
And I know it needed to be a production bike for apples to apples comparison but if the Duc was extended just two to four inches, he would have easily beat the Sapphire 👍
@@KCadbyRacing That's an interesting take. It's something to think about.
@@KCadbyRacing another interesting take is the Panigale V4 SP2 is not even the final form of the Panigale. You can even have either the V4R which, adding Akrapovic race exhaust system and Shell's racing oil, makes nearly 250bhp or the Superleggera V4 which is a V4R but lighter. Adding to the fact that US' motorcycle emission standard actually kills some bhp, I'd say that the Ducati can tie the Sapphire
@@justaname9544 I wonder given he was having trouble keeping the front down even at the end if more power would help much. Less weight might not either as depending where it's from the weight distribution might actually be worse for that particular use case with the rider being a bigger proportion and being high & far back. Of course a longer swing arm would be huge, and then maybe more power or less weight could help too :) damn nice bike.
The lucid is powered by a synchronous magnetic rotary 2 strokes engines!
y’all need to give these editors a raise or give them a job for a movie or something because that was amazing. i can only dream of being able to edit like that
It's the Old Top Gear camera crew
@@Drainslime if that’s true that makes sense
@@edixon5417 it was a lie. It's was filmed by Elon Musk
How do you know they are paying them low? I hate these comments. Why do you expect everyone who does work good is underpaid?
ok
The quality of the video is OMG, it's soooooo gooood, no words for this insane video.
No man the lucid jump start first race 🔥 love the editing next level
The editing and sound design on this was off the charts. These people need a raise, literally gave me goose bumps.
And how you made a simple drag race so interesting was sick!
Al the drag races presented here if ran back to back would last well under a minute. And they turned them into an exquisite 10 minutes and 10 seconds. I agree with you.
Bro it felt like a movie...
You were lied to. The race was rigged. Check the front end of the Tesla at 5:28. It goes down. The Model S Driver let off accelerator. And they LIED! THE LUCID IS AN ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE, not a production car. Lucid won't start production on the Saphire until next year sometime. You can't even order one yet (try it...I did)! Let's make this fair, and compare to the current Tesla prototype, the Plaid +. Or even a Telsa Roadster, which is quicker than the S, and has a top speed of 250 mph.
Wtf are you talking about.
5:28 shows Tesla dying, that's all.
Also Tesla Roadster? The phantom car? They are always faster than anything.
That M/F on that bike is ungodly!!!! I not sure if people truly understand how crazy it is to launch a stock height bike that hard! Pure amazing bra!🙏🏽
…with no crazy stretched swing arm!!!
Sounds like the clutch roasted about 3/4 of the entire strip. 1st gear is way too stinking tall to get that engine into the power early.
@lifted_above1216 Ducati said let the bike have it!🤷🏾♂️
Yep. As opposed to, foot on the brake and the accelerator then let go of brake in the cars.
Not really that hard if you ride a lot especially if not your bike and you don’t pay for clutch
Each second of this videos is fire
Man the quality of video is fantastic
The way that Sapphire moves literally looks UNREAL. Almost like the eye trickery of the slow mo scenes.
I wanna see a interview with the team who wrote Lucid’s traction control algorithm. That was brutal!
Were easier because they re controling electric devices directly, motors in each wheel, whereas bugatti had to control an engine and a transmission working separately
Best quality content I've ever seen on RUclips it's just insane 🙌
The production quality of the video is amazing! Nice job guys!
In the early 2000s Top Gear was THE car show. I hope hagerty appreciates that they are fast taking that place for the 2020s. The edits and presentation of this show is just getting next level. Hats off to Jason and team!
I agree. I would love for them to be picked up by Netflix, Amazon, etc. and make an EV "Top Gear".
Who cares.
@@sebastian.tristandefinitely not Netflix, definitely. Not. Netflix. Amazon would be better
wow, that Chiron catching up to the Tesla was insane
i'm team ICE but there's something weird in this video, around 5:29 5:30 you can see the Telsa's nose dive down like it hit a brick wall ! not saying they liftted off on purpose but it sure looks like it !
@@yugarten8523 yes it feels weird
@@yugarten8523 It's possible that it was just exiting "cheetah mode" as described at 5:06.
Yeah they did slow down tesla
@@amalxavier5102 maybe they did that run only for video clips
Wow brilliant edit on the finish line. Beautiful
Best production/editing on the internet! Wild!
The only thing wrong with this video is that it's too short. Every second of it was a masterpiece! I could watch this guy for hours and not get bored.
Hm there is two.
1. Lucid Sapphire fastest production car NOT - Croatian Rimac Nevera IS
2. PRronunciation - RimaC, Coatian C is C (its not like in disturbed English)

3. Hooonk!! Extra only for you. Show host, well, it could be better. Well somebody who is not liar.
@@tplaninic the host is enjoying himself a bit too much when scolding the motorcyclist. Creeped me out. He seems like he's been a bully at some point in his life
Im super impressed by Lucid's performance. Crazy to see how far it was ahead of the Pur Sport after launch.
but on the finish is a tiny difference especially after bad start
@Geo Gmz the problem is not enough for the 110k price difference
@@SDot-dp9xm the luxury experience is worth the cost
@@geogmz8277 You cant compare any electric car to a chiron in any way though, a chiron is made using the most expensive materials by hand and is super limited, If you just want to go fast you dont buy a chiron, also lets see any electric car go 270mph plus
@@redred2 Lol.... yeah not even remotely close. If the sapphire was priced like the dream edition....i think it would have faired better. They arent doing enough to make this a big deal. 110K for 2 10ths quicker and 4 mph...meh
No denying the performance is great....but the plaid is still the better value. Also the plaid doesnt price itself out of the market for high performance ice cars.... the biggest difference is for that price you get hypercar acceleration and super car speed. The plaid cost the same if not a little less than an m5 or E63 yet will smoke either in a race.
How many high performance sedans are in the 250k range? Like a couple.... at that price people are looking for bespoke supercars...IE why the roadster make sense at that price point and not a plaid. Not only that.... The plaid needs to make 1100 hp to run down the sapphire...could be an update away or even the new plaid plus option....
I never get tired of watching this video❤
Great cars, great visual effects! Thanks for the entertainment!
God I remember years ago, everyone HATED Jason when he started reviewing for Motor Trend and never understood why they did. Look at this production and his style/charisma that he brings! This dude and throttle house the 🐐's
I never understood why he got kicked out of MT. My guess is that Jonny Lieberman didn't like this new goofy guy with tons of charisma who stole the spot...
Now imagine him, throttle house and chris harris having their own car tv show... one can dream
Motortrend always sucked...
@@RtenorioFkicked out?! 🤣 I quit and ran out of that place like the building was on fire.
Idk something about him seems really condescending
The production on these drag videos is amazing and creative. Jason as host takes it to the next level. I don't know how long it takes to make these videos but we definitely need more.
i love it
I absolutely love this channel and the crazy videography and editing!!!
Although, I have been waiting to see the Lucid Saphire face off against a Dodge Demon 170…..
Damn! I don’t know why I stumbled upon this channel, so, so late, its my first time ever watching Hagerty although, I do watch a lot of car channels but man…, the production quality of this one is just on another level of craze, its mind bogglingly amazing to see people on RUclips with that much awesome production quality in their videos, hats off… to Hagerty, Great!!! job guys.
Seriously some of the best special effects I've seen in my life! Bravo mates! 👏 hell of a show
but ev,s cant go 250 miles per hour . bugatti can
Yes
@@user-qp8jk5dj2e The Tesla Roadster, might be able to
the POV from the Chiron was madness. the way it was chasing down 1000 HP EVs like they weren't moving
Exactly....all these Tesla fanbois in the comments 💩💩💩
@@angeleenasworld7194Tesla is their whole personality 😂
@@angeleenasworld7194 Lol, right.
I've seen faster EVs, but it's honestly crazy how these relatively cheap cars can beat a Bugatti in the quarter mile. They've only been here for a decade, and they are that fast. Legacy engines have had a century. Just a matter of time until we see a Bugatti beating car. Probably not going to be Tesla though because they aren't the same price. The Nevera has a top speed of 412kph slightly behind the Bugatti at 420.
Actually EVs have been with us for over a century..... Your really must watch more youtube :)
Wow, one of my favorite videos, currently the best I tell you that. Congrats to the team who made this wonderfull work.
3:56 THIS EDITING IS CRAZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! DAYUM!!! love it
This video is amazing! The whole slow motion stuff, you stepping out of the car while everything is paused etc was just so good! Insane cars and insane video 😃
I thought he was the flash ⚡️
The production quality of the video is jaw dropping. The stop motion was sweet and beautiful
That man Robert Sanders is different, how the hell they get him on here is the real question.
❤️❤️😊
Coolest video i have seen of car drag race good job!!
I follow lots of car channels but yours is different. You have the best video editing and also the charisma for the narrator. Good job
