Remember, top speed has NOTHING to do with weight; weight only affects acceleration. Top speed takes longer to get to with added weight, but ultimate top speed is all to do with power vs. aerodynamics.

@sebastiannolte1201

7 жыл бұрын

Actually that is not exactly right :-) I agree with you, that finally it is air drag that limits the top speed of a car, because it raise with the speed, even squared. But besides the air drag there is another force that the car has to fight against when it runs with a certain speed: Rolling resistance. And that is also a bit affected by the weight of the car. But it is independet from the speed, and compared to the air drag at a speed of 235mph it is low, but it is still there.

@The80shilling

7 жыл бұрын

Agreed that rolling resistance is a factor with added weight, but as pointed out, a tiny fraction of aerodynamic resistance and remember that tyres grow in size due to rotational forces, and lift at speed will counteract most of the rolling resistance. But you are correct and it MIGHT make a difference. I was trying to keep it simple.

Larry Navarro Weight affects acceleration, not top speed. The car is stripped down so it takes less time and therefore less road area to reach its top speed, which is affected by aerodynamics. This is why electric trains like the TGV can reach speeds beyond 300mph despite being so heavy. It just takes them a longer time to get there.

@larrynavarro4327

What? Weight affects acceleration but not top speed??? You're telling me that If I connect a Lamborghini engine to a semi, ignoring power loss, aerodynamics and wheel differences, you think that they will both hit the same top speed? Electric trains can reach speeds beyond 300mph because they are on rails, not the road. Less surface friction and contact mean that you can essentially glide.

لما يفضي مدري اشحن جوالي ولة السياره

Based on a rough back of the napkin calculation given my car's coefficient of drag and top speed versus the 1300 likely horsepower from the Lucid the Lucid should be hitting at least 250. Gearing limited? Edit: I didn't see that this video was 6 years old. Maybe this is not the sapphire and this is the old 1100 horsepower edition so maybe this seems about right

why i cant reach this speed?

378 km/h.... Not too bad!

now put all the luxury stuff back - seats, panel, sound deadening, wheels, stock tires, remove cage etc..... let's see if it still can reach 235m/h

Let me get this straight, interior space larger than a Mercedes Benz S class and a BMW 7 series, upgraded with the latest technology to head towards autonomous driving, active safety features and most importantly FUCKING 378 kph! top speed; which again if you carefully check their blog, Lucid Air plans to continuously ramp up with each track test. So we're already looking at a top speed reaching over 400 kph. All this done using pure electric energy and to strike the final blow, it's a freakin four door luxury family sedan!! I just pity the fool who spends $1.2 million on a Buggati, talking about how fast and loud the car is. That's it, that's the diesel heads only argument against electric vehicles.

I get the need to try to prove EVs are not toys. But is it necessary to focus on acceleration and top speed as if they were the thing? I think Tesla has already proven that end well enough. And moved on since. And FF. Sure you can probably make it go a little bit faster but so what? There is always some other car that is faster and snappier. This amounts to nothing but posing.

This is dumb. The car is obviously a prototype and doesn't even have a full interior. Who knows, the motors may not even be the same ones that go into production. I'll believe the 235mph top speed when I see it in a production LUCID. Until then, the car hasn't hit 235.
