Lucid Gravity leaves Porsche and Lamborghini behind in the quarter mile

Lucid Gravity just changed the game

The Lucid Gravity is an electric SUV that surprised everyone by going faster than some of the most powerful gas cars ever made. In a recent quarter-mile test, it beat both the Lamborghini Urus Performante and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.

This big family car isn’t just roomy; it’s also blazing fast and smooth. The world now sees how electric cars like the Gravity are changing what’s possible in racing.

The fastest SUV ever tested

Lucid Gravity is the quickest SUV it has ever tested, which is a big deal for a young car company. In Car and Driver’s test of the Dream Edition, the SUV ran the quarter-mile in 10.6 seconds at 140 mph, making it the fastest SUV C&D has ever recorded.

That kind of performance usually comes from sleek sports cars, not big electric SUVs. Lucid’s Gravity just raised the bar for how fast a family car can be.

It’s not just fast—it’s smart

The Gravity isn’t only quick, it’s also built to move with smooth, steady power from the start to the finish. It went from 0 to 30 mph in only 1.4 seconds and reached 70 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

Even more surprisingly, it blew past 100 mph in less than six seconds, which is very rare for a three-row SUV. Lucid packed smart, high-performance technology into every inch of this vehicle.

Two motors bring the heat

What gives the Gravity its jaw-dropping speed is a set of two powerful electric motors working together as one. These motors deliver 1,070 horsepower and 909 pound-feet of torque, making them stronger than most sports cars on the road.

Even though it looks like a calm family car, it acts like a wild race car when the pedal hits the floor. The Lucid Gravity proves you can have strength and silence together.

Electric beats gas at the drag strip

The Gravity beat top gas-powered SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus Performante and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT in head-to-head tests. Both of those gas giants ran the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds, while the Gravity finished in just 10.6 seconds.

That’s a major difference in drag racing, where every fraction of a second counts. Lucid has shown that electric power isn’t just cleaner; it’s also much faster in a straight line.

A real match for the Corvette Z06

The Lucid Gravity didn’t just compete with SUVs; it nearly beat a top sports car, too. The Corvette Z06, known for its incredible speed, was only one-tenth of a second quicker in the quarter mile.

But the Gravity reached 150 mph three seconds faster than the Z06, which shocked many experts. This makes the Gravity one of the only SUVs that can hang with true race cars.

A future van with a racer’s heart

Even though the Gravity has three rows of seats and looks like a high-tech minivan, it drives like a fast-moving bullet. It’s roomy enough to carry seven people comfortably and still fast enough to win a drag race.

This SUV is not just about carrying kids; it’s about crushing records. Lucid’s design blends family needs with top-notch electric speed like never before.

Rivals can’t keep up

The Gravity proved its power in Jason Cammisa’s “Mom Missiles” drag race, where it beat every SUV on the track. It left the Rivian R1S with four motors, BMW iX M60, and Mercedes-AMG EQE53 in the dust without even breaking a sweat.

Lucid didn’t just win; it dominated. That makes the Gravity the current king of high-speed electric SUVs with no real rival yet.

What’s under the hood matters

The reason for Gravity’s wild speed isn’t just the motors; it’s also how well the car is built from the inside out. Many SUVs slow down after 60 mph, but the Gravity keeps gaining strength and never loses its push.

This shows that Lucid’s team focused on every detail, not just the big numbers. Gravity’s deep performance comes from smart engineering and expert planning.

Not just a one-hit wonder

The Gravity is Lucid’s second model after the sleek Air sedan, but it’s the one catching everyone’s attention now. While the Air focused on style and comfort, the Gravity adds size, speed, and real family space.

This isn’t just a follow-up; it’s a statement that Lucid can do more than one thing well. Gravity is proof that Lucid knows how to surprise the world twice.

A Dream Edition worth chasing

The version that stunned reviewers was the Dream Edition, which is the best and most powerful Gravity model so far. It brings together top-tier features, strong electric power, and cutting-edge technology all in one big package.

Even with all its size, it moves like a sports car and rides like a luxury sedan. That’s the kind of combination drivers don’t usually expect in a seven-seater.

Big numbers, slow sales

Lucid delivered 3,309 EVs in Q2 2025 and 6,075 units in H1 (Air + Gravity combined); the company has not released production splits by mode.

Lucid says this is part of a careful rollout and not a sign of failure. Still, fans and experts are watching closely to see how fast production can grow next.

A strong statement for Lucid

Lucid didn’t just build a fast car; it built a car that can compete with the world’s most famous brands. Beating Porsche and Lamborghini show that this startup has big dreams and even bigger abilities.

Even though it’s still small, Lucid’s smart engineering is now catching attention across the auto world. Gravity’s wins on the track may help Lucid gain real momentum in the market.

Can it beat Tesla next?

One big question remains: can the Gravity beat the Tesla Model X Plaid, the fastest electric SUV from the biggest EV brand? That race hasn’t happened yet, but many people are waiting to see what would happen.

Until then, the Gravity holds the crown as the speed leader in this space. When the time comes, it’ll be a battle everyone will be watching closely.

Family car, racing soul

Lucid made the Gravity a family car, with comfort, room, and three full rows of seats for daily driving. But under the hood, it has the heart of a racecar, ready to win on the drag strip.

That makes it one of the rare vehicles that can do it all, from school runs to track days. It’s not just a new SUV; it’s a whole new kind of car.
