A customer-owned Lucid Air Sapphire has run the quarter-mile in a record-breaking 8.930 seconds. With a one-foot rollout, it managed to reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 1.77 seconds. Lucid’s work to make the car easy to drag race has been successful, and sets the Air Sapphire up as a reliable giant-killer. We’ve seen Ben “The Stig” Collins run some impressive quarter-mile times in a Lucid Air Sapphire in official videos, but now that customers have their hands on them, we can validate those results with some independent runs, which is exactly what the DragTimes YouTube channel has done.

Apart from the wheels and tires, this M240i xDrive appears to be in stock condition. However, under the hood it has received lots of modifications that allow it to deliver this incredible output. The modified M240i had previously run down the quarter-mile in 7.9 seconds at 175 mph (281 km/h). Save for the aftermarket wheels, beefy tires, and the NACA duct in the hood, this BMW M240i xDrive looks just like any other. However, hidden beneath the standard skin is an extremely modified powertrain that has made this the quickest BMW on earth. Each M240i xDrive to leave the BMW factory is equ ..read more

Fisker is struggling to the point of breaking – especially after today’s news that the talks with a major automaker ended, and this video, showing the all-electric Ocean racing a Tesla Model Y Performance, won’t do the EV startup any favors. Over the past few weeks, the Fisker Ocean has been subjected to a handful of highly critical reviews and the automaker is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy. Recently, CarWow got its hands on the electric SUV and raced it against its most direct rival and while the Fisker puts up a good fight, it is unable to match the Model Y, despite actually havin ..read more

Late last year, Brooks from the DragTimes channel on YouTube raced his Tesla Model S Plaid against a Dodge Demon 170 to determine if the send-off to the Challenger had enough to take the crown from the EV king. It didn’t. However, the owner of a freshly-delivered Demon 170 has shown that if you know how to launch the car, it can beat a Model S Plaid. This blue Demon 170 is owned by Demonology on YouTube. He took delivery of it in late January and has already run it multiple times at the drag strip and unlike in the Tesla, getting the perfect launch in the Dodge requires some practice.

Drag racing is fun, but it doesn’t tell the whole story when it comes to performance. A U-drag race does a far better job and that’s the competition that a Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Raptor R just took part in. The results aren’t all that shocking but they demonstrate the vast performance differences between two of the most powerful trucks on the market. A U-drag race is exactly what it sounds like. Two vehicles race from a standing start through a quarter of a mile but then have to make a U-turn and race back to the start to find the winner. Essentially, this test exposes acceleration, braki ..read more

US-based tuner Hennessey introduced the H700 package for the drop-top C8 Corvette Stingray, offering a Z06-beating 708 hp (528 kW / 718 PS). The modified sportscar was put to the test in a drag race against the Tesla Cybertruck and predictably prevailed, benefiting from the notable difference in weight and size. A drag race between a Corvette and a full-size truck would sound absurd a few decades ago but EVs have changed the automotive landscape when it comes to straight-line performance. In addition, the Tesla Cybertruck is the dual-motor AWD version with 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS) rather tha ..read more
