The 2022 Porsche 911 is one of the world’s most exotic cars. Its interstellar performance, six figure price tag and bleeding edge tech makes it a vehicle that only those with very deep pockets can afford. But how does it stack up to the 2022 Lucid Air, an electric newcomer that has taken the automobile industry by storm due to its sci fi appearance, stupendous horsepower and unprecedented range?
Design & Style
The Lucid Air features a sleek and aerodynamic body with the ability to seat five passengers. It has all wheeled drive and the cabin is both upscale and spacious, with a glass based canopy that livens up the atmosphere.
The Porsche 911 seats four passengers and may be purchased as a Targa, Coupe or Cabriolet. Its infotainment has been reskinned and simplified and the exterior retains the lovely teardrop shape that made this model famous. It is wide and thick when compared to previous generations but retains its marvelous acceleration and top speed, which is partly the result of its engine as well as weight, torque distribution and the adaptive dampers.
Technology & Safety
The Porsche 911 is equipped with the auto industry’s newest safety tech, such as night vision, a camera with surround view, blind area monitoring, activated lane control, and emergency automated brakes with adapted cruise control. Luxuries within its cabin include an audio system with eight speakers, keyless start, and climate control, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and powered leather seats that can be cooled or heated.
The Lucid Air is equipped with multiple safety features, such as blind area monitoring, frontal collision alerts, lane management, adapted cruise control, and emergency automatic brakes with notifications for cross traffic in the rear. Luxuries within its cabin include voice recognition, climate settings, digitized gauge cluster, and wireless charging for smartphones.
Performance
The Lucid Air is probably one of the most dynamic electric vehicles we’ve ever seen. Those that purchase the Dream Edition Performance will get an engine that is capable of generating 1111 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 2.6 seconds. It has a maximum 173 mph top speed. Those that purchase the Porsche 911 Turbo S will get an engine that can generate 640 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 2.6 seconds with a maximum 205 mph top speed.
The Bottom Line
Though the Lucid Air has greater horsepower, the Porsche 911 has greater top speed, and the two vehicles are tied when it comes to zero to sixty acceleration time. The trouble with the Lucid Air is that its large tire and wheel combination creates excessive road noise, its controls are cumbersome, some of its front seats lack sufficient foot space beneath and most people have simply never heard of the brand, which makes the Porsche 911 the winner.
