In this epic battle of American muscle, Hagerty pits the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 against the Lucid Air Sapphire to determine the quickest production car from the States. The Demon roars with 1,025 horsepower, a true beast on four wheels, while the Lucid sneaks in with a silent but deadly 1,234 horsepower punch. As the race unfolds on both regular asphalt and VHT-coated tracks, the Lucid's all-wheel-drive system and lightning-fast traction control give it a significant edge over the Demon, leaving the latter in the dust by a whopping 2 seconds.

The showdown not only showcases raw power but also delves into the nuances of drag racing, shedding light on the controversial practice of "roll out" and the impact of track conditions on performance. Despite the Demon's impressive acceleration figures on regular asphalt, it struggles to keep up with the Lucid's relentless speed and efficiency. The Lucid Air Sapphire's dominance on the track solidifies its position as the fastest accelerating production American car, leaving no room for doubt or dispute.

As the dust settles and the engines cool, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the Lucid Air Sapphire reigns supreme in the realm of American performance cars. With its groundbreaking technology and unmatched acceleration, it sets a new standard for what an electric vehicle can achieve on the drag strip. The Hagerty race not only crowns a winner but also sparks a conversation about the future of high-performance vehicles, where electric power and advanced traction control systems redefine the limits of speed and agility on the track.
