I was kind of shocked to see a new 3 row Lucid Gravity running mid 10's at 139mph on the Hagerty You Tube comparison. The quickest gas SUV RSQ8 was almost 20mph slower in trap speed!

Speed wise in a straight line that is
absolutely true.
But........I drove the all electric i5 M60 a couple of times when I did the BMW Track Days program at Thermal last year, and
hated it. No feel, heavy as a tank, hard to get rotated in time to hit the apex, and I'm sure will eat through brakes at a wallet draining pace. It was simply no fun. Maybe BMW can fix all that with the iM3?????
