Nearly four years after displaying it as a prototype, Lucid Motors, which is seeking to set new standards for sustainable transportation through its advanced luxury electric vehicles, today revealed the production details of the Lucid Air after it had already set new industry standards in the electric and luxury vehicle sectors. In key areas of performance, efficiency, and design, deliveries of the new luxury sedan and pure electric drive will begin in the spring of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Space to Create the Air<\/strong>
The Lucid Air is the result of a revolutionary approach to automotive packaging called the Lucid Space Concept, which capitalizes upon the miniaturization of Lucid\u2019s in-house developed EV drivetrain to optimize interior cabin space. The concept is central to the architecture of the Lucid Electric Advanced Platform (LEAP) upon which the Lucid Air, and forthcoming Lucid vehicles, will be built. It\u2019s a holistic, clean-sheet approach to advanced EV construction, without using existing \u201coff-the-shelf\u201d solutions so often seen in EVs from legacy automakers.

By simultaneously making smaller yet more powerful electric motors and dramatically improving the packaging of the entire electric powertrain, Lucid is able to reclaim that space for passengers and their comfort. This extends the philosophy of hyper-efficiency embedded in every facet of Lucid Air, from energy to spatial efficiency, delivering an unprecedented combination of range, practicality, performance, and luxury.

The Space Concept also contributes to the subtly different and modern proportions for the Lucid Air, without relying on any traditional automotive design cues, instead of delivering a beautiful car that looks entirely distinctive on the road.

Record-breaking Performance and Range<\/strong>
With up to 1,080 horsepower available in a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive architecture, the Lucid Air is able to achieve quarter-mile times as quick as 9.9 seconds on a consistent, repeatable basis. To date, it is the only electric sedan able to achieve a quarter-mile time under 10 seconds. The power of the Lucid Air is complemented by an available extended-range capability that achieves an estimated EPA range of up to 517 miles on a single charge.

World\u2019s Fastest Charging EV<\/strong>
<\/em>When it arrives to the market, the Lucid Air will also be the fastest charging electric vehicle ever offered, with the capability to charge at rates of up to 20 miles per minute when connected to a DC Fast Charging network. Owners charging their Lucid Air in real-world conditions on the road can translate into a 300-mile range in just 20 minutes of charging.

Race-Proven EV Battery Packs<\/strong>
<\/em>Lucid Motors drew upon 10 years of experience and over 20 million miles of real-world testing in creating its in-house developed, compact 113kWh extended-range battery pack. Further developed in the world\u2019s leading electric racing championship, Lucid\u2019s race-proven battery technology excels with a custom Battery Management System (BMS), clever cell packaging, and world-class energy density.

Class-Leading Interior Packaging and Largest Frunk
<\/em><\/strong>With Lucid\u2019s exclusive Space Concept philosophy, Lucid Air offers a full-size luxury-class interior while maintaining an agile, sport sedan footprint. This approach also results in the largest frunk of any electric car to date and incredible bi-level storage capabilities in both front and rear compartments.

The Most Aerodynamic Luxury Car in the World<\/strong>
<\/em>The Lucid Air is the world\u2019s most aero-efficient luxury car, with tests completed at Windshear\u2019s advanced rolling-road wind tunnel verifying a coefficient of drag of 0.21.

Advanced Glass Cockpit Displays Combined with Tactile Physical Controls<\/strong>
<\/em>The interior of the Lucid Air reflects a revolution in how next-generation free-form displays are elegantly integrated into the design architecture of the cabin, providing a beautiful and seamless way of interacting with the vehicle software and human-centric user interface. In front of the driver is a 34-inch curved Glass Cockpit 5K display that \u201cfloats\u201d above the dashboard, contributing to the light and airy feel of the interior. In addition, a retractable central Pilot Panel sits in the finger-tip reach of the driver and passenger for deeper control of the vehicle\u2019s systems and functions. To complement the digital displays, several highly tactile, precision-milled physical controls are present, including ribbed turbines for steering wheel functions, a volume control roller, and alloy toggle switches for tuning climate settings.

World\u2019s Most Advanced Lighting Technology<\/strong>
Lucid Air\u2019s headlamps are a truly revolutionary Micro Lens Array system comprised of literally thousands of \u201clight channels.\u201d Developed entirely in-house, this technology provides the brightest, most precise, and most advanced lighting system ever. Digital steering of light direction is possible by digitally switching light channels in different directions, revolutionizing visibility, and enhancing safety.

Dream Edition<\/strong>
The Lucid Air Dream Edition will feature a unique combination of Lucid attributes and technology, combining incredible performance with exceptional range. The 1,080 hp luxury EV sedan will be available in Stellar White, Infinite Black, or a Dream Edition-exclusive Eureka Gold finish. Each color will come with an exclusive \u201cSanta Monica\u201d themed interior trim package, including a full Nappa grain Bridge of Weir leather throughout and silvered Eucalyptus wood accents. The Dream Edition will also feature a unique 21-inch \u201cAeroDream\u201d wheel design and be highlighted by special badging and trim that marks its position as a limited-production halo edition of the Lucid Air.

Touring and Grand Touring Editions<\/strong>
The heart of the Lucid Air lineup will be the Air Touring and Air Grand Touring models, which offer 620hp and 800hp respectively. The Air Grand Touring will have a range available up to the recently announced estimated EPA rating of 517 miles. Full details of available configurations and all Air models can be found on the Lucid Motors website following the reveal show on September 9, 2020.
Production at the Lucid Motors factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, will begin in the coming months, with deliveries of the Lucid Air to North American customers to commence in the spring of 2021.

A Dream Becomes Reality<\/strong>
The Lucid Air will be available initially in North America, offered in four model ranges:
The Air, the starting point for the lineup, available in 2022 and starting below $80,000
The well-equipped Air Touring model, available in late 2021, from $95,000
The fully equipped Air Grand Touring, available mid-2021, from $139,000
The all-inclusive, limited-volume Air Dream Edition, available in spring 2021, at $169,000<\/p>\n\n\n
