Efficiency in both electric and internal combustion four-door sedans.

-

With 805 kW of power on tap thanks to dualmotor, 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 four-door sedan, electric or internal combustion, able to achieve a quartermil­e time under 10 seconds. To put that into perspectiv­e, the Bugatti Chiron boasts a time of 9.99 seconds over the quarter mile.

With a drag coefficien­t of just 0.21, the Lucid Air is the world’s most aero-efficient luxury car.

Aero efficiency combined with state-of-the-art miniaturis­ation and weight saving in the powertrain, propels the Lucid Air to the very forefront of electric vehicle engineerin­g with an unpreceden­ted range of up to 832 km on a single charge.

Fitted with an in-house developed, compact 113 kWh extended-range battery pack, the Lucid Air will also be the fastest charging electric vehicle ever offered, with the capability to charge at rates of up to 32 km per minute, with nearly 500 km of range added in just 20 minutes of charging.

SPACE IS THE ULTIMATE LUXURY

Lucid Air offers a full-size luxury-class interior while maintainin­g an agile, sport sedan footprint. This approach also results in the largest frunk (a boot located at the front rather than the rear of a car) of any electric vehicle, and incredible bi-level storage capabiliti­es in both front and rear compartmen­ts.

The Lucid Air Dream Edition best illustrate­s Lucid Motors’ post-luxury design philosophy. This limited edition will be available in Stellar White, Infinite Black, or a Dream Edition-exclusive Eureka Gold finish. Each colour will come with an exclusive “Santa Monica” themed interior trim package, including full Nappa grain Bridge of Weir leather throughout and silvered eucalyptus wood accents. The Dream Edition will also feature a unique 21” “AeroDream” wheel design and be highlighte­d by special badging and trim that marks its position as a limitedpro­duction halo edition of the Lucid Air.

DISPLAY AND PLAY

The cockpit design of the Lucid Air iterates on Tesla’s use of next-generation displays and humancentr­ic user interface. In front of the driver is a 34” curved Glass Cockpit 5K display that “floats” above the dashboard. In addition, a retractabl­e central Pilot Panel in the middle of the dashboard provides control over the vehicle’s systems and functions. Deviating from Tesla’s approach, digital displays are complement­ed with several traditiona­l control
