Lucid Air Dream Edition sold out, Air Grand Touring deliveries have started

Lucid Air Dream Edition launch version is no longer available. Well, that was fast. Fear not, however - the first production series is here to quench your thirst for Lucid Air. The super luxurious sedan is now available in Grand Touring and Grand Touring Performance versions.

We start with Air Grand Touring - it comes with 819hp output, which is good enough to get it from naught to 60mph in 3 seconds. According to EPA, it can carry on cruising for 519 miles (835 km) as long as you stick to standard 19” wheels. If you go for optional 21” rims it will cost you - and not just a bunch of cash - the range will drop to 469 miles (754 km).

The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance ups the power to 1050hp and cuts the acceleration time down to 2.6 seconds. Its EPA range is estimated at 446 miles (717 km) - that’s a decent chunk more than Tesla S Long Range with its estimated 405 miles. The gloves are off. Both versions are powered by two dual motors, essentially four motors but Lucid puts two motors in one housing and makes them really compact. Each dual motor powers one axle. Top speed is the same for both models at 168mph.

When it comes to equipment Lucid doesn’t skimp - Air Grand Touring and Grand Touring Performance come with the glass cockpit and integrated 34” 5K display, DreamDrive Pro advanced driver assistance, Surreal Sound Pro system. There's also full glass roof, Napa leather interior with wood and Alcantara inserts.

Since the Lucid batteries run at 924V the cars come equipped with a 900V DC charging system that can add 300 miles of range in 21 minutes - as long as you can find a 350kW DC charger.

All that pleasure comes at a price - $139,000 starting for the Air Grand Touring and if you like more performance then be ready to splash out $179,000 of your hard earned money. Deliveries for the Grand Touring model have started and the Performance version will be available from June.
