This weekend won’t be spooky for some people, it will be a dream, as their Lucid Airs are finally delivered. The company announced today that its first customer deliveries will take place on Saturday, October 30. The first models delivered will be the Lucid Air Dream Edition. The launch version of the car, it features some of the electric vehicle’s most standout features, including a battery pack that can store up to 118 kWh of electricity.
That battery is big enough to take the
Lucid Air Dream Edition Range up to 520 miles on a charge when it’s fitted with
the 19-inch wheels (481 miles when fitted 21-inch wheels). Although that
version makes an impressive 933 hp and 1,390 Nm of torque, the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance makes 1,111 hp and 1,390 Nm of torque.
That’s enough to get the Performance model
up to 96 km/h in just 2.42 seconds and through the quarter-mile in
9.67 seconds (with the 21-inch wheels and tire package). Even in that guise, it
still achieves a range of up to 451 miles, though it can go up to 471 miles
with the smaller 19-inch wheels.
Upon receipt of their Air, the first
customers will be invited to embark on the inaugural Lucid Rally, which is
being hosted by the company’s leadership team. The customers will be taken on a
route that is designed to showcase the vehicle’s ride, handling, and
performance capabilities before taking their personally-configured Air home.
Production of the Lucid Air started last
month at the company’s Arizona factory. Prices for the Lucid Air Dream Edition
start at US$ 169,000.
