Lucid Motors showed the concept of a luxury sedan Air in 2017 for the first time. Right from that time it is being praised as ‘Tesla killer’ here and there. Shortly after the unveiling the company got into some financial problems. Though, several months ago they announced the project to be resumed, and finally yesterday Lucid Motors unveiled the Air production version.
The car has very minor differences from the concept both inside and outside. The interior has sleek instrument panel which is more traditionally structured than Tesla’s, and the retractable screen at the center of a console.
Lucid Air will have 4 versions:
— Air, price under $80,000, range - TBA, power - TBA, 0-60 mph acceleration - TBA, availability - 2022
— Air Touring, $95,000, range - 406 miles, power - 620 hp, 0-60 mph acceleration - 3.2s, availability - Q4 2021
— Air Grand Touring, $139,000, range - 517 miles, power - 800 hp, 0-60 mph acceleration - 3.0s, availability - Q2 2021
— Air Dream Edition, $169,000, range - 503 miles, power - 1080 hp, 0-60 mph acceleration - 2.5s, availability - Q2 2021
The automakers announces the most expensive versions to come into production first. Such cars are going to be equipped with large 113 kWh battery packs.
