Lucid Group, which has begun customer deliveries of electric Lucid Air Grand Touring, will introduce a new version of Lucid Air, the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. With 1,050 horsepower, the dual-motor Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is the most powerful EV currently available in North America, and will offer an EPA-estimated driving range of 446 miles.

Two of Lucid’s proprietary electric motors—one at each axle—propel the Air Grand Touring Performance from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds. It will have an MSRP of $179,000 and customer deliveries in the US are slated to begin in June 2022. In Canada, the Air Grand Touring Performance will be priced at $242,000 CAD (before taxes), with deliveries beginning in August 2022.

(To compare, the tri-motor AWD Tesla Model S Plaid is rated with peak power of 1,020 hp, with 0-60 mph acceleration (with first foot of rollout subtracted) of 1.99 seconds. Range starts at an estimated 396 miles (19" wheels), and pricing starts at $130,490, pre-incentives.)

The retail launch of the Lucid Air Grand Touring model range signifies a major milestone in Lucid’s growth, as it is the first production series to be introduced following the sold-out Lucid Air Dream Edition, limited to 520 units.
