Lucid Air Sapphire, being the very first Lucid product to bear the Sapphire name, builds upon our technical prowess to take electric high-performance on to next level. "Today, with the introduction of the Sapphire line, we take the next logical step of advancement.
"Last year, Lucid rocked the world with the launch of Lucid Air, a fusion of unsurpassed range, efficiency, superior driving dynamics, and interior space, uniquely enabled by our in-house technology," said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. The company shared the details of a new Sapphire brand that Lucid says will be available as an ultra-high-performance version of all its EV models going forward. Lucid officially unveiled the new tri-motor Sapphire model during The Quail at Monterey Car Week today. "And because a three-motor Lucid Air was always part of the development program, it retains all the strengths of Lucid Air variants already on the market – including limo-like rear legroom, a voluminous trunk and frunk, and impressive efficiency." "With three state-of-the-art electric motors – all developed and manufactured in-house by Lucid – Lucid Air Sapphire reaches an entirely new level of performance," said Eric Bach, SVP of Product and Chief Engineer, Lucid Group. With an expected price tag of $249,000, the Sapphire is equipped with the highly anticipated three-motor powertrain, featuring a new twin motor rear-drive unit and a single motor front-drive unit. The new brand will be led by the world’s first fully electric luxury super-sports sedan, the new Lucid Air Sapphire.
