Lucid Air Archives - Brochureshub

Shaquille Rashaun O’Neal is a 4-time NBA champion and the owner of several truly remarkable and valuable cars. He recently added a modified Lucid Air Coupe to his collection.

The car was modified by the American company West Coast Customs. The rear doors were removed, the B-pillar was moved back, and longer front doors were installed to make it easier for the former NBA basketball player to enter the vehicle. The Lucid name on the front was replaced with “Diesel”, and the car received rims with the Superman logo and red color to match his Rolls-Royce Cullinan. It is not known whether West Coast Customs made any other modifications.

The entry level Air Pure is equipped with an 88-kWh battery and rear wheel drive, capable of producing 430 hp (321 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque, and has a range of 406 mi (653 km). The Air Dream Edition Range has a 112 kWh battery pack which can provide an estimated 520 mi (840 km) of EPA range. The most powerful version, the Air Dream Edition Performance has a combined output of 1,111 hp (828 kW) and can reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 235 mph (378 km/h).

Lucid Motors has been struggling with stock prices and car deliveries due to a slowdown in electric vehicle sales, and now they have signed a contract to supply the Saudi Arabian police force with Lucid Air. These are all-electric sedans that will cruise on the roads of the Kingdom.

The first copy was presented in Riyadh, and it is finished in black and white police livery. On the roof of the car, instead of a siren and police lights, there is a carrier with a drone. By pressing a button, the driver activates the drone, which takes off.

For now, there are no detailed photos of the car’s interior. All cars should be equipped with standard police equipment, with perhaps some extras.

This is not a surprise if we consider that the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia owns 60% of the shares of Lucid Motors, and that Saudi Arabia recently signed an agreement with Lucid Group on the construction of the first ever facility for the production of electric vehicles in KSA. It is part of the Vision 2030 plan by which the largest oil producer wants to transform its economy.

Representatives of Saudi Arabia stated that this is only the beginning of what can be expected in the future, and the opening of the first Lucid Group factory will enable the realization of the recently signed agreement with the Government of Saudi Arabia on the sale of 100,000 vehicles in the next decade. The factory will be built in Jeddah and will have a capacity of 150,000 vehicles per year.
