Lucid Air Sets New World Record with 1,205 km Drive on a Single Charge

In a stunning demonstration of electric endurance, Lucid Group has redefined what’s possible in EV range. The California-based manufacturer, known for its cutting-edge electric vehicles, has officially set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the longest journey by an electric car on a single charge, clocking an extraordinary 1,205 kilometers (~749 miles).

The record-breaking trip was completed last weekend in a Lucid Air Grand Touring, which traveled from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Munich, Germany. The route included a mix of challenging alpine roads, high-speed highways, and typical secondary roads—highlighting the car’s versatility as much as its raw range capability.

This feat surpasses the previous record of 1,045 kilometers set in June 2025 by a commanding 160 kilometers.

“This range record represents a significant milestone – it’s yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid,” said Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid.

At the core of this achievement lies Lucid’s proprietary electric powertrain technology. The Air Grand Touring variant delivers an astonishing 831 PS (611 kW), a WLTP-rated range of up to 960 km, and world-class efficiency at just 13.5 kWh per 100 km. Beyond efficiency, the sedan boasts serious performance—capable of hitting 270 km/h and regaining up to 400 kilometers of range in just 16 minutes thanks to its ultra-fast charging capability.

But it’s not just about performance and range. Inside, the Air Grand Touring offers a spacious, luxurious interior tailored for long-distance comfort, seating five in an environment crafted from high-grade materials.

This milestone also marks the second successful collaboration between Lucid and Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur passionate about electric endurance records. Sabanci previously set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title in 2024 for the most countries visited on a single charge, crossing nine borders in—once again—a Lucid Air Grand Touring.

“When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning,” said Sabanci. “This new achievement takes that journey even further. I’m proud to be part of a movement that proves electric mobility isn’t just the future; it’s already redefining what’s possible today.”

With this latest accolade, Lucid cements its leadership in long-range EV technology, pushing the envelope of what drivers can expect from electric vehicles in real-world conditions.

Lucid Air Grand Touring Key Specs:

  • Power Output: 611 kW / 831 PS
  • Top Speed: 270 km/h
  • WLTP Range: 817 – 960 km
  • Efficiency: 16.0 – 13.5 kWh/100 km
  • 0 g CO₂/km emissions

As range anxiety continues to diminish, Lucid’s achievement not only underscores the capabilities of its flagship sedan but also reinforces the message that electric driving is no longer a compromise—it’s a leap forward.

Shaquille O’Neal owns a unique Lucid Air Coupe

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).

Saudi police to use all-electric Lucid Air

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.
