• Lucid’s halo car features three motors, four driving modes, next-generation carbon-ceramic brakes, a special aerodynamic package, sport seats, track-tuned suspension, and more.
• Air Sapphire delivers both 1,251 PS/pk/ch/hk and a WLTP range of 694 kilometers on a single charge, and an energy consumption of 19.1 kWh/100 km, representing an extraordinary fusion of capabilities.

MUNICH – May 27, 2025 – Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced electric vehicles, today announced the start of deliveries and final specs of the Lucid Air Sapphire in Europe. As the ultimate fusion of leading-edge technology, refined design, and on-road versatility, the Air Sapphire elevates electric performance to new heights – marking a monumental step forward in automotive innovation.

“The Lucid Air Sapphire is the world’s most well-rounded and versatile high-performance EV,” said Lawrence Hamilton, President and Managing Director Europe at Lucid. “The technology that underpins Sapphire enables an unsurpassed blend of performance, agility, and versatility. The result is an extreme performance car that offers delightful responsiveness and everyday practicality. It will be a treat to see Air Sapphire on European roads.”

Game-Changing Electric Performance

With a range that defies expectations, the Lucid Air Sapphire achieves a WLTP range of 694 kilometers on a single charge, setting the standard for performance EV capabilities. It has a three-motor powertrain, all developed and manufactured in-house, which produces a total of 1,251 PS/pk/ch/hk and 1,940 Nm of torque. Thanks to the enhanced power delivery provided by its twin rear-drive unit, the Sapphire can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2 seconds. 

“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,” notes SVP of Product and Chief Engineer Eric Bach.

Sapphire Design: California Inspiration, Futuristic Sophistication

The Lucid Air Sapphire, like all Air models, seamlessly marries form and function to transform the luxury sedan into an automotive masterpiece. Changes specific to Sapphire include an exterior that balances downforce and efficiency at high speeds, as well as an exclusive Sapphire Blue exterior paint combined with Lucid’s Stealth Look trim. The forged-aluminum Aero Sapphire wheels wear specially designed Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires as standard from the factory, offering enhanced performance and increased efficiency. For maximum track performance, Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires are available as an accessory package, which maximize dry cornering, braking performance, handling balance, and thermal endurance.

“The Lucid Air Sapphire stands as a remarkable brand halo for Lucid, representing a fantastic example of what our team can accomplish when we combine technology, design, and performance into an unparalleled package,” says Derek Jenkins, Senior Vice President of Design and Brand at Lucid. “The design of the Lucid Air Sapphire showcases our commitment to automotive aesthetics while delivering a driving experience like no other. It is a testament to our dedication to crafting vehicles that not only perform exceptionally and are exhilarating to drive, but also inspire awe at first sight.”

The cabin of the Lucid Air Sapphire extends the purposeful beauty of the exterior with its own interior theme called Sapphire Mojave. The stylish sports seats, designed exclusively for the Sapphire, cradle passengers with considerable support, while maintaining comfort with heating, cooling, and massage functionality.

A Technological Marvel with Leading-Edge Features

The Air Sapphire presents a line-up of four drive modes: Smooth, Swift, Sapphire, and Track. Each mode is optimized for various conditions and styles, influencing the character of the car and behavior of suspension, steering, brakes, torque vectoring, peak power and torque, and thermal controls.

• Smooth Mode: For comfortable, effortless, and highly efficient driving.
• Swift Mode: For spirited road driving. It maintains comfort while providing a distinctly sporty edge. 
• Sapphire Mode: For the ultimate on-road driving experience. Ups the ante considerably, combining unmatched power and torque with incredible reflexes and agility. 
• Track Mode: Developed solely for use on racetracks. Features three additional sub-modes – Dragstrip, Hot Lap, and Endurance – to further tune and condition the powertrain and battery for optimum performance.

Air Sapphire’s powertrain layout, focus on performance, and new features and drive modes position it as distinct in the Air line-up. This future classic provides a luxury experience to the discerning driver while offering an unparalleled experience on the racetrack, resulting in the perfect blend of sophistication and versatility.
