The engine

Dual Electric Motor

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

Astonishingly efficient and ballistically quick, Lucid's compact twin-motor drive units deliver seamless, near-violent acceleration while sipping energy, leading the entire EV industry in range per kilowatt-hour.

Engineered in-house in California under chief engineer Peter Rawlinson, formerly Tesla's Model S chief engineer, with motor, transmission and differential integrated into one tiny, lightweight unit.

The Air Grand Touring is rated up to 512 miles of EPA range, among the longest of any production EV.
It runs a 900-volt-plus electrical architecture, enabling very high-speed DC fast charging.
An Air set a Guinness World Record for crossing the most countries on a single charge, spanning nine nations in one go.
