The engine

Tri-Motor Electric

Tri-Motor Electric

Three of Lucid's miniaturized in-house drive units — one front, two rear — combine for over 1,200 hp and near-instant, seamless thrust, with torque-vectoring across the rear axle that gives a four-door sedan supercar cornering.

Lucid's drive units are among the most power-dense in the industry, born from the company's roots supplying battery systems to Formula E. The Air rides on a 900-volt-plus architecture engineered for both range and rapid charging.
