Meet The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance
Meet The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance-March 2024

Lucid Motors is one of those automotive companies that really doesn’t seem to miss, and the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is yet another example of that exact principle. Who doesn’t want a high-performance electric vehicle?

Most of Lucid’s lineup has been dedicated to breaking down preconceived notions about electric vehicles; the company’s lineup consists of gorgeous sedans with impressive range, comfort, and performance. The Performance spec of the Air Grand Touring, though, is the most impressive of all thus far.

Lucid’s Air Dream trim boasts 1,111 horsepower, but the Air Grand Touring trades in on those numbers to opt for quicker acceleration. It’ll make 1,050 horsepower (a big jump compared to the already-impressive Grand Touring’s 819 HP) and can jump from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.6 seconds.

Even better, that added performance doesn’t compromise on the range. Where the standard Grand Touring gets 469 miles to a charge with the 21-inch wheels, the Grand Touring Performance still nets 446 miles of range. That’s still far more than most EV owners will need from their vehicles and only 25 fewer miles than you can get on the limited-run Lucid Air Dream. It’s also more than you can get from other competitors in the performance EV niche.

All that added tech, though, comes at a price. The Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance will start at a hefty $179,000, so it’s not exactly going to be the kind of vehicle just anyone nabs. Deliveries are set to start in June 2022 here in the United States.

Lucid Motors has had to delay its initial deliveries of the Lucid Air as a result of supply chain concerns, but what the company has done so far is quite impressive for a brand new automaker that had previously only sourced batteries to the Formula E racing series.

I used to spend hours in my room creating and taking apart new vehicle designs out of my kit-bashed LEGO bins — a helicopter with blades that always had to be able to spin, doors had to open, landing gear could sometimes retract, and my golden rule was my...

The Alpina B8 Gran Coupe Makes Too Much Power
There’s something strange about this Alpina B8 Gran Coupe. Normally there’s a fairly clear delineation between the all-powerful M and the more cruiser-style B. But this time the roles are reversed. If you roll up to a stoplight in your Gran Coupe, the Alpina B8 next to you will...

Blip: A Picture But Not A Replica
Some cars have become so iconic that you kind of forget what they actually look like, and I think the Cobra, with all the slightly-altered replicas out there, is one of those. It’s a great-looking car! Minimal yet dramatic, athletic and powerful while still looking approachable. It’s interesting to...
