The company also announced the Lucid Air Touring, with all-wheel drive, 620 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 425 miles of range. Lucid said the Touring is its “most efficient model yet,” able to travel about 4.6 miles per kilowatt-hour.

The Touring starts at $107,400, and deliveries will be underway shortly, Lucid said.

Lucid also said the high-performance Air Sapphire, which it revealed in August, is undergoing final tuning now. Lucid currently estimates that the Air Sapphire will accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in 1.89 seconds and have a top speed of 205 miles per hour, making it the world’s quickest sedan.  

The Air Sapphire starts at $249,000, and production will begin in the first half of next year.
