Lucid has revealed that it will produce two variants of its flagship Air Dream Edition.
The Lucid Air Dream Edition is the first version of the brand’s maiden EV and was originally announced in just one configuration. It has now been confirmed that Dream Edition reservation holders will be able to configure their cars and choose between the Performance version and the Range version.

Both use the same basic dual-motor powertrain but whereas the Air Dream Edition Performance produces 1,111 hp, the Air Dream Edition Range is capped at 933 hp. Both have more than 1,000 Nm of combined torque and the Performance will hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 2.5 seconds while the Range will hit the same mark in 2.7 seconds. Both can hit a 168 mph (270 km/h) top speed.
As standard, the Performance comes with 21-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 245/35 at the front and 265/35 at the rear. 19-inch wheels are optional. By comparison, the Range gets the 19-inch shoes as standard with 245/45 Pirelli P Zero tires front and rear and can be optioned with the larger 21-inch shoes.
Official EPA range figures for the two models have yet to be announced but Lucid recently completed a range test with Motor Trend where a pair of Range models traveled from LA to San Francisco and back, completing the 445 mile journey with 30 miles and 72 miles of charge remaining.
“As a technology company, we seek to exceed expectations and this is clearly evident with our Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance and Range variants,” Lucid chief executive and chief technology officer Peter Rawlinson said in a statement. “I’m delighted to provide our Dream Edition customers with this additional choice and breadth of capabilities.”
Both the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance and Range carry a full-equipped price of $169,000. Customer deliveries will begin later this year while the more affordable Lucid Air Grand Touring will launch shortly after.
