Known for its cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance in the electric vehicle (EV) segment, Lucid has added a new level of security and protection to its flagship sedan, transforming the Sapphire edition into a powerhouse of speed and safety.
The Lucid Air Sapphire, already celebrated as one of the fastest production EVs, has now been enhanced with state-of-the-art armouring without compromising its world-class performance. Boasting a staggering 1,234 horsepower from its 920kW dual-motor setup, this armoured EV can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds, setting a new benchmark in speed for armoured vehicles. This impressive acceleration makes it the fastest armoured car ever produced, maintaining the incredible performance characteristics that Lucid is known for.
While speed remains the standout feature of the Lucid Air Sapphire, its advanced armoring is what sets it apart in the realm of high-performance vehicles. The car is equipped with ballistic protection rated to withstand high-caliber rounds, explosive resistance, and reinforced panels that ensure passenger safety without sacrificing aesthetics or performance.
The armoring process includes bulletproof glass, run-flat tires, and reinforced doors, offering top-level security while maintaining the sleek, luxurious design that Lucid Air is known for. The integration of this technology is seamless, making the Sapphire an inconspicuous yet highly secure vehicle.
Inside the Lucid Air Sapphire, passengers are treated to an environment of supreme luxury. From its ultra-premium leather seating to its cutting-edge infotainment system, the interior remains untouched by the armoring enhancements. The spacious cabin features advanced soundproofing, enhancing the already quiet ride of the electric powertrain, and ensuring that those inside can experience both comfort and peace of mind.
With the Lucid Air Sapphire, Lucid Motors has redefined what is possible in the armored vehicle segment. This groundbreaking vehicle combines record-breaking speed, state-of-the-art EV technology, and unmatched protection, making it the ideal choice for high-profile individuals seeking both luxury and security. The Sapphire’s launch marks a new frontier in high-performance armored vehicles, appealing to security-conscious buyers in luxury markets like the UAE, where safety and style are equally important.
