Lucid’s special edition Gravity is making waves
Electric automaker Lucid’s Gravity Dream Edition SUV has raced out of the gates with a blistering quarter-mile time of 10.6 seconds at 140 mph that topped Lamborghini’s Urus Performante, Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo GT, Rivian’s R1S Tri-Motor Max, BMW’s iX M60, and Mercedes-AMG’s EQE53. The Lucid Gravity Dream Edition also beat the Corvette Z06 to 150 mph, while falling just one-tenth of a second behind through a quarter mile, according to Car and Driver’s testing. The Gravity Dream Edition, starting at $139,900, offers 1,070 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-60 mph time of three seconds and a 155 mph top speed.
Lucid equips this powerful SUV with two permanent magnet synchronous motors and all-wheel drive, while the suspension includes air, front double wishbone, and rear multilink configurations. Front and rear axle suspension is fully adaptive for either manual or automatic height adjustment. Gravity Dream Edition drivers also benefit from receiving progressive steering, automatically adjusting the steering ratio based on speed for more control and comfort. Drive modes include Sprint, Smooth, and Swift. Sprint utilizes full horsepower, and Swift strikes a balance between Sprint and Smooth.
Compared to the Gravity Dream Edition’s 10.6-second quarter-mile time, Lamborghini’s Urus Performante took 11.2 seconds to travel the same distance at 122 mph. Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo GT tied the Urus Performante’s time and clocked just under its speed at 121 mph, the same as Rivian’s R1S Tri-Motor Max. BMW’s iX M60 and Mercedes-AMG’s EQE53 took 11.5 seconds to travel a quarter mile, but the former’s speed at the line was three mph slower, Car and Driver reports. Tesla’s 1,020-horsepower Model X Plaid was not part of the testing, and though the Gravity Dream Edition beat the R1S Tri-Motor Max’s quarter-mile performance, this Rivian beat its rival by three-tenths of a second to 60 mph. While the Corvette Z06 was faster than the Gravity Dream Edition through a quarter-mile by one-tenth of a second, this minuscule difference speaks volumes considering the Lucid is about 66.4% heavier than the Chevrolet.
Where Lucid’s Gravity production stands
Drivers looking for an SUV as fast as the Gravity Dream Edition will likely have to wait, as the manufacturer is producing the model and its trims in limited batches. The Gravity has three trims: Touring, Grand Touring, and Dream Edition, with the first unit made in December. Lucid’s website currently limits the Gravity’s design configurator for online orders to the Grand Touring, and in June, the company’s CEO, Marc Winterhoff, described the model’s production as “slower than desired” because of tariff pressures and quality assurance, according to TechCrunch.
Final thoughts
The Lucid Gravity Dream Edition sets a new performance benchmark for the luxury electric SUV space while maintaining the traditional comforts of its class and turning the heads of gas-powered rivals. This special edition trim hit 30 mph in 1.4 seconds, 70 mph in 3.4 seconds, and exceeded 100 mph in 5.9 seconds, helping set a 10.6-second quarter-mile time. Still, with Lucid being such a new brand with limited production, competitors likely won’t have to worry about broader public access impacting its sales too drastically.
