Lucid thinks the Air would make a good police car because of its range, space and performance

The California Highway Patrol’s motto is “Safety, Service and Security,” but you may need to throw recharging into the mix, as the law enforcement agency recently tested a modified version of the system. Clear air. It’s nicknamed the “Lucid Pursuit” and is a sleek police cruiser.

While the automaker didn’t have much to say, it did release images of an Air equipped with emergency lights and bumpers. These are joined by steel wheels and a classic two-tone paint job. We can also see a badge-like graphic with a bear representing California, as well as lightning that indicates the model is electric.

Lucid was coy about details, but suggested the Air’s “unmatched combination” of range, performance and space would make it ideal for law enforcement duties. You’ll notice that price hasn’t been mentioned, and there’s a good reason for that, as the Air Pure starts at $69,900. And that’s before factoring in all the inevitable and expensive modifications required to outfit a civilian-spec model for police work.

Even so, this is much more than the old one Dodge Charger Pursuitbut Lucid’s EV has 430 hp (321 kW / 436 hp) and an estimated range of 420 miles (676 km). The $78,900 Air Touring ups the ante with 620 hp (462 kW / 629 hp), which enables a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 3.4 seconds. Despite the performance jump, the range drops by only 14 miles (23 km).

For departments with bigger budgets and/or a complete disregard for taxpayer dollars, there’s the Air Grand Touring and the Sapphire. The former starts at $110,900 and has 819 hp (611 kW / 830 hp) as well as a range of 512 miles (824 km). The Sapphire, on the other hand, is a $249,000 hypercar that has 1,234 hp (920 kW / 1,251 hp) and a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 1.89 seconds.
