Lucid Air will soon have a "Stealth Look" finish option

Lucid embraces the dark side with a new trim option for its Electric Vehicle Air. The idea behind "Stealth Look" is to give the car a "darker and overtly sporty personality", according to the automaker. If you select this option, Lucid will replace 35 exterior components that have a platinum finish with darker-looking versions, featuring gloss black and satin graphite accents on select parts.

Among the elements that will have this look are the mirror caps, the glass roof frame, the trim around the headlights and taillights and the front nose blade. Wheel designs and finishes will also get a makeover, with a different look for each size.

The stealth look is available for the Air Grand Touring Performance, Air Grand Touring and Air Touring variants. It can be applied over all exterior colours: Stellar White, Infinite Black, Cosmos Silver, Quantum Gray and Zenith Red. Lucid plans to introduce the $6,000 option early next year, though you can configure an Air with Stealth Look starting this Wednesday.

Whether you can actually get your hands on an Air anytime soon is another matter. Earlier this month, Lucid again lowered its 2022 production target, this time from 20,000 to between 6,000 and 7,000 units. Between the start of the year and the start of August, it built just 1,405 vehicles, blaming parts and material shortages. In May, the company recalled all Airs it had manufactured up to that point in 2022 due to wiring issues.
