One thousand and seventy horsepower. Four doors. Seven seats. And $12,150 cheaper than the car it replaced. Lucid unveiled the 2027 Gravity GT-S at Monterey Car Week, slotting it as the permanent performance flagship above the Grand Touring and base Gravity trims. The Dream Edition has been discontinued, and the GT-S takes its place — same headline power figure, lower barrier to entry, and a clearer position in a lineup that now reads cleanly from bottom to top.
Same Muscle, New Math
Dropping $12,150 while keeping the output identical is the kind of move that makes the Dream Edition’s pricing look like a rounding error.
The GT-S runs dual electric motors producing a combined 1,070 hp — identical to the Dream Edition it replaces. Car and Driver’s real-world testing of the Dream Edition recorded 3.1 seconds to 60 mph, and Lucid estimates the same figure for the GT-S. That is serious performance for an SUV that carries three rows of passengers, a figure that almost defies the laws of physics for a vehicle this practical.
- 1,070 hp, dual-motor AWD
- 0–60 mph: 3.1 seconds (Lucid estimate, consistent with Car and Driver’s Dream Edition testing)
- Starting price: $127,750 (vs. $139,900 for the Dream Edition)
- Dynamic Handling package standard: adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering
- Orders open; delivery timing unconfirmed
For context, the Grand Touring makes 828 hp and the base Gravity produces 560 hp. The GT-S does not represent a trim upgrade — it sits in an entirely different performance bracket. If you have been waiting for a path into Lucid’s highest-output SUV without the limited-edition price premium, this is it.
Sapphire’s Aesthetic DNA
Rather than invent a new visual language for the GT-S, Lucid borrowed one that already signals exactly where this vehicle ranks.
Blue exterior accents and matching blue interior details mirror the Air Sapphire’s design signature — Lucid’s top-tier performance sedan. The visual cues function as a consistent hierarchy marker across the lineup, communicating the GT-S’s position to anyone already familiar with Lucid’s range. The Dynamic Handling package — adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering — comes standard, not as an option, which matters considerably at this price point. This repricing strategy echoes a broader industry trend where a base EV undercuts expectations on cost without sacrificing capability.
Orders are open. Deliveries? Lucid has not confirmed timing. The GT-S currently occupies that particular limbo familiar to EV shoppers: real enough to want, far enough away to wait.
