Lucid Motors makes high-dollar, luxury electric vehicles with stylish designs and plush interiors, so turning one into a cop car wouldn’t make much sense. But then I saw this: a Lucid Air in full cop car livery with front push bars, lights, and, most importantly, steel wheels. Suddenly it makes a little more sense.

Lucid hasn't provided any details on the car's powertrain, but the Air Sapphire's three-motor setup would make the electric police cruiser the world's quickest. With 1,234 hp on tap, the Sapphire will rocket to 60 mph from rest in just 1.9 seconds, pass the quarter mile in 9.0 seconds, and keep accelerating to a top speed of 205 mph.

Lucid built a test 'Pursuit' Air for California Highway Patrol. There are no specs, but the giant steelies work shockingly well.

California Highway Patrol is testing an electric Lucid Air sedan as a potential police car, according to an online post. EV company Lucid posted images of its Air police cruiser on X (formerly Twitter), revealing the vehicle was currently being evaluated by California Highway Patrol – though details of exactly which model remain unknown.

California Highway Patrol tests the luxury electric Lucid Air as a potential patrol vehicle, introducing eco-friendly high-performance capabilities to law enforcement.

The California Highway Patrol’s motto is “Safety, Service, and Security,” but you might need to throw recharging into the mix as the law enforcement agency recently tested a modified version of the Lucid Air. It’s dubbed the Lucid Pursuit and it makes for one stylish police cruiser.

Lucid has released some images of its Air saloon in a full police-spec livery having confirmed that it recently participated in California Highway Patrol vehicle testing. Our first thought? Boy does it look good on those black steel wheels.

The California Highway Patrol could be branching out into the world of electric cop cars soon enough. At least, that's according to a recent social media post from Lucid Motors, one that reveals Erik Estrada's favorite law enforcement agency is testing out a Lucid Air cruiser.
