The Gravity GT-S adds a blue-accented performance trim to Lucid's three-row SUV: 1,070 horsepower, a 3.1-second 0-60 mph time, and a 926-volt platform that charges at up to 400 kW. Orders are open now starting at $125,900.

Lucid has officially unveiled the Gravity GT-S, a new performance trim of its three-row Gravity SUV, and the headline number is hard to miss: 1,070 horsepower, which Lucid says makes it the most powerful three-row SUV sold in America. Orders are open now, with pricing starting at $125,900 before destination, taxes, and options.
The GT-S keeps the Gravity's overall shape, cargo capacity, and technology platform, but raises output from the standard dual-motor layout rather than adding motors. Lucid's Dynamic Handling Package comes standard, adding independent rear-wheel steering and an adaptive three-chamber air suspension that lowers the vehicle at speed. Lucid is leaning into a distinct look for the trim, too: blue brake calipers, a blue Lucid Bear logo on the front right fender, blue seatbelts, blue piping across the first and second rows, and blue stitching on the steering wheel and armrests. The GT-S is being sold exclusively in the United States.
The GT-S's most direct competitor is the Rivian R1S Quad, which uses four motors — one per wheel — versus the Gravity's two. That difference cuts both ways. The Lucid has more raw horsepower, 1,070 to Rivian's 1,025, but the R1S Quad is quicker to 60 mph, at a claimed 2.6 seconds against the Gravity's 3.1, because independent torque control at each wheel translates power into acceleration more efficiently than a two-motor system can. Where the Gravity pulls ahead is charging: its 926-volt architecture supports up to 400 kW of DC fast charging, roughly double the R1S Quad's 220 kW peak on Rivian's lower-voltage system.
| Spec | Lucid Gravity GT-S | Rivian R1S Quad |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 1,070 hp | 1,025 hp |
| 0-60 mph | 3.1 sec | 2.6 sec (claimed) |
| Motors | 2 (dual-motor) | 4 (one per wheel) |
| Peak DC charging | 400 kW | 220 kW |
| Seating | 7 | 7 |
The GT-S slots in above the existing Gravity Touring and Grand Touring trims as the performance flagship, similar to how the Air Sapphire tops Lucid's sedan lineup. It's aimed squarely at buyers cross-shopping the Rivian R1S Quad and other high-output three-row electric SUVs, betting that a horsepower edge and dramatically faster charging will outweigh giving up half a second in the 0-60 sprint.
The bottom line: The Gravity GT-S is a straightforward, credible performance flagship rather than a moonshot — more power than any three-row rival, real charging-speed advantages over its closest competitor, and the same seven-seat practicality as the rest of the Gravity lineup. It won't out-accelerate the Rivian R1S Quad, but for buyers who charge more than they drag race, the numbers make a solid case.
Tesla is reportedly planning to demo the SpaceX-thruster-equipped Roadster this month at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas test site — remotely operated, with nobody inside. After nearly nine years and at least eight missed deadlines, here's what's actually confirmed and what still isn't.
Porsche's new E-Shift option gives the all-electric Taycan simulated gear changes, shift jerks, a 7,500 rpm virtual redline, and paddle shifters — built entirely in software, and cleverly timed around the one real mechanical gear the Taycan already has.
Jaguar has revealed the first official photos of the Type 01's cabin ahead of its full October debut: a four-seat layout split by a 3.2-meter brass spine, almost no physical buttons, and a rear-view mirror replaced by a digital screen. The exterior is still camouflaged — including at today's Pebble Beach appearance.
