Lucid's luxury EV recently got the Shaq treatment. The Lucid Air was converted to a model with two sliding doors so Shaq could fit inside. Check out the custom electric car below.
Standing at 7 feet 1 inch tall, Shaq is taller than most of us. It's not easy to find a car to fit into if you are. Well, not comfortably, at least.
You may remember the Buick LaCrosse ad from 2012, where it looked like the car was built around Shaq because he looked so big.
This man is from the NBA and is now a DJ known as DJ Diesel. To fit a human, Shaq needed more than your average car, so he turned to the Lucid Air. However, an electric luxury sedan wouldn't cut it as a four-door model, so Shaq converted the Lucid Air into a two-door coupe.
Shaq shared the new car on his Instagram on Monday with the caption, “When you're 7″1”, you have to do things your way.
The conversion was done by West Coast Customs, known for its custom designs for celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Justin Bieber. The company even built a custom Range Rover “Stormer” for a member of the Dubai royal family.
Recently, you may have heard about Mark Zuckerberg's Porsche Cayenne turned mini-van. That was also the design of West Coast Customs.
Although sales have been slower than Lucid had planned, demand is starting to pick up. The EV maker delivered more than 7,100 vehicles in the first six months of 2024, up from 6,000 total deliveries last year.
Maybe getting the Shaq treatment will help get the word out. Lucid recently launched a second EV, the Gravity SUV, as it looks to expand the range.
