The Lucid Air Sapphire has been transformed into the world’s fastest armored car by the U.S. Armor Group.
It features lightweight composite materials, ballistic windows, and a reinforced interior to offer high-level security.
The car includes robust cybersecurity measures and a sophisticated threat detection system.
Despite the added armor, it retains high speeds of up to 320km/h and a quick 0-100km/h acceleration time.
The standard Lucid Air Sapphire costs AED 996,450, while the armored version is expected to be over AED 1.8 million.
U.S. Armor Group, a leader in advanced defense solutions, has launched a fully-armored American-made electric sedan, the Lucid Air Sapphire. This reinforced vehicle is based on the top-spec Lucid Air Sapphire and is known as the world's fastest-production armored vehicle. Here are the modifications made to the sedan.

The armored Lucid Air Sapphire still has its sleek, aerodynamic shape but has been significantly modified to boost its protective features.
The car's exterior is reinforced with lightweight composite material, claimed to be ten times stronger and five times lighter than ballistic steel. It also has ballistic windows that can stop a shot from a .44 magnum handgun.

The interior of the armored Lucid Air Sapphire is just as luxurious as the standard version, providing a premium and comfortable experience. However, extra protective features have been added to ensure safety against threats.
The seats and headliner are strengthened with impact-resistant materials to protect passengers from shrapnel and debris. The floor is also reinforced to withstand blasts and mines.
The Lucid Air Sapphire, already featuring standard security, is enhanced in its armored version with advanced cybersecurity. Its internal systems are protected by a robust internet and Wi-Fi security package, making it immune to hacking and unauthorized data access.
Additionally, the car is equipped with a high-tech threat detection system that constantly monitors the surroundings, using information from sources like local law enforcement scanners. This proactive security ensures the safety of the vehicle’s occupants from potential threats.
For those seeking the pinnacle of automotive security, U.S. Armor Group offers a suite of advanced countermeasures to complement the Lucid Air Sapphire. These enhancements include electric shock door handles, concealed gun ports, and sophisticated systems designed to detect and neutralize chemical threats.
The vehicle's communication system includes a one-touch feature for instant contact with U.S. Armor Group's support team. This team made up of experienced professionals from elite military and law enforcement, provides quick and effective assistance in any situation.

These modifications add just 175kg to the Sapphire’s weight, bringing the total to 2,595kg. Given the high level of protection, this weight increase is minimal.
U.S. Armor Group says the armored Air Sapphire can still reach speeds of 320km/h and likely matches the factory’s 0-100km/h acceleration time. The suspension has been carefully adjusted to handle the extra weight without affecting ride quality or handling.
