Shaquille O’Neal has performed many issues in his profession that began in skilled basketball and continues right this moment within the leisure and music industries. He’s amassed a formidable assortment of automobiles, a few of which have been modified to accommodate his 7’11’’ body, and the latest addition is a singular makeover of a Lucid Air.
Shaq’s Air has been changed into a two-door coupe with significantly bigger doorways than earlier than. The work was performed by West Coast Customs (WCC), the store made well-known by the present Pimp My Ride, and it seems like an intensive job contemplating it concerned intensive structural modifications. The former NBA participant didn’t say a lot about his new automobile aside from the truth that he had it personalised to match his Rolls-Royce Cullinan (additionally performed by WCC).
We can’t fairly inform if the form of the roof has been modified—it seems prefer it most likely wasn’t—as a result of the Air really seems good as a two-door. Some of the opposite adjustments made to the automobile embody giant, multi-spoke wheels with self-centering caps that includes the Superman emblem and the alternative of the “Lucid” script on the entrance with “Diesel,” referencing his stage title as a dubstep DJ.
This one-of-a-kind Air isn’t Shaq’s solely customized EV. He owns at the very least two Tesla Cybertrucks with customized carbon fiber widebody kits and large 26-inch Forgiato wheels. Their transformation isn’t as radical because the Lucid Air, because it didn’t contain altering any of the bodywork, however, on the identical time, they appear fairly completely different from an ordinary Cybertruck—they’ll actually get Shaq seen, in contrast to the Air coupe, which is much more understated compared.
Elon Musk even commented on one of many Cybertrucks, saying it was “good” when Shaq posted a photograph of it on X. Will Lucid boss Peter Rawlinson take to X to touch upon Shaq’s two-door Air? Probably not.
Lucid has no plans to make an Air coupe. The private luxurious coupe market has been constantly shrinking over the past decade as extra patrons are transferring to high-riding SUVs as an alternative. Lucid itself simply launched its second mannequin, the Gravity, which unsurprisingly is a three-row SUV as a result of that’s what sells nowadays.
