NBA legend and entrepreneur Shaquille O'Neal has reportedly been involved in an accident while operating his rare, custom-built two-door Lucid Air. The vehicle, a bespoke engineering project that stands as the only two-door variant of the luxury electric sedan in existence, was delivered to the basketball icon earlier in 2024. The modification required significant structural alterations to the standard Lucid Air chassis to accommodate the elongated doors and redesigned aesthetic.
According to Lucid Motors, the company prides itself on delivering high-performance electric vehicles that combine luxury with cutting-edge engineering. While the automaker has showcased specialized versions of its flagship sedan to highlight the versatility of its platform, O'Nealβs vehicle represented a unique commission. Reports indicate that the luxury EV sustained visible damage during the incident, though details regarding the circumstances or the severity of the repairs required remain unconfirmed.
Automotive enthusiasts have closely followed O'Nealβs growing collection of modified electric vehicles, noting his preference for custom specifications that cater to his physical stature and personal style. The two-door Lucid Air was widely publicized as a flagship demonstration of how the California-based EV manufacturer can push the boundaries of traditional automotive design. Despite the recent setback, the vehicle remains a singular achievement in custom luxury automotive production.
