Lucid Diecast in 1:64: The American EV Luxury Brand

Lucid has a dedicated following among 1:64 collectors, and diecast is often the most affordable way to own the brand’s greatest designs. This guide covers the story, the Hot Wheels and Matchbox castings worth hunting, and what South African collectors should expect to pay.

The Lucid story

Lucid Motors is California’s answer to Tesla: the Air sedan offers over 800km of range and up to 1,234 horsepower in Sapphire trim, while the Gravity SUV extends the formula. As an EV tech flagship, it has become the luxury benchmark the industry chases.

Lucid in 1:64

Lucid is at the exciting ‘first casting’ stage for diecast collectors. Hot Wheels’ EV focus — seen in our {IL(‘2026/07/10/ev-diecast-collecting-trend-2026′,’EV diecast trend feature’)} and the {IL(‘hot-wheels-hw-ev-2026′,’HW EV series’)} — makes an official Lucid Air a matter of time, and first-release castings of brands like this have a strong track record of appreciating. Until then, the Air’s unmistakable light-blade design is already appearing in resin and premium diecast circles.

Collecting Lucid diecast in South Africa

Licensed Lucid castings appear across the mainline most years, so patience at the pegs usually pays off — but specific models and recolours can be worth buying second-hand once their case wave sells through. Browse our used diecast stock for current stock, compare prices on the SA Diecast Price Index, and grade every purchase with our condition grading guide. The full model-by-model history lives on the Hot Wheels Wiki, with market values on hobbyDB and official releases listed at official Hot Wheels site.
