Saudi Arabia's Lucid Air sets world record with 1,205km drive on a single charge
The record-breaking drive was completed last weekend by the Lucid Air Grand Touring, travelling from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Munich, Germany, and included alpine roads, highways, and secondary roads.
The journey beat the previous world record of 1,045km, set in June 2025, by a margin of 160 kilometres.
Saudi-backed Lucid Air sets EV world record
Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer at Lucid, said: 'This range record represents a significant milestone – it's yet another clear demonstration of the technological edge that defines Lucid.
'Our Lucid products combine world class vehicle efficiency with the most advanced drive units, ultra-high voltage architecture, and battery management technology available today, which lets a Lucid travel further with less energy than any other vehicles.'
At the core of the Lucid Air Grand Touring's success is its ultra-efficient electric powertrain, boasting:
WLTP range of 960km
Energy efficiency of 13.5 kWh/100km
831 PS and a top speed of 270 kmph
Ultra-fast charging: 400km added in just 16 minutes
This latest achievement marks the second successful Guinness World Record involving Lucid and Umit Sabanci, a London-based entrepreneur with a passion for EV endurance challenges.
In 2024, Sabanci set the record for most countries visited on a single charge — crossing nine nations in a Lucid Air Grand Touring.
'When I completed the nine-country journey in 2024, it was just the beginning,' said Sabanci.
'This new achievement proves that electric mobility isn't just the future — it's already redefining what's possible today.'

Belgian GP: Lando Norris secures pole after Max Verstappen takes sprint-race honours
It will be an all-McLaren front row in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix after Lando Norris secured pole position ahead of teammate and championship leader Oscar Piastri. British driver Norris is looking for a hat-trick of wins – having been victorious in the previous two races at Silverstone, in front of his home fans, and Austria – and goes into Sunday's GP nine points behind Piastri in the drivers' standings. And Norris would pip Piastri by just 0.085 seconds at Spa-Francorchamps. Charles Leclerc's Ferrari is on the second row next to Max Verstappen's Red Bull after qualifying on Saturday, one position clear of Williams' Alex Albon, with George Russell sixth for Mercedes. Norris qualified six tenths behind Piastri in Friday's qualifying but insisted: 'I was confident after yesterday – 0.3 secs is just slipstream and not being first out of the pit lane. It was a decent lap, so I'm happy.' Rain is forecast for Sunday's 44-lap race, and Norris continued: 'I prefer it to stay dry. But I don't mind if it is wet, or dry, or somewhere in the middle. I just hope it is an exciting race.' Piastri admitted the day had been 'a bit disappointing' after the Australian had been bested by Norris again. 'The second lap was coming together really well but just made a little mistake into 14 and lost a lot of time,' he said. 'The car was really good but it's fine margins out there. 'We're a good teammate pairing, we learn a lot from each other. Felt like I did OK but didn't quite execute when it matters.' Lewis Hamilton's weekend took another nightmare twist after he qualified only 16th. The seven-time world champion, who started 18th and finished 15th in the sprint race, was eliminated in Q1 for Sunday's main event after his best lap was chalked off by the stewards. The Briton thought he had done enough to haul his Ferrari into the next phase of qualifying when he posted the seventh best time. But moments later, his lap was deleted after he was adjudged to have run all four wheels of his Ferrari off the circuit. That dropped him way down the order. Is everything OK?' Hamilton asked on the radio. 'Track limits,' replied Hamilton's race engineer, Ricardo Adami. 'Am I out?' Hamilton replied. 'Lap time is deleted, P16,' came the response. There was no response from the 40-year-old who is left to reflect on another sobering result of his difficult start to life at Ferrari, calling his own performance 'very poor'. Hamilton, who spun in qualifying for the sprint, enters Sunday's race without a podium for Ferrari – the deepest he has gone into a season in his career without a top-three finish. 'I was the same as I was for the rest of the weekend, we made some changes and the car didn't feel terrible,: said Hamilton. 'It was tough for us we had to even put our second set [of tyres] on just to get through Q1 so not great. 'From my side I made a mistake so I've got to look internal and I've got to apologise to my team because that is just unacceptable to be out in both Q1's. It's a very poor performance for myself.' Earlier, Verstappen had welcomed new Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies to the race team by winning the sprint race in style after starting from second on the grid. He held off the challenge of Piastri and Norris to earn Meckies an early success after replacing the sacked Christian Horner as team principal. 'Max was brilliant and all the guys did a great job,' said the former boss of Red Bull's 'B' team Racing Bulls. 'He was under massive pressure and he made almost no mistakes and the team extracted everything from the car and the tyres.'

Saudi Arabia announces new property ownership law
Saudi Arabia has published the full details of its property ownership law for non-Saudis in the official gazette Umm Al-Qura on Friday, following Cabinet approval earlier this month. The law will take effect 180 days from publication and replaces previous foreign property ownership legislation issued under Royal Decree No. M/15 in 2000, the Saudi Gazette reported. The legislation grants non-Saudis — including individuals, companies, and non-profit entities — the right to own property or obtain other real rights over real estate within designated geographic zones to be determined by the Cabinet. Non-Saudis can own property in Saudi Arabia under new law published in official gazette These rights include usufruct (beneficial use), leaseholds, and other real estate interests, but will be subject to controls and restrictions based on location, property type, and usage. Ownership remains prohibited in certain locations and regions, particularly in Makkah and Madinah, except under conditions for individual Muslim owners. The law states that all real estate rights that were legally established for non-Saudis prior to the regulation taking effect will be preserved. The Council of Ministers — upon a proposal by the Real Estate General Authority and with the approval of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs — will define the allowable zones for foreign ownership and set upper limits on ownership percentages and durations for usufruct rights. Foreign individuals legally residing in Saudi Arabia may own one residential property outside restricted areas for personal housing purposes. This provision does not apply to Makkah and Madinah. The regulation includes provisions for corporate ownership. Non-listed companies with foreign shareholders, as well as investment funds and licensed special-purpose entities, will be permitted to acquire real estate throughout the Kingdom, including in Makkah and Madinah, provided the ownership supports operational needs or employee housing. Listed companies and investment vehicles may also acquire property in line with Saudi financial market regulations. Diplomatic missions and international organisations can own premises for official use and residence of their representatives, subject to Foreign Ministry approval and reciprocity conditions. Non-Saudi entities must register with the competent authority before acquiring property. Ownership or real rights become valid only after formal registration in the national real estate registry. The law introduces a real estate transfer fee of up to 5 per cent for transactions involving non-Saudis. Sanctions for violations include fines up to SAR10 million and, in cases such as falsified information, the forced sale of the property with proceeds remitted to the state after deductions. A committee under the Real Estate General Authority will be formed to investigate violations and impose penalties. Decisions of this committee can be appealed to the administrative courts within 60 days. The law repeals a prior rule that prohibited GCC citizens from owning property in Makkah and Madinah, standardising rules for all non-Saudi entities under a single framework. The executive regulations, which will detail implementation mechanisms and specify geographic boundaries and conditions, are expected to be issued within six months.

Foreigners owning property in Saudi: The rules you need to know
Image: Getty Images/ For illustrative purposes Saudi Arabia has officially published the full text of a new law regulating real estate ownership by non-Saudis, following cabinet approval earlier this month. The legislation, released in the Umm Al Qura official gazette on Friday, July 25, will come into effect 180 days from publication and marks a significant shift in the country's real estate and investment policy, Read- The new law grants non-Saudis, including individuals, corporations, and non-profit organisations, the right to own property or obtain other real rights within designated zones to be defined by the Council of Ministers. These rights include usufruct (beneficial use), leaseholds, and other interests, but will be subject to geographic and usage-based restrictions. Importantly, all legal property rights held by non-Saudis prior to the law's enactment will remain protected. Key restrictions remain Despite the liberalization, the law maintains a firm stance on property ownership in the holy cities. Ownership remains prohibited in Makkah and Madinah, except under specific conditions for individual Muslim owners. Foreign individuals legally residing in the country may own a single residential property outside restricted zones for personal housing purposes. A central provision mandates that the Council of Ministers, based on recommendations from the Real Estate General Authority and with approval from the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, will designate the permissible zones for foreign ownership. These zones will include limits on ownership percentages and the duration of usufruct rights. Foreign-owned non-listed companies, licensed investment funds, and special-purpose entities may acquire real estate throughout the Kingdom, including in Makkah and Madinah, provided the ownership is for operational needs or employee housing. Listed companies and investment vehicles are permitted to own property in line with Saudi financial regulations. Diplomatic missions and international organisations will also be allowed to own property for official use, subject to Foreign Ministry approval and reciprocity. Mandatory registration and oversight Non-Saudi entities must register with the relevant authorities prior to acquiring real estate. Legal ownership or rights will only be recognised following registration in the national real estate registry. To enforce compliance, the law introduces a real estate transfer fee of up to 5 per cent for transactions involving non-Saudis. Violations could incur fines of up to SAR10m, with penalties including forced sales in severe cases such as the use of falsified documents. Proceeds from such sales will be transferred to the state after necessary deductions. A committee under the Real Estate General Authority will be established to monitor violations and impose sanctions. Affected parties can appeal committee decisions to the administrative courts within 60 days. Repeal of previous rules for GCC citizens The new law also revokes a previous ban on real estate ownership by Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) citizens in Makkah and Madinah, thereby aligning the rules for all non-Saudi individuals and entities under a single legal framework. Executive regulations, including geographic boundaries and implementation procedures, are expected to be issued within six months. The law replaces the previous foreign ownership legislation issued under Royal Decree No. M/15 in 2000.
