Lucid unveiled The Seven Suite at Berlin’s Tempodrom, combining live orchestral music and seven Lucid Gravity SUVs ahead of Berlinale 2026.

On February 11, 2026, one day before the official opening of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival and the launch of the European Film Market, Lucid Group staged an unusual artistic performance at Berlin’s Tempodrom titled The Seven Suite. The event moved the conversation about electric vehicles beyond conventional presentations and test drives into the realms of music, architecture, and cinema.

Tempodrom, located near Potsdamer Platz, is one of Berlin’s most recognizable cultural venues. Opened in 2001 and defined by its distinctive tent-like roof structure, the main arena accommodates up to 3,500 guests. Inside this space, Lucid arranged seven Lucid Gravity SUVs in a circle. At the center stood a live ensemble performing a seven-part composition.

The score was created and conducted by French-American composer Uèle Lamore, a Berklee College of Music graduate and founder of the independent orchestra Orage. Known for her orchestral work and involvement in European film projects, including productions presented in Cannes, Lamore blended classical structure with contemporary electronic textures, turning the vehicles into elements of a spatial composition.

One of the most striking elements of the installation was the use of the Lucid Gravity’s front trunks. Fourteen figures from European cinema, including Diane Kruger, Emilia Schüle, Jannis Niewöhner, and Edin Hasanovic, were seated inside the vehicles’ frunks. A technical feature typical of electric vehicles was transformed into a stage, making the guests themselves part of the performance.

More than 300 guests from media, culture, art, and business observed the performance from multiple perspectives within the hall. The concept explored perception — how sound, light, and movement shape an emotional response to technology.

The timing was deliberate. Berlinale 2026 opened on February 12, with the European Film Market officially beginning its program the same week. As Berlin became a focal point of the global film industry, Lucid positioned its performance as a cultural statement about motion — both physical and creative.

At the center of the evening stood the Lucid Gravity, a full-size electric SUV designed to accommodate up to seven passengers. Published specifications indicate output ranging from 418 to 617 kW (568–839 PS) and a WLTP driving range between 511 and 748 kilometers, with energy consumption rated at 18.2–19.4 kWh/100 km. The Grand Touring version is equipped with a 123 kWh battery and a 926-volt architecture enabling DC fast charging up to 400 kW. The front trunk offers a capacity of 8.1 cubic feet.

The Gravity has already entered the European market, with the Grand Touring version available to order and deliveries in Germany expected in early 2026. The model previously made its European debut at IAA Mobility in Munich, underscoring Lucid’s broader expansion strategy across the region.

Founded in 2007 under the name Atieva and now publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker LCID, Lucid manufactures its vehicles in Arizona and at its AMP-2 facility in Saudi Arabia, the company’s first international production site.

Rather than presenting a conventional product showcase, The Seven Suite functioned as a cultural gesture. By embedding the vehicle within a live artistic framework, Lucid suggested that advanced technology can also operate as part of a broader emotional and spatial narrative — a quiet but deliberate entry into Europe’s contemporary cultural dialogue.
