Shaq is the only person in the world with a two-door Lucid Air.
He didn’t do it out of vanity; he did it out of necessity.
Mainly because he simply wouldn’t fit in the ‘normal’ Lucid Air.
And the name of the company that modified the car for him might ring a bell.

The reason why Shaq turned his Lucid Air into a coupe
The Lucid Air isn’t a small car per se, but everything is small if you’re Shaq.
He is seven-foot-one (2.16 meters), and he’s got arms that are longer than some people’s legs, so he struggles to fit in most vehicles.
That’s why the NBA star turned to West Coast Customs, the same tuning firm people might be familiar with because of Pimp My Ride.
He asked them if they could convert the four-door Lucid Air into a two-door coupe, which they were happy to do.
West Coast Customs knows how to create unique and seemingly impossible vehicles.
We’re talking about the same company that also created will.i.am’s one-off Mercedes and turned Mark Zuckerberg’s Porsche into a Cayenne Van.
Apart from the four-door to two-door conversion, West Coast Customs also changed the ‘Lucid’ logo at the front and replaced it with ‘Diesel’, one of Shaq’s nicknames.

Nearly every car Shaquille O’Neal owns is like this
Shaquille O’Neal owns around 40 cars, and most of these vehicles are customized to fit him in them.
With a few exceptions (for example, the Cybertruck he briefly owned), the vast majority of cars he owns are modified and stretched to accommodate his incredibly long legs.
Some are even a bit – dare we say – controversial.
He also famously made a Ferrari 360 a few inches longer so he could drive it.
Ferrari was probably not very happy about that.
