Rivian simply opened up its second retail location in Miami, Florida, information that in any other case would not be that noteworthy. Nonetheless, to have fun the event, the automaker commissioned a particular 2026 R1S SUV Tri-Motor, designed as a nod in the direction of Miami tradition, particularly from the Eighties. This one-of-a-kind R1S options teal and pink accents, which stand out over the white paint. Rivian says the colourful theme matches Miami’s Artwork Deco legacy.
This new Rivian Area is positioned within the Mary Brickell Village, and it spans 4,000 sq. toes. The customized R1S might be displayed there, and won’t be bought to the general public, in contrast to the one at Pebble Seaside. That customized R1S bought for $175,000 at public sale, elevating cash for Mr. Beast’s #TeamWater clear water initiative.
The Good Rivian For Miami
This tradition creation seems to start out off fairly usually, as an R1S Tri-Motor completed in Glacier White. It has the $1,000 22-inch Vary wheels with aero covers, which have been painted white with pink and teal accents. On the entrance, the bumper is painted in an identical teal with pink tow hooks so as to add a pop of accent expression. There’s additionally a teal decal strip stretching down the aspect, and the yellow font accents on the Rivian textual content are swapped for pink. Rivian did not embody any photographs of the rear, so we assume it is largely inventory.
We do not have many angles exhibiting the inside, however it seems to be Rivian’s Ocean Coast + Driftwood mixture. Rivian added a couple of pink accents as particular touches, in addition to some customized flooring mats with teal borders. We love Rivian’s dedication to the ’80s with this Miami automotive, to not point out earlier odes to the decade of extra with Halloween costumes from Knight Rider and Again to the Future.
The place Is Rivian’s Customization Division?
That is the second time this yr that Rivian has proven off its skill to create a customized automobile. The aforementioned R1S Pebble Seaside Version featured a one-of-one paint job and a few customized inside touches. Rivian has not confirmed plans to open its personal customization division, however says it might have “bigger ambitions for its prospects.” Given the corporate’s obvious curiosity (and expertise) for some catchy one-offs, it looks like a no brainer to supply some form of in-house bespoke operation.
When requested if the Miami-inspired R1S can be bought, Rivian gave DrivingOnRoad the next assertion: “The automobile was designed to have fun our newest house opening in Miami. We’re all about experimenting and this automobile is a superb instance of Rivian’s inventive spirit.”
We might like to see Rivian supply one thing alongside the strains of BMW Particular person, Porsche Paint to Pattern, or Mercedes-Benz Manufaktur. Clients may pay additional to have Rivian paint their automotive a particular shade, give it a singular inside shade, or add particular accents. These packages have been extremely worthwhile for the German producers, however they do add manufacturing complexity, one thing Rivian might not be prepared for simply because it’s making an attempt to get the R2 into manufacturing.
