Rivian is celebrating Miami with a wonderfully tacky throwback
Rivian is celebrating the grand opening of their latest space in Miami’s Mary Brickell Village. It’s the company’s second location in the area and it spans roughly 4,000 square feet.
Since store openings are rarely exciting, Rivian decided to up the ante by unveiling a specially designed R1S that “pays tribute to Miami’s vibrant design heritage and its lasting impact on pop culture.” In this case, the model draws inspiration from the 1980’s and embraces an eye-catching color palette worthy of the era.

As you can see, the electric SUV sports a white exterior that is broken up by black accents as well as blue and teal side stripes. They’re joined by pink tow hooks and a teal front bumper accent. These colorful touches can also be found on the wheels, which sport black, pink, white, and teal flourishes.
Rivian didn’t say much about the interior, but it appears to feature Ocean Coast upholstery with pink accents on the headrests. We can also see special floor mats that feature a blue and white pattern as well as a teal border.
The company said the vehicle “captures the spirit of our brand – celebrating creativity and nostalgia in a way that feels both fresh and uniquely Rivian.”
Since the one-off model is based on the R1S Tri-Motor, it features three electric motors producing a combined output of 850 hp (634 kW / 862 PS). This enables the SUV to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than 2.9 seconds and travel up to 371 miles (597 km) on a single charge.
