Beastly American supercar is as strong as it is absurd

Rezvani is a small American manufacturer that has a preference for absurd models. The Beast – which is now a completely new generation – was also the very first model of the company based in the American state of California. In addition to the Beast, Rezvani also has the Jeep Gladiator-based and 1,300 hp Hercules 6×6, the Cadillac Escalade-based Vengeance and the Jeep Wrangler-based Tank and Tank X. The Beast ultimately came in different versions. He was there as Beast, as Beast Alpha, Beast X, Beast Alpha X and as Beast Alpha X Blackbird. All versions except the latter shared their base with the Ariel Atom; the Blackbird variant was modeled on the Lotus Elise. There is now a completely new generation of the Beast. That is not an Atom or Elise, but secretly a Chevrolet Corvette C8. Indeed, the mid-engine model.

Although you can still see bits of Corvette in the roofline, among other things, the Rezvani Beast’s body is almost entirely its own. The body made of carbon fiber covers, among other things, a mighty V8. It has – just like the eight-cylinder in the ‘Vette Stingray and E-Ray – a swept volume of 6.2 liters. Thanks to the arrival of two gigantic turbos, the V8 delivers 1,000 hp to the rear wheels. This should allow the Beast to reach a speed of 97 km/h (60 mph) from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds. The vehicle weight is a fairly modest 1,352 hp.

Isn’t 1,000 hp crazy enough? Then just wait until you read what’s included in the 007 option package that Rezvani has devised for the Beast. Anyone who orders the 007 package will have the option to use the Beast to create a smoke screen and spray pepper spray. However, there is more madness. For example, the package brings thermal night vision goggles to the Beast, door handles that you can electrify, protection against EMP systems that can paralyze electronics, sirens, a system that can detect explosives, an intercom, lights to blind people, and powerful magnets. that can keep the doors closed and even gas masks. The package also includes run flat tires and, in addition to a first aid kit, a package with which you can prevent hypothermia.

Completely crazy? Rezvani doesn’t think so. Anyone who selects the optional Bullet Proof Package will also receive bullet-resistant glass and bullet-resistant sheet metal. We are only missing things like rocket launchers, machine guns and an air fryer to prepare your deep-frying delight on the go. The Rezvani Beast costs at least €452,000 and only twenty copies will be produced.
