Rezvani Motors is a California-based American company specializing in the design and manufacture of high-performance sports cars, headquartered in Irvine, California. Established in 2013 by Iranian-American designer Ferris Rezvani, who also contributed to the design of the Vencer Sarthe, the company's premier model is the Rezvani Beast.
History
Rezvani Motors maintains a 50,000-square-foot manufacturing facility located in Santa Ana, California. In May 2015, the company disclosed specifications and images of the Rezvani Beast, officially unveiling the production model in June 2015. Buyers were given an estimated production period ranging from 8 to 12 weeks. The Beast is crafted with a performance-oriented design aimed at a select group of sports car aficionados.
Among the early purchasers was musician Chris Brown, who acquired the very first Rezvani Beast in 2015 for $200,000 and featured it prominently in his "Zero" music video. Additionally, singer Enrique Iglesias highlighted the Rezvani Beast Alpha in his "El Baño" music video.
In November 2017, Rezvani broadened its lineup by introducing the Tank, an extreme utility vehicle styled after military SUVs but engineered for civilian use. This model is powered by a 6.4L V8 Dodge Hemi engine paired with on-demand four-wheel drive. Optional features include ballistic armor, bomb-resistant protection, FOX Racing-enhanced suspension, as well as sophisticated security elements such as thermal night vision and electrified door handles. Production takes place at Rezvani’s Irvine facility.
The Tank has attracted notable owners such as Jamie Foxx, Rampage Jackson, and Chris Brown, underscoring its appeal to celebrities interested in distinctive armored SUVs.
Beast
The Rezvani Beast debuted in June 2014, built upon the Ariel Atom chassis and featuring a carbon fiber body designed for lightweight performance. Although American-made, it incorporates several components sourced from British-built Ariel Atom vehicles. The car is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive configuration. It offers a removable windshield and weighs approximately 1,650 pounds.
Manufacturing involves advanced custom-fit 3D printing and CNC milling processes, requiring around 1,500 hours of labor. CNC routing is utilized to generate a three-dimensional model that serves as a mold for carbon fiber body panels. Additional parts such as lighting fixtures and mirrors are also produced using 3D printing technology.
Beast X
The Beast X represents an upgraded version of the original Beast introduced by Rezvani Motors. This street-legal sports car weighs 1,850 lbs and delivers an output of 700 horsepower from its 2.4-liter engine equipped with Borg Warner turbochargers. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph within 2.5 seconds. Production is strictly limited to five units, each priced near $325,000.
Beast Alpha
In November 2016, Rezvani launched the Beast Alpha featuring unique patented "Sidewinder doors," along with amenities such as a hardtop roof, power-operated windows and locks, airbags, and climate control systems. This model caters to buyers seeking a blend of luxury, inventive design, and high performance.
Beast Alpha X
Revealed in February 2018, the Beast Alpha X "Blackbird" stands as Rezvani's most track-focused variant. Drawing inspiration from the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, it weighs 2,150 lbs and is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine producing 700 horsepower. It achieves a sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
Tank
Introduced in November 2017, the Rezvani Tank is a utility vehicle drawing inspiration from military designs. The 2020 model offers two engine choices: a 500-horsepower 6.4L SRT HEMI V8 and a supercharged 6.2L V8 from the Dodge Demon producing 1,000 horsepower. It is equipped with enhanced FOX suspension to improve its off-road performance.
The Tank has been featured in movies such as Men in Black: International and has attracted endorsements from celebrities like Jamie Foxx.
The Military Edition comes equipped with bulletproof glass and armored body panels as standard, along with explosive blast protection underneath, smoke screen systems, run-flat tires, and thermal night vision capabilities. These features position it as a top-tier armored vehicle designed for clients requiring both superior security and high performance.
Rezvani Hercules
Revealed online on November 10, 2020, the Rezvani Hercules is a six-wheel-drive pickup truck built on the Jeep Gladiator platform. Its engine lineup includes a 3.6L V6, a 3.0L turbocharged diesel, as well as robust V8 options such as a supercharged 6.2L and a bespoke 7.0L supercharged V8 delivering up to 1,300 horsepower.
Rezvani Vengeance
Debuting in 2022, the Rezvani Vengeance is a full-size SUV designed for off-road use that can be equipped with a Military Package featuring armored panels and bullet-resistant glass. Available powertrains include a 420-horsepower 6.2L V8 gasoline engine, a 277-horsepower 3.0L inline-six diesel, and supercharged 6.2L V8 variants generating either 590 or 810 horsepower.
