These days, Rezvani is best known for modifying Jeeps, but the company once produced a supercar, and it wants to again. It says that the second-generation Beast is coming early this year, and it has released another teaser video to get us excited. The video focuses on the small details that will define their latest creation. It features shots of the “Beast” labeled valve covers that will top the mid-mounted V8 engine, which Rezvani says will produce more than 1,000 hp. For the first time, we get to hear the impressive engine idling at the end of the video.
The teaser also shows a body panel with an
American flag above the car’s name, and a look at the Alcantara-covered
steering yoke, which Rezvani says is “uniquely contoured” to provide “the most
natural resting spot for hands and fingers.” The videographer spends plenty of
time on the slats, scoops, and cutouts that will help marshal the air over the
body of the new supercar. Although we’ve only seen a stylized drawing of the
car’s profile so far, it looks like it will have a handsome, though not exactly
groundbreaking, design with big wheel arches and a low roofline.
While no information has been released yet
by Rezvani, details like the design of the steering wheel and the side air
intake appear pretty similar to those of the Chevrolet C8 Corvette, which could
indicate that the new Beast might use the current ‘Vette as its basis. After
all, Rezvani is best known for turning Jeep Wranglers into show-stopping
machines. The body will be made of carbon fiber and although the company does
not say exactly how much the car will weigh, it has revealed that the
combination of its four-digit power and its lightweight materials will allow it
to reach 96 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and to run the quarter-mile in
9.5 seconds.
No official unveiling date has yet been
communicated, but Rezvani says that it will show the car off soon. In the
meantime, if the details above are enough to make you want to buy one (no price
has yet been specified), you can put a US$ 500 refundable deposit down on one
today on Rezvani’s website, if you want to secure one of the 20 examples of the
new Beast.
