After all the Tank, Hercules, and Vengeance high-ride monsters of the past few years, Rezvani is inching closer to the debut of its supercar, the Beast. The model will arrive with over 1,000 horsepower in early 2024, almost a decade after the original Rezvani Beast made its debut.
Rezvani was originally planning to unveil the redesigned Beast in the summer of 2023. Back in May, the company teased the model, showing two sketches of the it and claiming that it would be officially introduced soon.
However, delayed for unknown reasons, the mid-engine supercar will find room in a lineup full of military-inspired SUVs and pickup trucks, with either four or six wheels. The California-based company describes it as being "truly exhilarating" and sporting "lightweight racing technologies."
The nine-second teaser that previews the debut shows a model with a tilted windscreen, fender flares, slim LED lights, plenty of chrome, and the US flag on the front fenders. There is also a small spoiler at the rear.
The restyled model will sport a carbon fiber body and will be powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbo engine capable of more than 1,000 horsepower (1,014 PS). The most powerful version of the 2015 Beast came with 710 horsepower.

The entry-level versions were based on the British Ariel Atom and were set in motion by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 315 horsepower. The top-ranging variants were underpinned by the Lotus Elise and powered by a 2.5-liter Cosworth engine. The list included the Beast Alpha, Alpha X, and Alpha X Blackbird, with the latter being manufactured in a super limited run of only five examples.
It will be, Rezani claims, "one of the most thrilling driving experiences available on the market today," designed to "stir the senses of sound, feel, and sight."
The model will reportedly be based on the C8 Chevrolet Corvette, but the information has not yet been confirmed. All the Rezvani-branded vehicles are built on donor chassis.
People who want to make sure they can get the Beast as soon as possible can reserve the car by placing a $500 refundable deposit. Back in spring, when Rezvani was planning a summer debut for its supercar, the deposit required was $250.
Rezvani will unveil the Beast in early 2024, almost ten years after the original Beast made its debut. "Get ready to unleash your inner Beast!" the Californiar-based performance company says.
Rolling out vehicles with over 1,000 horsepower is what Rezvani has been doing for years. Its’ Jeep Wrangler-based Tank, for sale for $295,000, comes with 1,000 horsepower, generated by a Dodge Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Meanwhile, the 6x6 version, which is named Hercules, got 1,300 horsepower out of a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon V8. The Hercules 6x6 starts at $395,000.
