Rezvani Motors is an American manufacturer of high-performance sports cars and military-style off-road vehicles, founded in 2014 by Iranian-American entrepreneur Ferris Rezvani in Irvine, California. Drawing on his experience designing the Dutch supercar Vencer Sarthe and working with prestigious brands like Aston Martin and Ferrari, Rezvani infused the brand with a unique design heritage. The company’s logo features wings, symbolizing freedom, and a steering wheel, representing passion and dedication to driving.
Initially focused on track-level high-performance supercars with the launch of its first model, the Beast, in 2014, Rezvani later pivoted toward a "Doomsday War Machine" aesthetic. This shift resulted iconic models such as the Tank, a bulletproof armored SUV based on the Jeep Wrangler; the Hercules, a six-wheeled pickup truck; and the Knight, an ultra-high-performance SUV derived from the Lamborghini Urus. Characterized by lightweight handcrafted construction, extreme power, and military-grade protection, Rezvani occupies a distinct niche in the US personalized custom vehicle market.
In 2014, Rezvani was founded in Irvine, California, and launched its first supercar, the Beast. Initially, two versions were released based on the Ariel Atom: Beast 300 and Beast 500. In 2015, the brand's first mass-produced supercar, the Beast, officially went on the market. Some versions used Honda K-series engines, gaining attention in the supercar community thanks to lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and a high power-to-weight ratio. Artist Chris Brown purchased the first Beast for $200,000.
In 2017, Rezvani launched the Tank series, marking the beginning of the brand's iconic transformation. Tank was developed based on the Jeep Wrangler four-door platform, blending supercar power with military-grade armored protection, creating a new "Doomsday War Machine" niche market. In 2019, the Tank series completed its first upgrade, continuing the technology route based on the Wrangler and expanding powertrain options.
From 2020 to 2025, the brand rapidly expanded its product line: launched the six-wheeled pickup Hercules 6x6, equipped with a Dodge Demon engine, outputting over 1300 horsepower; launched the bulletproof luxury SUVs Rezvani Vengeance and Arsenal based on the Cadillac Escalade (both limited to 100 units, starting from $225,000); in February 2024, launched the new Beast (based on Corvette C8), outputting 1000 horsepower, 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.5 seconds, limited to 20 units; in 2025, launched the Knight based on the Lamborghini Urus (limited to 100 units), equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, outputting about 800 horsepower.
In January 2026, the third-generation Tank, after seven years of its first comprehensive redesign, officially debuted. It comes standard with a thousand horsepower supercharged V8 (optional after), with a starting price of $175,000. Rezvani completed its thorough transformation from a "niche supercar workshop" to a "Doomsday War Machine authority".
Rezvani adopts a "Limited + High Customization" core model, with the product line divided into four major series.
Beast Series: The brand's supercar representative. The first generation was based on the Ariel Atom, later switching to the Corvette C8 mid-engine architecture. Early first-gen Beast models were equipped with 2.0L or 2.4L inline-four turbocharged engines, later gradually upgraded to V8. The 2024 Beast is equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, producing 1000 horsepower, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.5 seconds, limited to 20 units.
Tank Series: The brand's core product. A military-style SUV developed based on the Jeep Wrangler four-door platform, debuting in 2017, second generation in 2019, third generation in 2026 completing a seven-year comprehensive redesign. The third-generation Tank body panels were completely redesigned, equipped with 37-inch tires and FOX off-road shock absorbers, offering optional military-grade equipment such as bulletproof glass, EMP protection, thermal night vision, smoke systems, and electric door handles.
Hercules 6x6 Series: A six-wheeled giant pickup, modified based on the Wrangler/Gladiator platform, optional upgrade for over 1300 horsepower Dodge Demon V8, one of the largest in size and highest output models of the brand.
Luxury Armor Series: Vengeance (2020) and Arsenal (2024) based on the Cadillac Escalade, each limited to 100 units, retaining Cadillac luxury interior, standard 6-seat layout and OLED display; Knight (2025) based on the Lamborghini Urus, limited to 100 units, equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, outputting about 800 horsepower.
Rezvani positions itself as an extremely rare custom brand with extremely low annual production and limited public data. Transaction data from the used car market in the past five years shows: Tank average price is about $150,000, total transaction amount about $1.1 million, highest single auction price $247,500; Hercules 6x6 used asking price once reached $366,000; Beast average price is about $111,000. Third-generation Tank starting price $175,000, full armor upgrade (including Level B6 ballistic armor, night vision system, explosion-proof chassis, etc.) requires an additional payment of about $85,000, optional thousand-horsepower V8 adds another $85,000, fully equipped version landing price can easily exceed $400,000.
Knight limited to 100 units, Arsenal limited to 100 units, 2024 Beast only 20 units. The market strategy focuses on creating scarcity to enhance brand value. All brand models are aimed at high-net-worth clients in Europe, America, and the Middle East, and have not yet entered the Chinese market.
Multi-Level Powertrain: Tank offers six powertrain options — entry-level uses the same 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 as the Wrangler (285 horsepower), mid-level optional 6.4-liter SRT V8 (500 horsepower), 707 horsepower supercharged V8, top-level 6.2-liter "Demon" supercharged V8 outputting up to 1000 horsepower, with an extra option fee of $85,000. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is also available. The Beast series is equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine based on the Corvette C8 (1000 horsepower).
Jeep Wrangler High-Strength Chassis: Tank and Hercules both use the Wrangler ladder-frame chassis architecture, standard 4-inch suspension lift and 37-inch tires, optional 6-inch lift and 40-inch tires. The third-generation Tank is equipped with FOX professional off-road shock absorbers, ensuring stability and passability under extreme terrain conditions.
Military-Grade Armor Protection: Provides multi-level protection schemes — Basic Safety Package ($42,000): Bulletproof glass, night vision, smoke system, etc.; Armor Package ($85,000): Explosion-proof floor and bulletproof armor; Lightweight B6 Armor Package ($145,000): Reduces weight by 50%, capable of resisting assault rifle attacks. Some models also provide special equipment such as EMP pulse protection, electric shock door handles, and gas masks.
Extreme Lightweight Engineering: First-gen Beast extensively used carbon fiber body shells to control weight; B6 armor package uses lightweight composite armor to reduce unsprung load, balancing protection performance and driving feel.
All Rezvani manufacturing is completed at its Irvine, California base. Overseas business covers the globe through limited complete vehicle exports, with key markets including the Middle East, Europe, Australia, and other wealthy regions. The Middle East market has strong demand for high-end armored models like Knight and Arsenal; Arsenal military packages and B6 armor upgrades are particularly popular in this region. Both Knight and Arsenal are limited to 100 units each for overseas markets. As of 2026, Rezvani has not established official sales or service systems in the Chinese market, nor does it conduct localized production locally.
The third-generation Tank completed its first comprehensive redesign in seven years in January 2026, marking that the brand has entered a more mature stage of design and technical iteration. In the future, Rezvani will continue to provide more personalized customization options on the Tank and Hercules platforms, enriching the gradient of armor protection, powertrain, and off-road accessory configurations.
In the Luxury Armor Series, the three routes Vengeance, Arsenal, and Knight have all established limited production models, potentially expanding to more luxury brand platforms in the future. The brand will adhere to the "Extreme Limited + Top Customization" route, further strengthening brand awareness in the "Doomsday War Machine" niche market.
The direction of pure electric and electrification is not yet clear; currently, only plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options are provided in the Tank series. If demand for high-performance electric off-road vehicles continues to grow in the future, Rezvani may explore pure electric power solutions, but large-displacement V8 supercharged engines will still remain the performance core of the brand. The brand plans to continue expanding the model matrix and limited quantities in the future, but the official entry schedule into the Chinese market has not yet been announced.
