The Rezvani Beast is a two-door sports car manufactured by Rezvani Motors. The car is based on the Ariel Atom and the Lotus Elise (for the Beast Alpha X Blackbird) sports cars utilizing them as its chassis. Prices can range from US$95,000 to US$325,000.
Models
Beast
The Rezvani Beast is the base model of the lineup. However, it is more expensive than its Targa variant, with an average cost at US$159,000. Because of the car's presence as a convertible, the car has been dubbed the "Rezvani Beast Speedster". The Beast was designed by Azerbaijani designer Samir Sadikhov.
The Beast contains a 2.4 liters supercharged I4 with a dual overhead camshaft and intercooler, producing . This power is delivered to the rear wheels by a 6-speed manual transmission, the only transmission available for the model. This car contains a chromoly tubular chassis and a dual-layer carbon fiber body without doors. The underpinnings are from an Ariel Atom. The wheels are made entirely from forged aluminum.
A version of the Beast came out later. The car is the same as the older Beast, with a of 2.9 seconds, but the only difference is that the car is more powerful. The weight is , setting the car's power-to-weight ratio to per ton.
The design for the base model Beast was built in a year. The Beast also has the original Ariel Atom brake calipers and discs installed, and has a custom horn. Because the car is a convertible, it had to have waterproof leather installed.
Beast Alpha
The Beast Alpha is essentially a coupe version of the Beast. The car debuted in a Rezvani keynote in 2016. Even though the Alpha is not a base model, it is cheaper than its speedster counterpart at US$95,000 due to price drops after its debut. It was originally US$200,000. This price drop began in 2018.
The car includes what Rezvani calls "Sidewinder" doors, doors that pop to the side and slide forward. This is the only Beast to have these doors. However, this is not standard, but a US$10,000 option.
The car has a new 2.4-liter turbocharged I4 tuned by Cosworth, which pushes out . The car's acceleration time is slower than the regular Beast, at 3.5 seconds. The Alpha's top speed is . The car's power is sent to the rear wheels by a 6-speed manual. Instead of the chromoly chassis, the chassis is aluminum. The car's weight is slightly heavier at , which makes the car's power-to-weight ratio lower, at per ton. This is due to the addition of new features. These include air conditioning, driver-selectable traction control, airbags, a roof (Targa style; removable), climate control, and functional doors.
The name Alpha slightly resembles this lower specification rating because of its usage in early models before their final product.
The car's options are very costly. For example, a 6-speed semi-automatic with paddle shifters is available for US$15,000, and the "Sidewinder" doors are averaged US$10,000.
Beast X
The Beast X is the most powerful variant of the Beast, priced at US$159,000 to US$270,000. The prices differ because there are two variants; one for the Beast, and another for the Beast Alpha.
Only five of these cars will be produced. The convertible X contains the 2.5 liters Cosworth I4 but is turbocharged this time by a pair of Borg Warners. This pushes out . Combined with a curb weight of , the car has a power-to-weight ratio of per ton. The car's design has been slightly changed for aerodynamic purposes. There are new added aero gaps, and fender grilles, and also a new split spoiler that loosely resembles the Pagani Zonda C12. The front and rear have been revised to add extra downforce, along with the gaps, grilles, and spoiler. This power is sent to the rear wheels by a 6-speed manual transmission, with a semi-automatic as an option for the X. The car has a time of 2.5 seconds.
Beast Alpha X
The coupe version of X has the same 2.5-liter turbocharged Cosworth I4, but only makes . No aerodynamic pieces are added though, and is basically the same design to the Beast Alpha. The weight is the same as the Beast and Beast X, at . Power-to-weight ratio is at per ton. The power is delivered by a 6-speed manual transmission. The body is made of carbon fiber.
