The Rezvani Beast X is now released. It's the successor of the mighty Rezvani Beast, the 500hp 1,650lbs supercar which probably you never heard of. But now, the Beast X is supposed to put Rezvani on the supercar map, right next to the best supecar makers out there. Can it compete though with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani and McLaren who are currently dominating that market? I think it has a pretty good chance.
The Beast X is even more powerful than its little brother. It has a 2.4 litre engine which produces a staggering 700hp in a car that weighs just 1,850lbs due to its full carbon fibre body. This causes the Beast X to have a better power to weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron and reach 60mph from rest in just 2.5 seconds! Just like the Beast, the Beast X is based on the Ariel Atom, but it received some upgrades from the previous model to make it even better. The engine and internals were strengthened to withstand the larger power output from the two new Borg Warner turbos and forged pistons and valves were created especially for this model. The chassis was also upgraded to handle the increased power. The transmission remains the same 6-speed manual with the option of an automatic sequential transmission with paddle shifters still available.
The purpose of this car is to be on the track and provide a good driving experience. Even though you can drive it on the road, it was built to set lap times and that's why they redisigned the shape to improve the aerodynamics and handling. It has new dual carbon fibre rear wings to reduce drag and side wings were added to improve downforce at high speeds and during cornering. Also a new 10-way adjustable suspension was introduced but it has the same rear-wheel drive system as the previous model.
So we know for a fact it's a very fast and powerful car and can handle quite well too. What's left to discuss is the price. At $325,000 it's not by any means a cheap car. But what you get is quite unique. It has everything a supercar should have: speed, agility, handling and looks. Of course there are many other cheaper alternatives that tick the same boxes but the Beast X makes you feel more special, because there are not many out there. You probably won't run into someone with the same car on the traffic lights. With this price you also get unlimited free access to a number of tracks in the US. The previous model of the Beast X, the Beast, will still be produced at $165,000 for those who believe the Beast X is a bit too much for them.
