Rezvani Motors is an American automotive design and manufacturer of high-performance supercars based in Irvine, California.[3][4] Rezvani Motors was founded by Ferris Rezvani, a designer involved with Vencer’s Sarthe super-car.[5] It has released a design for the Rezvani Beast,[6] a self funded project by Rezvani.[7]

The Rezvani Beast was designed by Rezvani [1][8] who has worked on cars for Aston Martin, Ferrari[6][9] and DBC.[10] The Rezvani Beast aims to deliver a driving experience like piloting a fighter jet. Rezvani Motors' vehicle production is done in a 50,000-square-foot facility RAD is operating in Santa Ana, California.[7] In May 2015, Rezvani Motors released details and photos of the Rezvani Beast.[11] In June 2015, Rezvani unveiled the production version of its supercar[12][13] allowing customers to order the car with an 8-12 week production process.[14][15] The car can be seen at Rezvani's showroom in Costa Mesa, California.[16]

Chris Brown purchased the first Rezvani Beast in 2015 for $200,000. The car was used in the filming of Brown's single "Liquor."[17] The 500 horsepower street-legal race car has no doors, no roof, and weighs just 1,650 pounds.[18]

Beast

Rezvani Motors was founded in 2014 by Ferris Rezvani. In June of that year, Rezvani Motors introduced the Rezvani BEAST supercar based on the Ariel Atom[9] that uses the Ariel Atom chassis[19][20] with a lightweight carbon fiber body.[21][22] It is American-made using several British built Ariel Atom parts.[9] The car has a six-speed manual transmission with a rear-wheel layout.[23] The windshield is removable[24][25] and the car weighs approximately 1,650 pounds.[1][26][27] The custom production uses custom fit[8] 3D printing and CNC milling technology[10] for an estimated 1,500 labor hours of work.[6] CNC routing is used to make a 3D version of the car. The 3D print is used as a mold for the carbon fiber panels.[4][28] Advanced 3D printers create other parts of the vehicle such as lights and mirrors.[28] The first Beast will be delivered to an owner in Texas.[29]

Beast X

To top the Beast, Rezvani Automotive Designs introduced their next supercar: the Beast X. Still street-legal, the Beast X weighs in at 1,850 lbs, with 700 horsepower.[30] The car boasts a 2.4-liter motor with Borg Warner turbochargers, which helps it hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Only 5 Beast Xs will be produced, with an anticipated price tag of $325,000.
