Rezvani Knight: Lamborghini Urus turned up to 11 with optional armour kit
The new Rezvani Knight is an Italian bull dressed up in outrageous American armour. If you own a Lamborghini Urus and have at least US$149,000 (A$232,000) lying around, Rezvani will strip it down and dress it up in an all-new carbon-fibre suit that wouldn't look out of place in a Mad Max movie. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. There are thin lighting strips at the front, a light bar on the roof, and a visor-like glasshouse that must be pretty hard to see out of. The Knight rides on 22-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tyres. For the Knight, Rezvani will also retune the non-electrified 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 that powered the pre-facelift Urus to produce around 597kW. As a result, the company claims the Knight can complete the 0-60mph (0-97km/h) sprint as standard in 3.0 seconds. By way of comparison, the standard pre-facelift Urus made a 'mere' 478kW, and can hit 100km/h in a claimed 3.6 seconds, which already makes it one of the world's quickest SUVs. Should this ostentatious display of wealth have you fearing reprisals, there's an optional Dark Knight "military package", which includes bulletproof glass and body panels, underbody explosive protection, run-flat tyres, night vision, electrified door handles, ram bumpers, strobe and blinding lights, gas masks, and bulletproof vests and helmets. Like other Rezvani models, production of the Knight will be limited to 100 units. Based in Irvine on the southern outskirts of Greater Los Angeles, Rezvani was founded in 2013 by Ferris Rezvani and specialises in rebodying and toughening up vehicles for a very well heeled set of celebrities. The other models in the automaker's current range include the Vengeance (based on the Cadillac Escalade), Tank (Jeep Wrangler), Hercules 6×6 (Jeep Gladiator), and Beast (Chevrolet Corvette).

What the Heck Happened to Rezvani?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Turn back the clock with me to a decade ago. It's 2015. Obama is still president, nobody has heard of COVID-19, and Corvettes still have their engines in the front. A nobody outfit called Rezvani is about to release the Beast, a custom car itself based on a kit with a Honda engine and a manual transmission. Was anybody asking for such a thing? Nope. But Rezvani managed to get the attention of enough buyers to sink its teeth into the automotive landscape, and it hasn't let go since. The original Beast was little more than a Double-Stuf Ariel Atom with a no-name custom body and an astronomically high price tag. The new, Lamborghini Urus-based Knight is no less ridiculous, but it's built on a far more ambitious platform and with a very, very different mission. What a difference a decade makes, eh? It was remarkable enough at the time for Jay Leno to set aside an example for his personal collection, and even invited Ferris Rezvani to promote it for Jay Leno's Garage, where he talked up the custom carbon fiber exterior and even received kudos from Jay for keeping the price of the Beast in check—a challenge for a 'boutique' builder. But now, it's 2025, and those early teething years are behind the custom builder. The Beast nominally survives, but it has transformed from a svelte, kit-car-based performance toy to a comparably massive, Corvette-based symbol of excess after a few years of Lotus-Elise-based shenanigans. But these days, Rezvani is far better known for its ridiculous trucks and SUVs. Enter the Knight. This monstrosity packs 800 horsepower and a zero-to-60 time to rival supercars, and you can ruin augment that with an armored package that includes a bug-out kit complete with a first aid kit, a hypothermia kit, gas masks, and a pepper spray dispenser—for the zombies, of course. Rezvani It's very on-brand for Rezvani in 2025, and far from the company's first apocalypse cruiser; that role has been filled by multiple offerings over the past few years. The company started with the Tank, which was Wrangler-based, before unleashing the Gladiator-derived Hercules 6×6 with a Dodge Demon's V8. Still, it's a little weird to think that this company came out of nowhere a decade ago with nothing but a kit car and a dream. Who will be the next Rezvani? And maybe more importantly, what will they pitch us first? Got a tip? Send it in: tips@ Byron is one of those weird car people who has never owned an automatic transmission. Born in the DMV but Midwestern at heart, he lives outside of Detroit with his wife, two cats, a Miata, a Wrangler, and a Blackwing.

Rezvani Made a Bulletproof Lamborghini Urus, Naturally
Rezvani has done it again. The boutique exotic carmaker known for building strange fighter jet-inspired cars has released an SUV based on the Lamborghini Urus . Called the Rezvani Knight, it has all of the wacky design cues you'd expect from the California-based brand, plus up to 800 horsepower from a twin-turbo V-8. The flat gunmetal grey paint and angular body panels are enough to set the car apart from the Urus it's based on, with slim exterior lighting, a light bar mounted to the roof, and a large rear spoiler. There are beefy fender flares for the 22-inch wheels and 33-inch all-terrain tires, suggesting real off-road prowess. Photo by: Rezvani "The goal was to push the limits of merging aggressive supercar styling and performance with daily practicality and off-road capability," CEO Ferris Rezvani said in a statement. The Knight uses the Urus's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, tuned to up to 800 horsepower, depending on buyer preference. That's 143 horsepower over the last-gen Urus, but just an 11-hp bump from the new hybridized Urus SE . Nevertheless, Rezvani promises a 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds—nearly half a second quicker than the battery-assisted Urus. The Knight's biggest party trick is the optional "Dark Knight" package. It's a comprehensive set of upgrades that turns the Knight from a normal performance SUV into a quasi-tank. Check the option box, and you get bulletproof glass and body panels, underside explosive protection, military-spec run-flat tires, a steel ram bumper, and a reinforced suspension. Inside, the Dark Knight package adds gas masks, a first aid kit, a pepper spray dispenser, an intercom system, and a handful of optional sirens, horns, and strobe lights. No matter the situation, this package has a solution (or, in some cases, a deterrent). Photo by: Rezvani Photo by: Rezvani Like all Rezvanis, the Knight will be expensive and highly limited. The company promises to build just 100 examples, each costing $149,000 to start. And that's before adding in the price of a donor car. Factor in the Dark Knight package, and we wouldn't be surprised to see some highly-specced Knights cross the half-million-dollar mark.

Get This 6x6 Jeep Gladiator For A Steal
Read the full story on Backfire News If you've always dreamed of owning a 6x6 Jeep Gladiator, this modified 2021 model could be your budget-friendly ticket. While you could get one from Apocalypse and pay a supercar price for it, this one that doesn't have so much of an in-your-face design might be far easier on your budget and retirement to the seller, who's in Irvine, California, this Jeep has 300 miles on the clock but apparently was a show car and has 'zero mileage.' We guess all that is just rolling the thing into parking spots or convention centers to be displayed. You'll note that while the Gladiator has a longer bed and that extra rear axle, the rest of the exterior is pretty close to factory appearance. Sure, the LED headlights are aftermarket and there's a light bar over the windshield, but there are no custom body panels on the front and no 'angry eyes' aftermarket grille. For some that would be a dealbreaker. But with a list price of $94,900 this thing is a fraction of what an Apocalypse Gladiator 6x6 costs. You do get some nice retractable side steps, something shorter people definitely need for ingress and egress. Built by NextLevel, these builds from the company start at $152,000. In other words, this is still steal compared to comparable Gladiators. There's no mention of an engine upgrade, so we're guessing it's the factory mill, but that's just a guess. Perhaps this 6x6 is the perfect blank canvas for someone else to add whatever mods they want, or to just keep in otherwise relatively stock-looking condition. You could go any way you want with this rig. Would you pop out $94,900 for this 2021 Jeep Gladiator 6x6? Or do you think it's ridiculous, even though it's significantly cheaper than if you got a new one built? See this Jeep's listing here. Images via Ferris Rezvani/Facebook Marketplace

Rezvani Retro RR1 Brings the Iconic 935 Race Car into the Modern Era
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Rezvani Automotive is set to launch the production version of its much-anticipated Retro RR1 in just one week, marking the first entry in its new Rezvani Retro series. Inspired by the legendary Porsche 935 race car of the 1970s, the RR1 aims to capture the spirit of the past while incorporating the latest in automotive technology and performance. Unlike conventional resto-mods, which often blend old-school styling with modern mechanics, Rezvani's approach is radically different. CEO Ferris Rezvani emphasized the necessity for a truly distinctive retro aesthetic, ensuring that the RR1 stands apart from the countless modified classics in today's market. The RR1 is based on the modern Porsche 992 but features extensive modifications to evoke the silhouette and spirit of the original 935 race car. The design process involved showcasing both traditional and modern headlight configurations to potential buyers. Ultimately, the nostalgic appeal of classic round headlights won out, leading Rezvani to fully commit to a more period-correct design. The RR1 will be limited to just 50 units, ensuring exclusivity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. While full specifications have yet to be revealed, the car promises to merge cutting-edge performance with unmistakable retro styling. Rezvani Retro models, including the RR1, are designed for those who appreciate vintage aesthetics but also demand modern reliability, technology, and comfort. The result is a car that delivers the timeless appeal of an automotive icon without sacrificing today's performance and convenience features. As Rezvani prepares to unveil the final production version, anticipation is high among enthusiasts eager to see how the Retro RR1 brings the legendary 935 back to life—reimagined for the modern era.
