Rezvani Knight Is Lamborghini Urus-Based Batmobile: Check Pictures
Rezvani, the boutique exotic carmaker, is well-known for creating cars inspired by fighter jets. Upholding its name, the brand has created another marvel called the Rezvani Knight based on the Lamborghini Urus. Giving it a militaristic styling, they are offering the option of giving it a bulletproof armor upgrade. Before this, we have seen Rezvani's work on the Jeep Wrangler which became the base for Tank and Cadillac Escalade, giving birth to Vengeance. Rezvani claims that the Knight, along with their other two SUVs, is aimed at reinventing "the boring SUV space." It comes with hard edges and a grey paint job. Adding to this, the SUV has a body with carbon fiber elements, with the basic shape of Urus, with an even more angular design. They have also added thin running lights with the headlights, and a light bar on the roof. The robust front bumper is complemented by a similarly bold hood, while a prominent wing is positioned above the rear window. The Knight is equipped with distinctive 22-inch wheels fitted with 33-inch all-terrain tires.

Additional enhancements include a steel ram bumper, electrically charged door handles to deter unwanted intruders, magnetic deadbolts, a fortified suspension, and an intercom system. Rezvani features a range of bullet-resistant vests and helmets, along with gas masks, a first-aid kit, and a pepper spray dispenser. The company also claims that the package provides defense against electromagnetic pulses, as well as strobe lights, blinding lights, and sirens. Rezvani states that it can enhance the Lamborghini's twin-turbocharged V-8 engine to as much as 800 horsepower, based on the customer's preferences. This is a considerable increase compared to the 657 hp found in the non-hybrid Urus, even though the latest Urus SE plug-in hybrid is close behind at 789 horsepower. Rezvani asserts that the Knight can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds, a time that aligns with what we recorded in a 2023 Urus Performante.

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.

Lamborghini Urus gets a warrior makeover with Rezvani Knight armored super SUV
Perched atop the Knight's chiseled hood is a reengineered version of the Lamborghini Urus's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Check Offers California automaker Rezvani, famous for its outrageous and military-themed vehicles, has unveiled its newest creation — the Rezvani Knight. Built on the Lamborghini Urus platform, this super-aggressive SUV combines supercar acceleration with battlefield-level protection and unmistakable street presence. With only 100 units to be produced, the Knight is to be a rare creature, both on and off the road. Rezvani Knight: Design Forget subtlety — the Rezvani Knight is meant to be intimidating. Clad in matte gunmetal grey, its sharp body panels and sparse lighting signature make it look futuristic, almost post-apocalyptic. Also Read : Lamborghini Urus SE launched at ₹ 4.57 crore. Check what's new A light bar on the roof, a giant rear spoiler, and enormous fender flares set it apart from its Lamborghini heritage. The SUV sits on 22-inch wheels shod in knobby 33-inch all-terrain tires, suggesting its off-road aspirations despite its exotic lineage. Rezvani Knight: Performance and powertrain Perched atop the Knight's chiseled hood is a reengineered version of the Lamborghini Urus's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Rezvani provides several tuning levels, with outputs up to 800 bhp — a considerable increase over the base Urus and even surpassing the new hybrid Urus SE by a few horses. With this update, the Knight is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a claimed 3.0 seconds, making it among the fastest armored cars in the world. Rezvani Knight: Features and the Dark Knight package The Rezvani Knight's actual trump card lies in its "Dark Knight" package — a no-holds-barred set of defense features. It includes bulletproof body and glass panels, underbody explosive protection, ramming steel bumpers, and military-grade run-flat tires. Suspension is also upgraded to withstand the increased weight and stress of combat-grade components. Also Read : Your SUV isn't a real SUV unless it's a Rezvani Vengeance military-grade machine Step inside, and the Knight continues its survivalist theme. The cabin can be outfitted with gas masks, a pepper spray dispenser, strobe lights, an intercom, and even a first aid kit — all standard in the Dark Knight bundle. Optional sirens and horns complete the dystopian SUV vibe. Rezvani Knight: Price Starting at $149,000 — excluding the price of a donor Lamborghini Urus vehicle — the Rezvani Knight is a plaything for the very wealthy. Factor in the Dark Knight package and upper-end customizations, and some models will top out above $500,000. Limited to only 100 units, exclusivity is certain.
