It seems that we have a newcomer in supercarland welcome.
The American Rezvani Motors, has spread recently all some teasers of a car that was doomed the umpteenth just-not-project of Fardees Rezvani. Today, a Californian company, to the outside with all the details: it is not a private car, but an open-top lightweight supercar based on the Ariel Atom.
The ingredients
Rezvani wants the Beast with two motoropties offer: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with turbo or a 2.4-liter four-cylinder which is placed under pressure by a supercharger. Capabilities would therefore be liable to result of 300 bhp in the Beast 300 to 500 hp in the Beast 500.
Switch comes in two variants with a manual zesbak. This would make you the Beast 300 in 2.9 seconds on the hundred, the Beast 500 will do it 0.2 seconds faster. Better yet unproven performance -co – can be realized because of the low weight. The (dry)weight is coming from on 666 kilograms (no joke, take care of 1470 lbs but to agree to) for the Beast 300 and 703 kilograms for the Beast 500.
The design
The rear-wheel drive roadster has the genes of an Ariel Atom, combined with its own carbon fiber body that was reported by Rezvani Automotive Designs. Hereby, they are also making use of 3D printing techniques, as we have more and more car manufacturers the last time. The lines on the front are tightly drawn. Just below the ‘corner’ of the nose are two headlight units placed beautifully out of sight fall. The rest of the front is mainly taken up by air vents.
The openings in the hood, the pushrod suspension, the ophangingselementen that the regular Atom is also attractive in the picture. Some form of windscreen or windshield is not present, but Rezvani says that they optionally place it. At the back, in the extension of the two head restraints, and put two uitlaatuiteinden to the outside. A place where the Porsche 918 Spyder, she also has to sit. The wheel arches are filled with 19-inch PUR wheels wrapped in 235/35/19 and 295/30/19-rubber from Toyo.
Price
To the coming of the Beast to celebrate offers Rezvani, the first copies as a Launch Edition. The Beast 300 LE costs $99.500, the Beast 500 LE is going for $124.900 USD. The regular prices will be respectively $119.000 $139.000. If you already have an Ariel Atom, you can ‘m from $49.000 to convert to Beast.
On the question of whether this is vaporware? However, Rezvani says that they do not showauto build, because all the attention to the production models, but something tangible they can not yet show. We keep ‘m for now: plausible.
