FYI: The 2024 Rezvani Beast is a bulletproof American supercar equipped with spy gadgets reminiscent of James Bond’s iconic vehicles.
A Supercar Fit for a Super Spy
The 2024 Rezvani Beast, an American supercar, pushes the boundaries of innovation by integrating bulletproof armor and an arsenal of features worthy of a James Bond movie. Originating from the California-based boutique carmaker Rezvani, the Beast is essentially a Corvette C8 at its core, although it’s cloaked in a unique, sleek design that sets it apart from its Chevrolet cousin.
Ultimate Protection and Performance
This isn’t Rezvani’s first foray into high-performance vehicles. The original Rezvani Beast was based on the Ariel Atom, boasting approximately 710 horsepower. The 2024 incarnation steps up the game with a 6.2-liter mid-mounted V8 engine capable of delivering an impressive 1000 horsepower when in ‘Beast Mode’—over double the output of the base Corvette C8.
007 Package: Gadgets and More
What’s particularly unique about the 2024 Rezvani Beast is its optional 007 package. This add-on is not merely a marketing gimmick but comes equipped with practical, if somewhat theatrical, features that would make even Q branch jealous:
- Thermal Night Vision System
- Electromagnetic Pulse Protection
- Smoke Screen System
- First Aid Kit
- Hypothermia Kit
- Pepper Spray Dispenser
- Magnetic Dead Bolts
- Electrified Door Handles
- Lights/Siren/Horn Upgrades
- Strobe Lights
- Intercom System
- Explosive Device Detection (optional)
Built for Defense
The bulletproof capabilities of the Beast extend far beyond its James Bond-like gadgets. Rezvani is no stranger to armored vehicles, with previous models like the Vengeance SUV and the Hercules 6×6 truck offering similar protective features. The 2024 Beast benefits from an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber body incorporating resins used in the latest generation of U.S. fighter jets, enhancing both its strength and agility.
Cost of Ownership
This kind of performance and protection comes with a significant price tag. The bulletproof armor package will set you back $55,000, while the 007 add-on costs $45,000, all on top of the original price of the Rezvani Beast. This makes it a considerable investment but offers unparalleled features in return.
Conclusion
For those seeking a real-life 007 experience, the 2024 Rezvani Beast stands as a testament to what cutting-edge automotive engineering can achieve. Blending hypercar performance with next-level protection and a suite of spy-worthy gadgets, this American supercar is truly in a class of its own. Whether you’re an automotive aficionado or a secret agent at heart, the Rezvani Beast delivers an exhilarating and secure driving experience.
