Rezvani celebrates a decade of innovation by unveiling the 2024 Beast, a hypercar genesis born from the DNA of GM’s Corvette C8 but transcending its progenitor in power and prestige. At the heart of this evolutionary leap is a reimagined Corvette C8, metamorphosed through the alchemy of engineering into a creature of formidable brawn, wielding a thunderous 1,000 hp—an output that more than doubles its ancestor’s capabilities, courtesy of a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine, now twin-turbocharged.

This vehicular titan sprints from naught to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.5 seconds, a feat made possible not only by its Herculean heart but also by the technological sinews of an eight-speed DCT transaxle from Tremec and the grip of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. At a mere 2,980 lbs, cloaked in a carbon fiber shell worthy of an F-35 jet, this Beast promises a quarter-mile roar in 9.6 seconds.

Yet, the marvel of the Beast doesn’t halt at raw power. Its cockpit, a luxurious echo of the C8’s, boasts bespoke refinements and a futuristic yoke steering wheel. But where it truly forges its myth is in the realm of optional packages that seem distilled from the dreams of espionage aficionados and superhero fans alike. For an automotive armor, a $55,000 Bullet Proof Package offers bulletproof sanctity. The $45,000 ‘007’ Package, meanwhile, flirts with the fantastical, equipping the Beast with an arsenal ranging from strobe lights and an intercom system to more jaw-dropping accoutrements like pepper spray dispensers, a smoke screen, and even EMP pulse protection.

Limited to a mere 20 specimens, with a price tag of $485,000, the 2024 Rezvani Beast materializes cinematic fantasies into tangible, roaring metal.
