Rezvani Beast X news: Lightweight supercar comes with a staggering 700 horsepower

(Rezvani)

Rezvani has introduced its newest creation, the Beast X – a performance-oriented supercar. Its predecessor, the Rezvani Beast is already impressive with 500 horsepower at just 1,650 pounds. Now, the Rezvani Beast X is even more powerful and possibly beastlier. According to Rezvani, it is "the most powerful and exclusive Beast ever produced."

The Rezvani Beast X is a street legal super car. It is powered by a 2.4-liter engine that produces a staggering 700 horsepower. To achieve this kind of power, Rezvani strengthened the engine and the engine internals. The engine has been equipped with two new Borg Warner turbochargers, forged pistons and valves.

The rear-wheel-drive supercar comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission but is also offered with a sequential automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

The Rezvani Beast X also comes with an upgraded chassis to handle extreme power. It is still built using the Ariel Atom with a carbon-fiber bodywork. Though it gains 200 pounds from its predecessor, it is still lightweight at 1,850 pounds. Downforce and a 10-way adjustable suspension was added to help the Beast X stay planted on the ground.

The Rezvani Beast X can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, two seconds faster than the Beast supercar.

The Beast X also gets an aggressive exterior design. The supercar was redesigned to improve aerodynamics and car handling. It now looks menacing with its new front and rear fasciae. New side wings help improve downforce and dual carbon-fiber rear wings reduce its drag coefficient.

There will only be five Beast X models produced. The Rezvani Beast X will be built to order and is priced at $325,000. According to Rezvani, owners of the Beast X will get free access to a number of tracks around the country.

For those who want the more affordable but still powerful Beast supercar, it is also built to order and priced at $165,000.
