1. The Rezvani Tank Is a ‘Tactical Urban Vehicle’
The Rezvani Tank is the brand’s SUV offering, and one look at it explains the name. Rezvani calls it a “Tactical Urban Vehicle,” which means it’s ready for anything on-road and off. The base model comes with a standard V4 turbo engine, but consumers have the option to upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6 engine for $9,500 or a 6.4-liter V8 Dodge SRT engine for $45,000. Other performance packages are also available for a premium.
Higher trim levels include a bulletproof exterior. The styling is guaranteed to turn heads, and the interior is super customizable, so you can make it your own. It’s based on the Jeep Wrangler and can be serviced at Jeep dealers. It’s also much more expensive than the Wrangler, with a starting price of $175,000.
2. The Hercules Model Has Six Wheels
The Rezvani Hercules is a 6×6 pickup truck based on the Jeep Gladiator. The aesthetics and customization options of the Hercules are similar to the Tank. However, its obvious distinction is being a pickup with six wheels on three axles. Rezvani calls it “the god of all trucks,” and pricing starts at $195,000.
3. The Military Editions Are Bulletproof
Both Rezvani models offer a Military Edition designed for civilians. The vehicles have bulletproof body armor and glass. Plus, they boast 20 security features, including underside explosive protection, a smoke screen, electrified door handles, and even a pepper spray dispenser. These are trucks for the doomsday prepper with a healthy car budget. The Military Edition of the Tank starts at $259,000, with the Hercules at $265,000.
Is the Rezvani Tank a Military Vehicle?
The company calls the Rezvani Tank a tactical urban vehicle. The “Military Edition” is bulletproof and has many security features, but it’s built for civilians.
4. Several Engine Options
The standard engine is a tried and true 3.6-liter V6 that sees duty in many Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles, but many more exciting engines are available. You can get a Rezvani with a 500-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi V8 like the one in the Dodge Scat Pack muscle cars for an added $45,000. A Hellcat-sourced 707-horsepower supercharged V8 is another engine choice ($75K). Other options include a 1,000-horsepower V8 from the Dodge Demon ($95K) and a gas engine and electric motor hybrid powertrain ($8.5K) that offers up to 49 MPGe. Additionally, there’s also a plug-in hybrid and diesel V6 engine available. There’s truly something for everyone.
5. Highly Customizable
What’s available is a dizzying number of options for paint, interior, powertrain, performance, and security for Rezvani models. You can even get one with a right-hand drive. In addition to the security features above, options include thermal night vision, Italian Nappa leather seats, a “Starry Night” headliner, a safe in the center console, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection.
6. It’s Working on a 1,000-HP Supercar
Rezvani’s only models currently in production are the Tank and the Hercules. The brand is working on reviving its supercar called the Beast. We’ve seen before limited-production Beast models based on the Ariel Atom and Lotus Elis. The new Rezvani Beast promises to be a mid-engine performance car with a carbon fiber body and a twin-turbo, 1,000-horsepower engine. While we don’t know much about the upcoming production model, you can put down a refundable reservation for the Beast for only $250.
