California-based startup Rezvani has unveiled the Beast, a carbon-clad supercar based on the Ariel Atom.
The company is attempting to serve customers who desire the high performance of the Atom, but prefer an aesthetic design that evokes a Lamborghini Aventador rather than a go-kart.
“The Beast is the very definition of an aggressive, open-top supercar with minimalist surfaces and ultimate performance proportions,” the company boasts.
The carbon-fiber body has been designed by Samir Sadikhov, known for his work on the Aston Martin DBC and Ferrari Xerzi concepts. It pairs an angular front fascia and rear panels with a curvaceous topside.
The Beast 300 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine tuned for 315 horsepower, while the Beast 500 steps up to a supercharged 2.4-liter mill with 500 ponies.
As expected, the body adds a few hundred pounds to the Atom’s exoskeletal curb weight. Both models are still relatively light, however, with respective 0-60 mph sprint times of 2.9 and 2.7 seconds.
The company suggests each vehicle requires 1,000-1,500 man hours and five to six months to build. Introductory pricing for the Beast 300 Launch Edition falls just below $100,000, with a normal retail price of $115,000, while the Beast 50California-based startup Rezvani has unveiled the Beast, a carbon-clad supercar based on the Ariel Atom.
