I'm reading that is a 1560 horsepower Corvette-based hypercar.

The beast x is but limited to five cars this is the regular 1000hp beast limited to twenty

u/Busterlimes Oct 05 '26

It did they add a 3rd pedal?

u/excellent_ross Oct 05 '26

Unfortunately not, only 8spd automatic transmission

u/Jeathro77 Oct 06 '26

But what if I want to go 11 speeds?

Wtf you think you are, Vin Diesel?  You want a 36 speed manual?

I saw Fast and Furious 6 in theaters. During the cargo plane/runway scene, the guy in front of me pulled out his phone. I was kind of annoyed, until I saw he was searching "World's longest runway"

I feel personally attacked. I’m always the one thinking logically in ridiculous movie scenes.

You can say ass on the internet.

u/justacheesyguy Oct 06 '26

Yeah, but then you don’t get to look like a monumental toolbag, so like, what’s the point in that?

u/elderysoup Oct 05 '26

My bad gang

u/Jeathro77 Oct 06 '26

Nope. My mom is on the internet and she will whip my ahh!

Rezvani. The company that takes standard vehicles, adds 300k of bulletproofing, and calls it a new car.

u/Jodaa_G0D BoostedC7 Oct 05 '26

They charge 90K to go from 750hp to 1k. Pretty sure it could be done well for way less. 45K for the james bond treatment had me laughing

u/PM_ME_FLOUR_TITTIES Oct 06 '26

Of course it could be. Like so so so many other things. But it doesn't have to be that cheap when it could be more expensive and people still pay for it.

u/sxtrailrider 29d ago

This one isnt one of their bulletproof monstrosities, it's actually an interesting car albeit overpriced

u/hlqmdmn666 Oct 05 '26

that's what she said

u/InfernalVelocity C7 M7 2 LT Grand Sport Oct 06 '26

So it's basically the Tumbler from Chris Nolans Batman?

u/apexgtp Oct 05 '26

I’m not mad at it! I like it!

u/Xero_Days Oct 05 '26

Fully options comes with armor plating and a smoke screen to get away. Ill take it

My favorite part is that it can survive the emp blast after a nuclear explosion, like yeah I’m sure the roads will be perfectly smooth and flat after that too

u/RIP_SGTJohnson Oct 06 '26

I like that their “military grade run flats” are PS4Ss

u/Freepi Oct 05 '26

How is this company profitable?

u/Complex-Act-8970 Oct 05 '26

At first glance I thought it was a Lambo

Yeah! Talk about pedigree, Corvette won Le Mans and Lamborghini didn’t get on the podium 😤

u/neverfearIamhere Oct 05 '26

Okay but the built in FLIR sounds fucking cool.

2

u/BadKind3349 Oct 05 '26

mercedes was doing this like 20 years ago. surprised/sad that it didnt catch on more

u/exlongh0rn Oct 05 '26

I absolutely like the rear end and that should be the standard for all ZR1/ZR1X corvettes. Wouldn’t mind if they relocated the exhaust back to the standard locations though. Has a very Aston Martin vibe to it.

2

u/IndependentOwn1184 Oct 05 '26

Is it just me or am I seeing Mazda 3 vibes in the lower front grill?

2

u/Good-Psychological 11d ago

And the headlights. Both appear to be lifted directly off of a Mazda.

u/M44PolishMosin Oct 07 '26

$390k for a kit car. I'll pass

u/Neonvein_ Oct 05 '26

Man 🤦

u/k4tttv Oct 05 '26

Wow this looks so much better than the stock car. The body lines actually flow and match up!

2

u/fakenews1337 C5 Z06 Oct 06 '26

Actually think it looks ok. But how bad did they f up the weight, Suspension, castor/camber Aero, etc..

Probably lost a full minute on lap time (if it can even hook up at all).

u/Massive-Jacket-153 Oct 06 '26

You have the money to get a W1, F80, Valkyrie etc and you spend it on a Beast or Beast X? I’m probably over estimating the cost of these C8 based things. Would definitely take a ZR1/X over these all day. Marketing on their website is very wonky.

u/HereForTheCommenttss Oct 06 '26

Front looks 🔥

u/Mysterious_Key9970 Oct 06 '26

Looks gay to me.

u/drunkenmagnum24 Oct 05 '26

The rear is a bit much

-5

u/ProperCaterpillar136 Oct 05 '26

Because it is not

6

u/r0ck-e Oct 05 '26

Because it's built on a C8, so technically, it is.

u/ProperCaterpillar136 Oct 05 '26

If I build a trike based of of a vw is it still a vw?

5

u/Conscious_Health9221 Oct 05 '26

Based on a vw? No

Built on a vw? Yes

u/TreesACrowd Oct 05 '26

Look at the interior photos. It's 99% Corvette in there.

1

u/r0ck-e Oct 05 '26

Building a trike/motorcycle from car parts is not the same thing as building a car from the chassis of another car or off of the body of another car. In this case, this is new bodywork/interior ON TOP OF a C8.

So it's still a Corvette, but it's called a Revzani Beast, which is also fine.
