The Rezvani BEAST is a supercar -- produced by boutique sports car maker Rezvani -- which takes the internal structures and performance of the Ariel Atom supercar and adds the exterior styling, look and feel of a full-fledged sports car. The Ariel Atom is an ultra-light, hyper-fast car but has a go-kart-like design that doesn't float everyone's boat; the Rezvani BEAST fuses the Ariel Atom's performance specs with a carbon fiber body to create a complete sports car.
Despite the addition of carbon fiber body panels, the Rezvani BEAST is still ultra-lightweight, weighing in at only 1,550 pounds. It is fitted with the Ariel Atom's 500-horsepower 2.4-liter super/turbocharged cylinder. It also comes with a 315-horsepower 2.0-liter option. Both engines are hooked up to a six-speed manual gearbox which delivers power to the rear wheels.
The 300-hp option Rezvani BEAST 300 starts at $115,000 while the 500-hp BEAST 500 starts at $135,000.
