# Beastly Boutique Supercars The Rezvani BEAST is an Ultra-Light, Super-Fast Sports Car By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-05-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezvani-beast References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/nanocellulose-oil-spill-sponges/31939/) & [rezvanimotors](http://www.rezvanimotors.com/rezvani-motors-news/) The [Rezvani](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezvani-retro) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venom-f5m) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Supercar Customization:** The trend of customizing supercars with unique body designs and styling elements presents an opportunity for boutique sports car makers to offer personalized and exclusive options. - **Ultra-lightweight Materials:** The trend of using advanced lightweight materials like carbon fiber in the construction of supercars provides an opportunity for manufacturers to create high-performance vehicles with reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency. - **High-powered Electric Engines:** The trend of developing high-powered electric engines for supercars presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create environmentally friendly sports cars that still deliver exceptional performance. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Manufacturing:** The automotive manufacturing industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating advanced lightweight materials and unique customization options into the production of supercars. - **Aerospace Engineering:** The aerospace engineering industry can leverage their expertise in lightweight materials and aerodynamics to contribute to the development of ultra-lightweight and high-performance supercars. - **Electric Vehicle Technology:** The electric vehicle technology industry can collaborate with supercar makers to develop cutting-edge electric engines that meet the high-performance demands of supercar enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Tactical Next-Gen SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani-tank.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md) - [Armored Tactical SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani.md) - [Ultra-Rare Open-Cockpit Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dbr22.md) - [Aviation Powered Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-by-john-dodd.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Riproaring Convertible Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-convertible-supercar.md) - [Beastly Off-Road Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-beast.md) - [Ultra-Fast Wishbone Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagani.md)
