Rezvani Motors has unveiled the Fortress, a limited-production truck based on the Ford F-150 Raptor and designed with the company’s signature military-inspired styling. Limited to 100 units, the vehicle is offered with either a 450-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 or an 850-horsepower supercharged 5.2-litre V8. Exterior modifications include reinforced steel bumpers, widened fenders, hood heat extractors, roof-mounted auxiliary lighting, and 20-inch beadlock-capable wheels fitted with 40-inch all-terrain tires. The truck also retains the Raptor’s long-travel suspension, adaptive damping system, and off-road capabilities.
Buyers can specify a range of optional upgrades focused on protection and self-sufficiency. Available equipment includes ballistic armour, bullet-resistant glass, blast-resistant underbody protection, run-flat military tires, thermal night vision, EMP protection, and satellite connectivity. Additional off-grid features include solar panels, auxiliary fuel storage, portable power systems, and onboard water storage.
