Why it matters

History
Rezvani Motors, a California company founded by Fardees Rezvani, presented the Beast in May 2014. Robb Report calls it the company's first production model. It was built in the United States with some British-built parts, and its body was designed by Samir Sadikhov with Rezvani's design arm.
Two versions were offered. The 300 used a 315 hp supercharged Honda engine. The 500 used a twin-turbocharged Honda engine rated at 500 hp. Both had a six-speed manual gearbox sending power to the rear wheels.
The sources disagree on price. Robb Report gives US$129,000 for the 300 and $149,000 for the 500. New Atlas gives US$115,000 and $135,000.
