Unveiling the Ultimate Fortress on Wheels: Rezvani Arsenal SUV Boasts Unprecedented Civilian Armor
Rezvani, the California-based automotive powerhouse, has just pulled the covers off its latest masterpiece—the 2024 Rezvani Arsenal. Following the path of its predecessor, the Vengeance, the Arsenal is built on the sturdy foundation of the Cadillac Escalade platform. However, this time, Rezvani has specifically tailored its new three-row SUV for civilian use, shifting gears from the military-centric focus of the Vengeance.
The Rezvani Arsenal isn’t just any SUV. Under its hood lies a robust powertrain that people dream of. The standard offering is a beefy 425-hp 6.2-liter V-8 engine. For those with a more voracious appetite for power, options include a 3.0-liter turbodiesel and a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that belts out a heart-pounding 700 hp. Regardless of the engine choice, a 10-speed automatic transmission ensures a seamless and potent drive.
Seating and Armored Protection
Buyers of the Arsenal can choose between seven- and eight-seat configurations, ensuring that versatility isn’t an afterthought. However, what truly sets this behemoth apart is its comprehensive armor protection. Rezvani claims the Arsenal is the first civilian vehicle to incorporate B6 ballistic-rated composite material. This protective layer is designed to thwart bullets from AR15s and AK47s, along with armor-piercing rounds. What’s more, the composite material tips the scales at a third of the weight of traditional ballistic steel, making it a marvel of modern engineering.
If that isn’t enough, the available Military Package ups the ante with additional layers of safety. This package includes protection against explosive threats, a smoke screen, military-grade run-flat tires, reinforced suspension, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection, night vision, sirens, warning lights, and a myriad of other features that make the Arsenal as formidable as any action hero’s ride.
Exclusive and Luxurious
Exclusive doesn’t begin to cut it when describing the Arsenal. It comes with a starting price of $225,000, and with production limited to just 100 units, each vehicle is destined to be a rare gem. The lucky few who get their hands on one can expect deliveries to start later this summer.
Rezvani’s recently launched ventures reaffirm the company’s knack for innovation across vehicle types. Not only is the company excelling in SUV design, but it has also laid its hands on the vibrant world of sports cars and retro designs. Earlier this year, Rezvani unveiled a new version of its original Beast sports car, now based on the C8 Corvette platform, and it commands up to a staggering 1,000 hp. Furthermore, their newly inaugurated division dedicated to retro designs has already made waves with a Porsche 911 revamped to echo the iconic race cars by Kremer Racing from the 1970s.
With the Arsenal, Rezvani has undoubtedly solidified its reputation as a pioneer in the automotive world. This SUV is not just a vehicle; it’s a fortress on wheels, meticulously designed for those who demand the ultimate blend of luxury, performance, and unparalleled safety.
