The Rezvani Knight is an armoured Lamborghini Urus with electrified door handles
Love your Lambo SUV but live in a dodgy neighbourhood? Rezvani can transform it for $149k
Looking like a law enforcement vehicle that has managed to escape from Grand Theft Auto VI, Rezvani Motors has unveiled its latest military-style modified SUV as it attempts to “break away from the mundane”. Yep, it’s certainly doing that.
This is the Rezvani Knight, and as you might have spotted from the shape it’s based on a Lamborghini Urus. Only, this is what the Urus would look like if it was designed for some futuristic, apocalyptic dystopia.
Rezvani said its new ‘aggressive’ carbon fibre body was penned to combine the looks of “futuristic virtual vehicles, hypercars and military SUVs”. Whole lot going on here. Just check out that snout.
We’re told the exterior features angled armoured plates, while the rear end is supposed to be super sci-fi with its narrow taillights and pointed rear wing. Rezvani also fits 22in wheels and 33in off-road tyres, and we’re assuming the colour options will include grey, grey, slightly darker grey and possibly black.
Oh, and because this is Rezvani, you can fully kit out your Knight for the actual apocalypse. Known here as the ‘Dark Knight Package’ (we’re sure Warner Bros won’t have any issue with that) it adds bulletproof glass and body armour, underside explosive protection, military-spec runflat tyres, a smoke screen system, reinforced suspension and a steel bumper for ramming things.
That’s not all either, because the please-don’t-hurt-me-package also adds a thermal imaging system, EMP protection, electrified door handles, many siren options, strobe lights, gas masks, an intercom system, pepper spray dispenser and magnetic dead bolts. Crikey.
Oh, and if you’re worried about the extra weight all that kit will add, Rezvani will also turn up the wick on the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 so that it produces 789bhp. It’ll also add an “optional valved exhaust system for a more sensory experience”, although if you’re needing all that extra safety kit, there’s probably a fair assault on the senses happening outside already.
Rezvani wants customers to bring their own Urus along to be transformed into the Knight, with prices starting at $149,000 for the base car. There’s no word on pricing for the Dark Knight package, but adding similar kit to the Cadillac Escalade-based Rezvani Vengeance costs a not insignificant $85,000. Best be sure you really need it before ticking the box on the configurator, then.
