Rezvani Beast

A carbon-bodied, sub-1,600-lb track roadster

Announced in June 2014, the Rezvani Beast was the company's debut car - a minimalist, open-top two-seater based on the Ariel Atom's exposed-chassis concept and Lotus Elise underpinnings. Designed by Samir Sadikhov, it wore a doorless carbon-fiber body over a chromoly tubular chassis and weighed under 1,600 pounds. Offered in 300- and 500-hp turbo/supercharged four-cylinder forms, the 500 was claimed to hit 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds.
