When describing their newest offering, Rezvani says: “Born from the vision of a pure driving experience, the Rezvani Tank was designed to be the most capable vehicle on and off the road.”
The vehicle offers the driver a choice of types of an engine from a 6.4-liter 500 horsepower V8 engine, a 6.2-liter 1000 horsepower V8, or a 3.6-liter V6 which is being offered as standard on the model. There is also bulletproof glass as well as body armor throughout the exterior. The battery, radiator, and fuel tank are wrapped in Kevlar, and there is protection from explosive devices for the underside.
With all of this material, one has to wonder to oneself—what did Rezvani have in mind when they made this vehicle? It is easy to envision seeing it tooling around countries such as Afghanistan and Iran or even used to transport the president from the White House to an unknown destination.

The vehicle has the ability to release dense smoke at the touch of a button to allow it to lose anyone tracking or following it. And, there is even electromagnetic pulse protection that will radiate after a nuclear explosion that renders electronic devices inoperable.
As for the interior of the vehicle, the driver has a variety of elegant and sleek options to choose from—sure to satisfy even the pickiest of drivers.
