Rezvani is preparing its most extreme Beast yet. The California-based automaker has teased the Beast X, a limited-production hypercar that combines a custom 6.2-liter V8, all-wheel drive and a claimed 1,560 horsepower.
Only five examples are planned, turning the Beast X into an ultra-exclusive project aimed at collectors and performance enthusiasts. Rezvani’s latest creation also shows how small American automakers continue to carve out a space in the hypercar market by prioritizing extreme performance and bespoke engineering rather than competing directly with mass-market manufacturers.
A 1,560-HP V8 At The Center
The defining feature of the Beast X is its powertrain.
Rezvani says the car uses a custom 6.2-liter V8 with forged internal components, producing 1,560 hp and sending that power to all four wheels. The combination places the Beast X firmly in the territory occupied by the world’s most powerful road-going performance cars.
The figure is particularly notable because the Beast name has historically been associated with lightweight, highly focused performance rather than enormous power outputs. Rezvani’s current Beast already offers up to 1,000 hp from a mid-mounted twin-turbo 6.2-liter V8, according to the company’s specifications.
The Beast X therefore represents a substantial escalation of the formula.
Exclusivity Is Part Of The Product
Rezvani plans to build just five Beast X examples.
That production strategy places scarcity at the center of the car’s identity. Instead of pursuing volume, Rezvani is creating a vehicle designed to occupy a very narrow segment of the collector-car market, where rarity can be nearly as important as performance.
The approach is consistent with Rezvani’s broader product philosophy. The company already builds highly limited vehicles and offers heavily customized specifications across its lineup, positioning itself closer to a boutique manufacturer than a conventional automaker.
The Beast Has Always Been About Extremes
The Beast X is not appearing in isolation.
Rezvani’s Beast lineage began with a lightweight sports car designed around raw driving performance. Earlier generations emphasized low weight and aggressive styling, while later versions progressively increased power and added more sophisticated drivetrains.
The current Beast uses a carbon-fiber body and a mid-mounted V8, with Rezvani listing up to 1,000 hp and a claimed 0-to-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds.
The Beast X takes that philosophy to another level.
American Hypercars Are Finding Their Own Identity
The emergence of cars like the Beast X illustrates a broader development in the performance-car industry.
For decades, the highest levels of the hypercar market were dominated by European manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani and Koenigsegg. American companies, meanwhile, were traditionally associated with muscle cars, large-displacement engines and high-performance versions of mass-market vehicles.
That distinction is becoming less clear.
Companies such as Rezvani are building highly specialized machines that compete for attention through extraordinary power, limited production and unconventional design. Rather than attempting to match established European manufacturers feature for feature, boutique American brands are creating their own interpretation of what an exclusive hypercar can be.
A Different Kind Of Automotive Business
The Beast X also highlights an important business model within the modern automotive industry.
Producing only five cars is fundamentally different from manufacturing thousands or millions of vehicles. The objective is not scale. It is exclusivity, customization and high-value production.
That allows a company like Rezvani to focus on customers who value rarity and personalization as much as outright performance.
The economics of such a business are therefore closer to luxury manufacturing than traditional automotive production.
What Comes Next
Rezvani has teased the Beast X rather than providing a complete production specification, meaning several details remain to be confirmed as the vehicle moves toward its official unveiling.
For now, the headline numbers are enough to establish its position: 1,560 horsepower, a 6.2-liter V8, all-wheel drive and only five planned examples.
The Beast X may never become a mainstream name in the automotive industry—and that is precisely the point. Its purpose is to demonstrate what a small American manufacturer can create when production volume is secondary to performance, engineering and exclusivity.
In an industry increasingly shaped by electrification and software, Rezvani is taking a very different route: building an exceptionally limited machine around the enduring appeal of a powerful combustion engine.
