CALIFORNIA-based Rezvani Motors was founded a decade ago and has always been about creating extraordinary vehicles.
There’s a range of high performance sports cars, but creator Ferris Rezvani is best known for a model called the Tank.
It’s something The Donald might want to seriously consider because apart from luxury, it can also be fitted with all manner of security features.
Just launched is the company’s Executive Edition Vengeance, which they say blends extreme performance with military-inspired design.
What does it look like? Well, one US reviewer summed it up thus: ‘It’s as if a Hummer had a torrid love affair with a stealth bomber, and their offspring was raised by a tank.’
A grand variety of executive rear seating options allow for a customised and tailored vehicle to fit your lifestyle and needs.
The Executive Edition comes with electric seat recliner and footrest, heated and ventilated seats, a Rolls-Royce-like suede ‘starlight’ interior roof lining ambient lighting, fine wood storage trays, a built-in bar and snack tray, a built-in iPad and Apple TV.
But you can also add some, or all, of a military pack should you feel the need to do so.
Some of the items are cameras for exterior view, blinding strobe lights, magnetic deadbolts, electrified door handles, a hypothermia kit, gas masks and bullet-proof vests, explosive device detection, ram bumpers, thermal night vision, a smoke screen, pepper spray – and there’s also a built-in safe.
Another choice is in the powertrain.
The 2025 Executive Edition Vengeance offers a range of engines that would make most petrolheads weep with joy (and environmentalists weep for entirely different reasons.)
There’s a 6.2-litre V8 that pushes out 420 ponies (309kW), and a 277 bhp (204kW) 3.0-litre straight six, or you can opt for a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 that lifts output to 650hp (480kW).
All are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Price: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it (and neither can most small countries) according to one tongue-in-cheek US writer.
“The base price for the 2025 Executive Edition Rezvani Vengeance starts at a cool $410,000 (about AU$600,000). That’s right, for the price of a modest house in some parts of the world, you too can own a vehicle that’s essentially a private jet that never leaves the ground.
“But wait, there’s more! Rezvani offers a range of additional packages that can send the price skyrocketing faster than the vehicle’s 0-60 time. There’s the Security Package, which for a mere $62,000 (AU$90,000) adds features like electrified door handles and a smoke screen deployer. You know, for those everyday situations we all find ourselves in.
“But for those who want the ultimate in protection there’s the Military Package. At $125,000, (AU$182,000) it’s not cheap, but can you really put a price on being able to withstand attacks that would cripple a normal vehicle?
“If a potential buyer were to tick every box, adding both the Security and Military packages to the already luxurious Executive Edition, they’d be looking at a price tag north of $650,000 (AU$945,000.
At this point, you might as well be buying a small yacht. Or a helicopter.
The vehicle is also said to pack more tech features than a NASA space shuttle.
The centrepiece is a built-in Apple TV, which makes for a cinematic experience on the go.
Complementing this are wall-mounted iPads, giving each passenger their own personal entertainment centre. It’s like having an Apple Store on wheels.
Step inside the 2025 Executive Edition Rezvani Vengeance, and you’ll find yourself in what can only be described as a cross between a first-class airline cabin and a military command centre.
The centrepiece is the executive seating. These aren’t just seats; they’re thrones fit for royalty.
Crafted from the finest leather and equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, they redefine comfort.
“With a touch of a button, they recline to a near-flat position, complete with extendable calf-rests. It’s like having a first-class airline seat in your SUV. I half expected to see a call button for the flight attendant,” one reviewer opined.
For times when additional passengers need to be carried, there are rear-facing jump seats.
They’re not afterthoughts; they’re fully-functional seats that maintain the vehicle’s luxurious aesthetic. Perfect for those impromptu entourage additions or perhaps a couple of bodyguards.
In conclusion, the 2025 Executive Edition Rezvani Vengeance is a vehicle that answers a question no one was asking:
“It’s ridiculously over-engineered, absurdly expensive, and about as practical as a chocolate teapot. ‘It’s the automotive equivalent of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and then using that same sledgehammer to build a nuclear bunker around said nut.
“And yet, I can’t help but love it.
“The 2025 Executive Edition Rezvani Vengeance is a testament to human ingenuity, excess, and our ability to create solutions to problems that don’t exist.
“It’s a vehicle that takes every action movie trope, every billionaire’s whim, and every survivalist’s fantasy, and rolls them all into one outrageously excessive package.”
There is a far less expensive option: a 1/18th remote controlled scale model of the real thing, for about $660 in Australian currency.
