Rezvani Tank: Meet an SUV that looks like a tank, has armour and thermal night vision

1/8

Rezvani has many ways of describing the Tank – Tactical Urban Vehicle or an Extreme Uitility Vehicle. The idea is to provide on- and off-road capabilities in a vehicle that looks ready to go to war. Rezvani Tank packs power in more than one way and the overall appearance goes in hand with how powerful the engine is. On the inside though, it is a luxurious space to be. There is four-wheel-drive on demand and features like thermal vision. The Tank does not just look armoured, but is bullet proof.

Let's first talk about the heart of the Tank – a 3.6L V6 or an optional 6.4-litre 500 hp V8 engine. It comes with two off-road packages that provide high ground clearance, tuned suspension and a capable set of tyres. The standard package comes with GRID off-road wheel package and there is an option of T6061 Air craft FORGED aluminum custom design wheels.

Rezvani is the brainchild of Ferris Rezvani, who aspired to become a fighter pilot like his father. Ferris Rezvani wanted to develop a thrill similar to flying an F-4 fighter jet in a car, and so he set out to create an extreme sports car which would let drivers experience similar g-forces as a jet plane. This was represented in the company's emblem, with wings representing his roots in aviation and steering wheel and racing stripes representing the brand's dedication to driving.
