The new Rezvani Knight is an Italian bull dressed up in outrageous American armour.
If you own a Lamborghini Urus and have at least US$149,000 (A$232,000) lying around, Rezvani will strip it down and dress it up in an all-new carbon-fibre suit that wouldn’t look out of place in a Mad Max movie.

There are thin lighting strips at the front, a light bar on the roof, and a visor-like glasshouse that must be pretty hard to see out of. The Knight rides on 22-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tyres.
For the Knight, Rezvani will also retune the non-electrified 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 that powered the pre-facelift Urus to produce around 597kW. As a result, the company claims the Knight can complete the 0-60mph (0-97km/h) sprint as standard in 3.0 seconds.
By way of comparison, the standard pre-facelift Urus made a ‘mere’ 478kW, and can hit 100km/h in a claimed 3.6 seconds, which already makes it one of the world’s quickest SUVs.
Should this ostentatious display of wealth have you fearing reprisals, there’s an optional Dark Knight “military package”, which includes bulletproof glass and body panels, underbody explosive protection, run-flat tyres, night vision, electrified door handles, ram bumpers, strobe and blinding lights, gas masks, and bulletproof vests and helmets.
Like other Rezvani models, production of the Knight will be limited to 100 units. Based in Irvine on the southern outskirts of Greater Los Angeles, Rezvani was founded in 2013 by Ferris Rezvani and specialises in rebodying and toughening up vehicles for a very well heeled set of celebrities.
The other models in the automaker’s current range include the Vengeance (based on the Cadillac Escalade), Tank (Jeep Wrangler), Hercules 6×6 (Jeep Gladiator), and Beast (Chevrolet Corvette).
