There will be only 100 of them: Rezvani has unveiled the armoured Lamborghini Urus
Rezvani, a California-based company known for its extreme stealth fighter-style vehicles, has unveiled a new Rezvani Knight project based on the Lamborghini Urus. But that's not all - the 800-horsepower SUV received an optional armoured version called Dark Knight.
Here's What We Know
The car with Rezvani modifications is radically different from the original Lamborghini Urus: grey matte paintwork, chopped body panels, thin headlights, roof light bar, massive rear spoiler, widened arches and 22-inch wheels with 33-inch off-road tyres. All of this emphasises the Knight's ambitions as an SUV with the looks and performance of a supercar.
Under the bonnet is the familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, boosted to 800bhp (143bhp more than the standard Urus and 11bhp more than the new Urus SE Hybrid). Acceleration from the ground to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes 3.0 seconds, almost half a second quicker than the hybrid version.
The main feature of the model is the optional "Dark Knight" package, which turns the Knight into a civilian armoured vehicle. It includes:
- Bulletproof glass and body armour panels
- Underbody blast protection
- Run-Flat tyres
- Reinforced steel bumper
- Modified suspension
- The interior of the vehicles with this package is completed with gas masks, first aid kits, pepper gas dispenser, walkie-talkie and siren and strobe control system.
Rezvani plans to produce only 100 examples of the Knight. The base price starts at $149,000, with the Lamborghini Urus donor car not included in that amount. With the Dark Knight package included, the cost could exceed half a million dollars.
