The custom supercar game sports a lot of players and not much success; for every Koenigsegg or Pagani who’ve managed to build a real business, there’s a dozen one-name outfits that show off a design or two then never get off the bench. The latest entry comes from an American designer, who’s targeting a more realistic goal rather than reinventing the carbon-fiber wheel.
It’s called the Rezvani Beast, designed by California builder Fardees Rezvani. Based on the chassis of the Ariel Atom, the Beast wraps a lightweight and stylish carbon-fiber body around the bare-bones track car, along with an interior that makes the Beast a more comfortable place to spend time on the road. (There’s even an optional windshield, something traditional Atom buyers consider a buzzkill.)
