Rezvani Beast, for those of you who don’t know, is a brand-new American exotica built with a nod to the European way of making fast sports cars. It is even based on one, the British Ariel Atom. But the Beast features its own flashy, Californian design. In this video Jay Leno inspects the car up close and gives it a good work out on the road to see if it drives as good as it looks.
Explaining the philosophy behind Rezvani Beast is the company’s founder Ferris Rezvani:
