Rezvani Beast Alpha X Blackbird: Stealth Hunter with 700 Horsepower

The SR-71 Blackbird was the fastest military fighter in the world at the time, reaching speeds three times the speed of sound. It was enough inspiration that the California company Rezvani built a road hunter called the Beast Alpha X Blackbird. Only 5 examples will be made with a starting price of US$225,000. The first one has already been reserved by MMA fighter Rampage Jackson, which means that there are only four copies left.

The regular version Rezvani Beast Alpha uses 2.5 liter turbo 4 cylinder engine, which has 400 horsepower. Beast Alpha X Blackbird it also uses a 2.5-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine, with the difference that it has Cosworth computer and Carril pistons, camshafts, valves and springs. After the conversion, the engine squeezes out massive ones 700 horsepower. Customers can choose between manual 6-speed gearbox or sequential 6-speed gearbox that can be operated with steering wheel levers. With this conversion, the Beast Alpha X Blackbird accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.

Alpha X Blackbird has like all other Alphas carbon fiber bodywork, removable roof and special, first-opening Sidewinder door. These are available for an additional fee and will cost you an additional US$10,000. Package X adds some green hues to the exterior painting and rides on 18-inch rims, under which sports or carbon-ceramic brakes are hidden. This particular Beast Alpha model weighs just 952 kilograms, and so it's no surprise that the Blackbird is truly lightning fast.
