You might already be familiar with Rezvani Motors if you like vehicles that look like they were built to survive the apocalypse. The Californian company has made a name for itself by taking everyday SUVs and pick-up trucks, wrapping them in aggressive bodywork, offering military-grade armour and equipping them with enough survival gear to outlast the end of the world. Now, for the first time, it’s turned its attention to a supercar. Meet the Rezvani Dune. Based on the Lamborghini Huracan, it’s an off-road monster that’s been transformed into what is arguably one of the wildest supercars on sale today.

While the Dune is based on the standard Huracan, it clearly draws inspiration from the now-discontinued Huracan Sterrato – Lamborghini’s off-road-focused version of the supercar. Limited to just 1499 examples worldwide, the Sterrato marked the swansong of the Huracan, proving that a supercar could be just as entertaining away from the tarmac as it was on it. Rezvani has taken that same philosophy and pushed it much further, creating a machine that’s even more extreme in both looks and capability.

Working with supercharger gurus, VF Engineering, Rezvani has added a supercharger to the Huracan’s glorious 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, increasing output to 800 bhp – nearly 200 bhp more than the standard car. The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission remains unchanged, continuing to send power to all four wheels. The Dune rides on massive 33-inch all-terrain tyres and boasts an impressive 11-inch (280 mm) ground clearance, courtesy of a long-travel suspension setup. It also gets reinforced skid plates and bespoke bumpers designed to improve its approach and departure angles.

Visually, the transformation is impossible to miss. It gains carbonfibre flared wheel arches, exposed rivets, larger air intakes and no shortage of LED lighting, including a roof-mounted light bar, bonnet-mounted auxiliary lamps and a new set of tail-lights. Inside, the overall cabin layout remains largely unchanged, but it receives bespoke upholstery, unique trim finishes and virtually endless personalisation options.

Speaking of exclusivity, only seven examples of the Rezvani Dune will ever be built. Pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed, but considering the extent of the modifications, we wouldn’t be surprised if it costs two or even three times as much as the standard Huracan Sterrato, which starts at around Rs 4.6 crore in India.
