In an attempt to quash any doubts regarding its future prospects, supercar startup Rezvani has announced that its new supercar, aptly named "Beast", has already gone into production. The Beast 500, based on the underpinnings of the Ariel Atom, will put out 500 horses from its 2.4-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It is reported to be extremely lightweight, weighing in at just 1,550. The power and weight combination will allow the Beast to accelerate from 0-60mph in 2.7-seconds.

Rezvani's first car will be built in South Carolina by DDM Works, an Ariel Atom specialist. The Beast Launch Edition will be priced at $124,000, with later models expected to begin at $139,000. The company is also offering a Beast 300 for $99,500.
