Rezvani Motors continues to fine-tune its strategy with the latest iteration of the Vengeance Escalade. This full-size SUV begins life as a Cadillac Escalade and then goes through a drastic metamorphosis to become a road-legal beast designed only for transporting high-priority persons. With the first six examples already claimed by the owner, they are no longer the sole owners of this exclusive club; a seventh build has emerged, this one focusing firmly on an interior that rivals those found in luxury aircraft, while maintaining everything, and we mean everything, in terms of security.
Aftermarket panels completely transform the Escalade’s body, rendering the original shape nearly unrecognizable. Up front, the matte gray paint stands out against new headlights and a revised front grille. Tow hooks, skid plates, and a modified hood precede the flared wheel arches, which make place for some extremely military-style bulging wide tires. Visible mass is added by extensive armor plating running along the sides of the car, which is not a pleasant sight, but this does not prevent the vehicle from traveling on public roads without special licenses.

Security features are delivered through a variety of carefully selected and extremely specific packages. You receive bulletproof glass and body armor to protect those terrible bullets from entering the vehicle. If you’re concerned about the underbelly being harmed by a roadside bomb, don’t be; there’s extra shielding underneath the car that will keep everything secure. If you suffer a puncture, the strengthened suspension will manage it and keep your car upright, and military-spec run-flat tyres provide peace of mind that you will be safe even if you have a flat. A thermal night vision system will keep an eye out for any danger lurking in the dark, a smoke screen system will provide instant cover if you need to get out of a tight spot quickly, and an electrified door handle will shock any potential intruders as they reach out to grab the door handle. An intercom system allows you to communicate with others outside. If you need to make a truly grand entry, you can add further choices such as strobe lights, sirens, blinding super-bright lights, and electromagnetic pulse protection. Of course, you’ll want a steel ram bumper at the front to help you push past any barriers in your path, as well as options for gas masks, first aid kits, and a built-in safe to hold all of your possessions.
The engine options provide drivers with the opportunity to experience a true high-performance ride under armor. You can opt for the standard 6.2-liter V8, which produces 420 horsepower and is teamed with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. If you want even more power, you may choose the supercharged version, which produces 650 horsepower, or the 810 horsepower, which provides full acceleration thrills. The good news is that even with all of this extra hardware, the ride remains as smooth and firm as a rock, even when fully laden with all of the protection gear.
Step inside the Rezvani’s executive layout, and everything changes. The regular seven-passenger configuration of this vehicle has been replaced by two sumptuous captain chairs in the back area that would rival a private jet. Each one can recline to a comfortable angle, has massaging capabilities to relieve tired muscles, and, as a lovely touch, has built-in heating and ventilation, as well as extended footrests, allowing you to kick back and relax on lengthy flights. There’s a built-in bar to keep you hydrated and energized, as well as a fridge to cool your champagne or wine to perfection. Retractable hardwood tables that slide out of the side panels can be used for working, eating, or simply playing around.
Plus, a couple of iPads and a large screen with Apple TV are attached on the back of the seats, allowing you to catch up on emails, video chat with the office, or simply stream a movie to pass the time. The fiber-optic lights in the headliner are set to produce a cool starry night impression, and the rich wood trim on the doors and dashboard adds the finishing touch. Don’t get me started on the two seats that fold down from the front bulkhead, which are ideal for helpers or security detail.
The starting price for this luxury behemoth is 285,000 dollars for the base model, which includes a standard V8 and basic seats. Want to turn the rear into a VIP area? That will cost you an additional $125,000 for the executive seating bundle. If you want the full package, including top-tier ballistic and explosive protection, the armor suite will set you back $145,000. Most purchasers prefer to go all out and add all the bells and whistles, and we’re talking about vehicles that may easily cost over $500,000.
