Rezvani Dune: внедорожный суперкар с компрессорным V10 на базе Lamborghini Huracan

American company Rezvani Motors has unveiled a striking new model with a carbon fibre body, whose voluptuous forms make it difficult to discern the original Lamborghini Huracan beneath. The Italian car's chassis has been comprehensively upgraded for high-speed off-road driving, and a supercharger has been bolted onto the 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine.

The mid-engined Lamborghini Huracan supercar, produced from 2014 to 2024, had a limited factory off-road version called the Sterrato, but the Rezvani Dune is a different beast altogether: a true off-road monster in the spirit of rally raid cars. Rezvani has not disclosed which version of the Huracan serves as the basis for the Dune — likely one of the purely road-going variants. In any case, the extent of the modifications is very substantial.

All of the Rezvani Dune's exterior panels are new, made from carbon fibre, and the signature armouring typical of Rezvani off-roaders is not offered here, as dynamic performance takes priority. The headlights and taillights are also new, with three additional powerful LED spotlights positioned between the headlights. A wide air intake runs along the centre of the roof, with substantial roof rails fitted at the edges. The rear features two large exhaust outlets, echoing the LED rings of the taillights. The car's width reaches 2,235 mm.

The Rezvani Dune also gets a new chassis, with reinforced control arms, a wider track, significantly increased suspension travel, and high-energy-absorbing dampers. Ground clearance, thanks to 31-inch knobbly tyres mounted on 20-inch wheels, has been increased by 152 mm to 279 mm, with an approach angle of 25 degrees and a departure angle of 35 degrees. The underbody is protected by metal plates.

On the standard Lamborghini Huracan, the 5.2-litre petrol naturally aspirated V10 engine produces a maximum of 640 hp and 600 Nm (on the Sterrato version: 610 hp and 565 Nm), whereas on the Rezvani Dune, thanks to the addition of a supercharger, its output has been increased to 811 hp and 1,064 Nm. The gearbox is standard — a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. All-wheel drive is claimed to be permanent, but its configuration has not been disclosed. On the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, power to the front wheels is distributed via a Haldex coupling, and the rear differential is supplemented by a mechanical lock. The driver of the Rezvani Dune has several driving modes at their disposal, including settings for sand, mud, snow, and rocks.

The interior of the Rezvani Dune is essentially the same as that of the Lamborghini Huracan, but with new leather and suede upholstery, round ventilation vents instead of hexagonal ones, and a Rezvani emblem on the steering wheel hub in place of the Lamborghini badge.

Rezvani plans to produce only seven examples of the Dune; the price has not yet been announced, but pre-orders can be placed with a modest initial deposit of $1,500.
