Probably gonna get some people saying it's meh/uncool because it's just another supercar, and I was inclined to agree at first too. But despite the steep price it seems more in line with what car enthusiasts who dislike supercars say they lack, being super light and manual everything. It's like the Gordon Murray cars but on the $100k scale rather than $millions one. So It's cool I guess.

I had no idea Rezvani made a car, I thought they just made those tacti-cool SUV things.

Oh hey. Another six figure, rebodied Lotus boutique car that you've never heard of before and will never hear about again after you click away from this page.

We had so many of these in the mid to late 2010's that I can't even really bring myself to care. At least this one is actually being produced though, so I'll admit that's a step up from most of the others of its kind.

Good design is meh design

 

[MisterWaffles]

I think this one deserves a cool.

It's a solid design on two proven and well-built chassis, it's lightweight, makes plenty of power. It's a looker at least in my opinion.

Not to mention it's got plenty of track car chops still, but it's more usable than an Atom due to the (optional) Coupe bodywork.

This Rezvani Beast is a beast! The name of the car says so! Seriously, though, this car has more Audi R8 road car influence in its design than its Ariel and its Lotus base. It has a clean style of aggression without being over-the-top aggressive (like the Toyota MKV Supra). I'm going to give it a (very strong) Cool, but not quite enough to get a Sub-Zero vote from me.

 

[Centroid]

Lightweight sports cars are inherently cool. Good looking ones doubly so. This does not quite meet the SZ bar but Cool overall.

Get a few more votes on this one before it closes. How has no one replied since the thread was 3 days old? I guess it really is meh, lol.
