At the same time, a number of other improvements were timed to change the aggregate base - the all-terrain vehicle was "refreshed" while maintaining the same proportions, and a new interior was separated, and the "top" version was "armed" with a powerful engine of more than 1000 hp.
Outside, the "second" Rezvani Tank fully corresponds to its name - its appearance is made in the style of a conventionally military off-road vehicle with expressive and maximally brutal outlines that instantly attract the eye.
