Rezvani Dark Knight — Armored Lamborghini Urus with Up to 1,000 HP

Californian tuner Rezvani Motors has taken its ballistic-armor formula and applied it to the Lamborghini Urus. The result is the Rezvani Knight, a full carbon-fibre coach-build limited to 100 examples, and with the top-tier Dark Knight package it is easily the closest thing to a road-legal Batmobile currently for sale. Rezvani now lists the Dark Knight tune at up to 1,000 hp from Lamborghini’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (up to 800 hp was quoted at launch), the sprint to 60 mph is still 3.0 seconds, and Sant’Agata’s all-wheel-drive platform is untouched underneath — but everything you can see and touch above it has been re-engineered.

Unlike Rezvani’s better-known Tank Wrangler-based tactical SUV, the Knight starts life as a customer-supplied Lamborghini Urus. Rezvani strips the body, wraps the chassis in carbon fibre and composite ballistic armor, and specs the interior to tactical standard. Base conversion runs $149,000 on top of the donor Urus, with the Dark Knight package plus full armor pushing a finished car well past $400,000. This article focuses exclusively on the Knight — the Urus-based coach-build — and its Dark Knight tactical specification.

Rezvani Knight vs Lamborghini Urus — What Actually Changes

The starting point is any second-generation Lamborghini Urus (Urus, Urus S, Urus Performante or Urus SE). Rezvani retains the aluminium space-frame chassis, the MLB Evo platform mechanicals, the 8-speed ZF automatic and the standard AWD system with Torsen centre differential. Everything else — body panels, lighting, interior trim, wheel and tire package — is replaced.

The exterior is a full carbon-fibre wide-body kit with a redesigned front fascia carrying four LED headlight blocks in a signature quad arrangement, a deep front splitter, muscular fender flares over 22-inch forged wheels, and a reprofiled rear diffuser. Rezvani’s designers explicitly reference Bruce Wayne’s Tumbler in the fascia’s angular geometry and blacked-out surfacing Top Gear. The stock Urus tire package is replaced with 33-inch all-terrain rubber on the 22-inch forged wheels — a substantial off-road capability upgrade over the road-biased Pirelli setup Sant’Agata ships.

Up to 1,000 HP Twin-Turbo V8, 0–60 mph in 3.0 Seconds

The Knight retains the Urus’ 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. The base Knight leaves the engine standard (641 hp in Urus S, 657 hp in Performante trim), while the Dark Knight is offered with a Rezvani software and hardware package. At launch in May 2025 that package was quoted at up to 800 hp (Car and Driver); Rezvani’s current product pages list the Dark Knight at up to 1,000 hp from the same twin-turbo V8 (Rezvani Motors).

The two figures are not a contradiction so much as a moving target: output depends on the customer-supplied donor and the tuning stage ordered, and Rezvani has never published a certified power curve for either level. The constant across both specifications is 0–60 mph in 3.0 seconds and all-wheel drive, quoted unchanged despite the armor mass.

The 8-speed automatic is retained. Rezvani lists optional upgraded brake pads and suspension calibration for buyers who order the full armor package and heavier tactical hardware, but does not offer an alternative engine, transmission or drivetrain. The stock Urus AWD system, active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering all remain in place, which preserves the Urus’ on-road dynamics — the reason Rezvani chose the platform in the first place Car and Driver.

Dark Knight Package — Armor, Ballistic Glass, Blast Protection

The Dark Knight package is Rezvani’s top defensive specification for the Knight. Its core is a composite ballistic armor kit with plates behind the doors, roof, firewall and rear bulkhead, multi-laminate bullet-resistant glass, and an underbody plate against explosive devices (Rezvani Motors).

One clarification worth making, because most coverage skips it: Rezvani does not publish a ballistic classification for the Knight. The company lists “bullet proof glass and body armor” without a rating, and reporting at launch noted that the exact B6 or B7 level was never specified; other Rezvani models have been offered with B6-class armor, and the Tank Military Edition has been demonstrated with B7-rated glass (TechEBlog). Treat any specific rating quoted for a Knight as a build-sheet question for Rezvani rather than a published figure.

Reinforced door hinges, upgraded runflat tire inserts and a strengthened B-pillar allow the Knight to keep the Urus’ on-road manners while carrying the added mass. Rezvani estimates the fully armored Knight weighs approximately 6,000 lb (2,720 kg) — roughly 1,100 lb over the stock Urus S, which is why the 22-inch forged wheels and revised brake pads are part of the specification rather than an option HiConsumption.

Night Vision, Smoke Screen, Electrified Door Handles — Tactical Countermeasures

Beyond passive armor sits an active countermeasure package that reads directly from a Batmobile order sheet. Standard content on the Dark Knight includes:

• Thermal night vision with a dashboard-mounted display
• Smoke screen system that vents dense obscurant behind the vehicle
• Electrified door handles that deliver a non-lethal shock to anyone gripping the exterior
• Gas masks stowed in the door pockets
• Pepper spray dispensers mounted below the sills
• Sirens and public-address speakers on request
• EMP protection for the ECU and drive-by-wire systems
• Blinding lights array on the front and rear
• Explosive detector in the cabin
• Hidden compartment integrated into the driver-side floor

Top Gear singled out the electrified door handles as “the sort of thing you’d expect Q Branch to fit to a Bond car,” and it is precisely the presence of these features — not just the armor — that separates the Knight from the many armored Urus conversions available from traditional armoring specialists. The Knight is engineered around active countermeasures from the start.

Rezvani Knight Full Specification Table

Batman Connection — Why the Dark Knight Reads Like a Wayne Enterprises Order

The Knight’s specification list mirrors the design language of every canonical Batmobile: ballistic armor, bullet-resistant glass, run-flat tactical tires, night vision, blinding lights, smoke screen, pepper spray, gas masks, electrified handles, EMP protection, hidden compartments. Each of these appears, in some form, on Christopher Nolan’s Tumbler (2005–2012), Tim Burton’s 1989 Batmobile, and Matt Reeves’ 2022 muscle-car Batmobile.

Rezvani doesn’t market the Knight explicitly as a Batmobile replica, but the name of the top package — Dark Knight — and the black-on-black default configuration make the association unavoidable. HiConsumption describes the Knight as “an apocalypse-ready Lamborghini Urus,” and Car Throttle’s coverage explicitly ran the headline “Part Lamborghini Urus, part Batmobile.” The Knight belongs on the same shortlist as the Nolan Tumbler as a road-legal continuation of the Batmobile idea — not a screen prop, but a car you could actually order and drive to work.

How Much Does the Rezvani Dark Knight Cost?

The short answer: the conversion alone starts at $149,000 and the donor car is your problem. Rezvani accepts any second-generation Urus (Urus, Urus S, Urus Performante, Urus SE), strips it, converts it and returns it; the $149,000 does not include the Urus, described in launch coverage as a quarter-million-dollar car (Car and Driver). Some coverage of the same launch quotes $159,000 as the conversion entry point (Carscoops), so read $149,000–$159,000 as the realistic starting band.

Because the armor package is quoted individually and the donor is bought separately, there is no single list price for a Dark Knight. Anyone budgeting should price the Urus first, then the conversion, then the defensive hardware — in that order.

Is the Rezvani Dark Knight Street Legal?

Yes, with the usual conversion caveats. The Knight starts as a road-registered Lamborghini Urus that already meets federal requirements, and Rezvani sells its armored vehicles as street-legal civilian machines rather than restricted equipment — the position the company also takes with the Wrangler-based Tank (Kelley Blue Book).

Three details do change with a converted car: the armored glass and plating add mass that affects braking and tire load ratings, some countermeasures such as strobe lights and sirens are regulated locally, and armored vehicles face export and import restrictions in several markets. Rezvani ships internationally subject to those rules, so homologation is settled per country rather than globally.

Availability and Ordering Process

Production is capped at 100 examples globally. Delivery lead times are quoted at 4–6 months after the donor arrives at Rezvani’s Irvine, California facility, and build slots are reserved on order confirmation with a non-refundable deposit. Rezvani will ship finished cars internationally, subject to local homologation and armored-vehicle import restrictions TopSpeed.

Rezvani Knight vs Rezvani Tank — One-Line Distinction

Rezvani’s other well-known tactical SUV, the Tank, is a different vehicle entirely: it is built on a Jeep Wrangler chassis, offered with V6, Hellcat V8 and Demon V8 engines up to 1,000 hp, and priced from $175,000 for the standard 2026 Tank. The Tank is an off-road brute; the Knight is a supercar-fast on-road coach-build. Different platforms, different missions — and only the Knight covered here is Urus-based.
