The Cadillac Escalade is a famous American SUV known for its luxury and style. However, Rezvani, a company known for extreme vehicle designs, decided to change its look completely. They transformed the Escalade into a vehicle called the Arsenal. Rezvani wanted a simpler and less flashy design, which resulted in a look that some might find a bit plain and similar to other vehicles.
As you move to the back of the vehicle, you can see that it has sharp body lines and a very solid, almost fortress-like appearance. It also has a unique rear door and rides on 22-inch wheels with big 35-inch tires. Even though the outside looks different, the inside of the Arsenal is much like the original Cadillac Escalade. This means it offers a lot of comfort and high-tech features and can seat either seven or eight people.
Inside, the Arsenal comes with heated seats for the front and second rows, a heated steering wheel, and a three-zone climate control system. The dashboard features a large curved OLED display that includes a 7.2-inch screen for driver information, a 14.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 16.9-inch screen for the infotainment system. The SUV also has a 19-speaker AKG audio system, a wireless phone charger, and a panoramic sunroof. Rezvani adds its own logo to the steering wheel and offers custom upholstery options, making the interior a bit more unique.
One of the special options for the Arsenal is the Military Edition Package. This package includes bulletproof glass and body armor, with the option to add lightweight composite armor that offers strong protection against bullets from rifles like the AR15 and AK47. This composite armor is lighter than the usual steel armor but still very strong.
The Arsenal comes with a powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower, which is standard. There is also an option for a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six engine. For those who want even more power, there is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 700 horsepower.
The Military Edition Package also includes features like reinforced suspension, protection against electromagnetic pulses, and run-flat tires that keep working even after being punctured. Additionally, it has a smoke screen, a pepper spray dispenser, electrified door handles, thermal night vision, an intercom system, and very bright lights to blind attackers.
Rezvani plans to make only 100 units of the Arsenal, and the starting price is $225,000. They are currently taking orders, and interested buyers need to pay a refundable deposit of $500 to reserve one.
