PREVIEW

Forget speed bumps – this Lamborghini-based supercar is designed to tackle sand dunes.

The Rezvani Dune, created by California-based boutique manufacturer Rezvani Motors, takes the underpinnings of a Lamborghini Huracán and transforms them into an 800bhp off-road monster capable of charging across deserts, gravel tracks and rugged mountain trails.

With just seven examples planned, it is one of the world's rarest and most extreme performance cars.

Rezvani has given the V10-powered Huracán a dramatic makeover, fitting it with lifted suspension, huge all-terrain tyres and a bespoke carbon-fibre widebody inspired by desert racers.

Power comes from a supercharged 5.2-litre V10 producing up to 800bhp and driving all four wheels, while a bespoke suspension system lifts the car around six inches higher than a standard Huracán to help it tackle rough terrain.

Despite its rugged transformation, the Dune retains the drama of a traditional supercar, with its roaring V10 engine paired with genuine off-road capability.

Ferris Rezvani, founder and chief executive of Rezvani Motors, said: "Supercars have always been designed for perfect roads. We asked ourselves, 'What if they weren't?'

"Dune was created to combine the thrill of an exotic supercar with the confidence to tackle terrain that exotic cars would never survive."

Each of the seven cars will be hand-built to its owner's specification, with bespoke exterior colours, interior finishes and performance options available.
