New Rezvani Fortress: a tactical SUV based on the Ford F-150 Raptor
Rezvani has officially unveiled the new Fortress SUV. This model is based on the Ford F-150 Raptor and is positioned as a “tactical off-road SUV.” The vehicle offers optional armor and protection systems.
Design and exterior features
The Fortress continues the Tank and Vengeance lineup, featuring an aggressive, angular design, as if from a futuristic video game. Up front, a massive bumper, minimalist grille, and a unique hood with functional air intakes stand out.

These are complemented by auxiliary lights and unique fenders with high ground clearance. The latter allow for the installation of 17, 18, or 20-inch wheels, shod in 37 or 40-inch off-road tires.
Other features include an angular body, a four-tip exhaust system, and unique taillights. The model is also equipped with an off-road suspension that provides up to 15 inches (381 mm) of ground clearance.
Interior and armor options
While the exterior is unique, the cabin resembles a standard Ford. However, there are Rezvani logos on the steering wheel and seats. The seats are also unique to this vehicle and are available in more than ten different designs.
In addition to visual effects, Rezvani offers an armor package costing $85,000. It includes armored body panels, bulletproof glass, blast-resistant underbody protection, and a reinforced fuel tank. These are complemented by a reinforced suspension and “military Run-Flat tires.”
Customers can also order a safety package for $42,000, which adds electrified door handles, a smoke screen system, and blinding strobe lights. Other features include reinforced bumpers, a pepper spray dispenser, and an electromagnetic pulse protection package.
Off-grid package
There is also an Off-Grid package costing $14,500, which includes a portable power station and solar panels. These are complemented by a gas generator, a water storage system, an air compressor, a refrigerator, satellite internet, and “long-range radio stations.”
Engines and transmission
Since the pickup is based on the F-150 Raptor, it is offered with two different engines: a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and a supercharged 5.2-liter V8. The former produces 450 hp (336 kW / 456 PS), while the latter develops 850 hp (634 kW / 862 PS) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque.
Both engines are paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. The vehicle also features a front limited-slip differential and a locking rear differential.
Price and limitations
The starting price is $285,000, and production is reportedly limited to 100 units.
The Rezvani Fortress is a logical continuation of the company’s line of extreme SUVs, combining military aesthetics with real survival capabilities. While the price may seem sky-high, it includes not only a powerful engine and unique design but also options that make this vehicle a true “bunker on wheels.” Amid growing interest in protected vehicles, the Fortress offers not just luxury but also practical safety for those willing to invest significant funds in it.
