Seven. That’s how many Rezvani Dunes will exist. The California-based builder just revealed a supercharged, lifted Lamborghini Huracan that makes the factory Sterrato look like it was designed for a golf course parking lot.
The Dune starts with a Huracan and proceeds to obliterate every recognizable trace of it. The carbon fiber widebody is so aggressive that identifying the donor car requires a second look. A roof scoop crowns the whole package, and the suspension sits 4.5 inches higher than stock — nearly three times the lift Lamborghini gave its own Sterrato.
Those 31-inch all-terrain tires belong on a Raptor, not a mid-engine Italian exotic. And yet here they are, bolted to custom wheels on a car that still packs a 5.2-liter V10 behind the seats.
That V10, though, no longer breathes on its own. Rezvani partnered with VF Engineering to strap a supercharger to it, pushing output to 800 horsepower. Torque figures remain undisclosed, but the stock engine’s 413 pound-feet is the floor, not the ceiling.
Rezvani hasn’t announced pricing, but context helps. Lamborghini charged just under $280,000 for the Sterrato, and it moved all 1,499 of them without breaking a sweat. Porsche sold every one of its 2,500 911 Dakars. The appetite for supercars that can handle dirt is real and proven.
Whether a boutique builder from Irvine can tap that same vein at what will certainly be a steep premium is the open question. A refundable $1,500 deposit holds a spot. Each of the seven cars will be built to the buyer’s specifications, which in Rezvani’s world usually means military-grade accessories and an interior tailored to the owner’s particular brand of excess.
The company has made a business out of turning existing platforms into theatrical machines — their Tank SUV, their retro-themed 911 conversions — and charging handsomely for the audacity. The timing is deliberate. The Huracan is dead.
Lamborghini has moved on to the Temerario, its hybrid-assisted successor, and customer deliveries just started. At Goodwood earlier this month, Lamborghini’s sales chief Federico Foschini told Motor1 the Sterrato formula hasn’t been shelved, but any off-road Temerario variant is years away, if it happens at all.
That leaves a gap. A brief, narrow window where the only way to get a lifted V10 supercar with real off-road capability is through someone like Rezvani. The naturally aspirated Huracan V10 is already becoming a collector’s piece.
Forcing 800 horsepower through it and mounting the whole thing on truck tires is either mechanical sacrilege or the most entertaining use of a discontinued powertrain imaginable. Probably both.
Rezvani doesn’t have Lamborghini’s engineering budget, crash-test infrastructure, or brand gravity. It has nerve. The Dune exists because someone looked at a Huracan Sterrato and said “not enough.” Not enough lift, not enough power, not enough theater.
The off-road supercar niche remains tiny, but it’s no longer hypothetical. Lamborghini proved the demand. Porsche confirmed it. Rezvani is betting that seven wealthy buyers want something wilder than either company was willing to build — and that $1,500 is a small price to find out if they’re right.
