Rezvani, the American manufacturer known for creating armored-aesthetic vehicles, has unveiled the Dune. This all-wheel-drive supercar takes the concept of an 'off-road supercar' to an extreme level.
Based on the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, the Dune model has extremely restricted production, limited to only seven units globally. It delivers 811 hp, features a ground clearance of nearly 28 cm, and uses 31-inch tires specifically designed to handle mud.
The launch of the Dune occurs at a strategic time, as the original Huracán has been discontinued, and the Sterrato, its factory version aimed at rough terrain, is also no longer being produced. This absence created demand for a V10-powered supercar ready to leave the asphalt, a gap that the California company seeks to fill with this project.
Unlike the Sterrato, which was a balance between asphalt and light dirt, the Dune focuses entirely on off-road performance. Its body has been extensively rebuilt in carbon fiber and features widened fenders, increasing the total width to 2.23 meters. The vehicle also incorporates functional air intakes on the hood, auxiliary LED headlights installed on the roof and grille, tow hooks, and a snorkel to ensure clean air intake in dusty environments.
The increased height is provided by a custom long-travel suspension, raising the car by 11.4 cm compared to the standard Huracán, or approximately 15 cm when considering the larger tires mounted on 20-inch wheels. The undercarriage is protected by armored plates, and the approach and departure angles reach 25 and 35 degrees, respectively. Furthermore, a terrain management system allows the driver to select specific modes for different surfaces, such as sand, mud, rocks, snow, urban use, and Baja-style driving.
The Huracán's naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine has been modified with a positive displacement compressor, developed in collaboration with VF Engineering. This results in a power jump to 811 hp and 108.5 kgfm of torque, representing an increase of about 200 hp compared to the Sterrato's 610 hp. The four-wheel drive distribution is handled by a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Although the final price has not been disclosed, Rezvani is already accepting reservation orders with a refundable deposit of US$1,500, guaranteeing that each unit will be customized according to the buyer's preferences. As a reference point, the original Huracán Sterrato cost around US$280,000. Due to the deep modifications, there is no guarantee that traditional Lamborghini technical assistance will cover components such as the engine, suspension, or carbon fiber body.

The Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion of Zimbabwe, Mutuli Ncube, announced that Zimbabwe has joined the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB). This step is expected to expand the country's access to development financing and investments.
According to the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services on the social network X, membership in the bank will improve access to financial resources for development, deepen economic cooperation with BRICS nations, and provide Zimbabwe with a more significant representation in global economic decision-making.
The New Development Bank was established in 2014 by countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and began its operations in 2015. It finances projects in infrastructure and sustainable development in both BRICS countries and other developing and emerging economies.
Zimbabwe applied to join the bank in 2023, with negotiations for its acceptance progressing toward early 2026. Furthermore, the country submitted an official statement expressing its desire to join the BRICS bloc itself.
