Rezvani unveiled the first-generation Tank in November 2017.[3] Around this time, Rezvani decided to cooperate with Jeep, which resulted in the Tank being developed on the Wrangler's platform.[4]

The first generation of the vehicle features a raw aesthetic with clearly defined wheel arches and aggressively styled body details. The rear part of the body is decorated with a hump with high-position LED rear lamps.[5] The Tank was powered by a 6.4 L 500 hp V8 engine, which worked with a manually controlled AWD drive and an automatic transmission.[6]

Rezvani unveiled the second-generation Tank in 2019. Two years after the premiere of the first-generation Tank, whose debut was quickly followed by the debut of a completely new generation Wrangler, Rezvani decided to build a new, second generation of the Tank, which was based on the JL model.[7]

Compared to its predecessor, the second-generation Tank gained a more voluminous body with a more pronounced silhouette, which was longer and with traditionally opening rear doors. The exterior details and the appearance of individual parts were completely redesigned. Standard equipment was also extensively revised.[8]

Like its predecessor, the second-generation Tank was distinguished by high-performance driving characteristics thanks to a sporty power unit. This time, the 6.2 L V8 Hemi engine from the Dodge Challenger has been revised to reach 1000 hp instead of the standard 840 hp. An alternative V6 engine with 285 hp is also offered.[9]
