Custom/homebuilt pattern — intensifying

  • Rezvani Beast X — 5-unit boutique hypercar, custom-built engine, maker absent from DB entirely.
  • Peregryn/Ultima GT-R — the ultimate custom-entry case: Ultima = legendary kit-car platform now factory-built by a US startup; 700 hp, 2,100 lb; not representable in DB.
  • Novitec 12Cilindri Spider — tuner kit (866 hp variant per Novitec; stock 830 hp) — tuner conversions of DB cars keep appearing.

  • Non-DB makers tally now 30+ (add Rezvani make-level, Peregryn, Ultima, Leapmotor, Kosmera, Geely). Free-text Make/Model/HP + Custom/Homebuilt path on registration form is mandatory — every scan now surfaces 2-4 vehicles a dropdown-only form rejects.
