If you just need the extent of the polygon and not the actually polygon itself, then you can set the analysis extent to the desired shape.  If you actually need a rectangle, you can create a featureclass/shapefile with a python script.  What approach do you need?

I need to create a rectangle over an exsisting polygon. This rectangle must be 4 times bigger than existing polygon.

You can do the math and create a featureclass in the normal way specifying the points that produce the proportional area you need.  There a number of point combinations that one could create and the will be affected by the desired width and/or height you choose.  You will be constrained in both directions by the diameter of the circle, but you can scale the height and width to a accommodate your desired area
