Built on the 992 platform, the Rezvani RR1 blends retro Porsche 935 looks with modern engineering and serious performance in a 50-car production run.
If you’ve ever stared at an old Porsche 935 poster and thought, “What if that could exist today?” the all-new Rezvani Retro RR1 answers that question. It’s a futuristic four-wheel creation born out of nostalgia, but built with today’s tech. Based on the current Porsche 992 generation chassis, the RR1 takes design cues from the aggressive styling of Porsche’s 1970s race car, complete with a wide body, center-exit exhaust, and headlights that pay homage to the original 911 design. But this isn’t just a retro body kit, it’s a ground-up reinterpretation of a motorsport legend with serious engineering tucked underneath and a healthy dose of carbon fiber to keep weight low.
One local California buyer was hooked the second he saw it, saying it reminded him of the exact poster he had on his bedroom wall as a teenager. That connection to the past is what the RR1 taps into so well. Rezvani kept the soul of the 935 intact while updating the platform with today’s performance and comfort. The body itself is mostly carbon fiber, with the exception of the factory doors from the 992. It’s built either on the Carrera or Turbo S models, depending on which trim you go for, and both come with manual or PDK options. The 600 model leans more into the driver-focused side of things, while the 750 trim is for drivers chasing big numbers.
Performance-wise, the 600-horsepower version uses a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six with upgraded internals, while the 750-horsepower version is built off the Turbo S platform and delivers power through all four wheels. Depending on how deep you want to go, there’s a menu of options to fine-tune it, like Ohlins TTX-Pro coilovers, upgraded brakes, center-lock wheels, and all sorts of custom touches like a wooden shift knob or vintage-inspired seat inserts. It’s not trying to be the fastest car in the world, but instead, it’s just aiming to be your perfect version of a dream car that once lived on your wall.
What makes the RR1 especially cool is how it strikes a balance between being a tribute and being completely usable as a functional daily driver. It’s not some stripped-down race car that’s unbearable on real roads, nor is it just a visual throwback. With a four-month build time and a limit of only 50 units, there’s definitely a bespoke aspect to the whole process. But it’s still built around the bones of a 992, so it feels familiar if you’ve driven a modern 911. In a world full of overdone restomods and sky-high horsepower wars, the RR1 keeps things grounded by focusing on something simple, making the dream car from your youth finally drivable today.
