Rezvani Retro Branches Out
If the name Rezvani rings a bell, it may also remind you of hardcore military-inspired vehicles that look more like tanks than SUVs. But Rezvani Motors has a slightly softer side with its Rezvani Retro division, which has just unveiled its first project: RR1. The name is self-explanatory, and the looks are too. This isn't a restomod - it's a retromod, a modern car made to look like a classic. In this case, that classic is a motorsport-bred monster called the Porsche 935. In 1976, this arrived as a factory-backed racing version of the 930 911 Turbo as an evolution of the Carrera RSR 2.1 turbo prototype, which helped bring the 930 Turbo itself into existence. The later 935/77 had slant-nosed bodywork to take advantage of the "silhouette rules" that helped racers improve aero, and Rezvani originally considered this sort of look, but customers preferred the more cohesive appearance of the original, and that's what Rezvani has gone with for the RR1.
Two Flavors Still On Offer

Based on the 992 Porsche 911 (2020-2025) but made to look considerably older with its small round headlights and wider, mostly carbon fiber body (with the exception of the doors), the Rezvani Retro RR1 offers either a manual or a PDK dual-clutch transmission and up to 750 horsepower, and just 50 examples will be produced in total, each with its chassis number inscribed in the livery. This first example, headed to a California customer, is dressed in the iconic Martini livery, just without the liquor brand's name and gold accents (though there is a golden hue to the exhaust tips). It's the perfect choice for the first RR1 since the livery was especially popular among racing Porsches in the 1970s, and even the aforementioned Carrera RSR prototype wore the trademark blue and red color scheme.

If you opt for the RR1 600, you start out with a 992 Carrera (RWD or AWD) to get around 618 hp on 91 octane from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six (more with higher octane fuel) that breathes through a custom exhaust, while Öhlins TTX-Pro coilovers bring the car closer to the ground. This option can be specced with a manual transmission operated through a handmade shift knob made from wood, like the Carrera GT and the 908/03 Spyder before it. The RR1 750, on the other hand, starts with a 911 Turbo S and produces as much horsepower as its name suggests. Naturally, this one comes only in PDK flavor without the option of RWD, but you can choose from a street or track suspension setup. The RR1 600 gets to 60 mph in three seconds flat, and the RR1 750 does it in two, but the appeal of the lighter and optionally RWD, manual RR1 600 may be greater than the acceleration of the Turbo-based model.
Other Choices

Naturally, the interior can be customized to the customer's tastes, and Rezvani will fit a steering wheel with shift lights for $4,500, but beware of how much you spend and how track-focused you make the RR1. The base car starts at $195,000, with coilovers priced at $8,500, a center-lock wheel hub conversion at $12,500, and upgraded Brembo six-piston brakes for another $12,500. Turbo fan wheel covers add $4,500, PTS paint costs $8,500, a custom livery will set you back $7,500, and a steel roll cage costs $5,500. You can even order a matching racing helmet for $2,750, but tick every box on the list, and you'll be spending at least $283,000. Still, a real 935 costs at least seven figures.
