The poster Porsche 935 woke up, donned carbon fiber, and moved to a 992 chassis. The Rezvani Retro RR1 is a retro halo-suit with a serious technical core – available as a 600 or 750 “horsepower” roller coaster.

Rezvani Retro RR1 je conversion yours Porsche 992 into a retro rocket that pays homage to the legendary 935 from the seventies. The bodywork is mostly carbonic, the doors remain donor (for geometry and safety reasons), everything else is newly designed: wide wings, a lid with striking slots, central exhaust and round headlights at the front that hint at the first generation 911The series is limited to 50 copies, production takes approximately four months – and this is not a “kit”, but a complete one coachbuilt approach.

Engine, power and transmissions

RR1 comes in two flavors:
RR1-600: 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer from Careers with 447 kW (600 hp) and 706 Nm (521 lb-ft). 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.0 sHere you can choose 7-speed manual or PDKThe drive is after the starting point RWDbecause the base is Carrera.
RR1-750: 3.8-liter twin-turbo from Turbo S from to 559 kW (750 hp) in the “track” setting or 534 kW (715 hp) in “street” configuration. 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 2.0 s, gearbox PDK, drive AWD.
Rezvani doesn't list official torque figures for the 750s - which is fair. Rather accurate than inflated.

Final speed (honest answer)

Final speeds at launch they did not stateWe can assume that it will be “somewhere out there very soon”, but that would be a lottery. Better a loud exhaust than loud guesses.

Design: 935 in a smoke-free era

Wide bodykit it's not just a pose. The sharp but clean fender transitions, low "shoulders" and rear with central exit exhaust mean the RR1 looks like it just rolled off the start line at Le Mans. Headlights with heritage they are visual homage without costumes – retro, without compromising modern aerodynamicsIf you're looking for attention, you'll get it before the engine starts.

Chassis, wheels and brakes: traction as an argument

The RR1 is based on a combination of 20-inch (20×10.0) front and 21-inch (21×13.0) behind. He is wearing 275/35 R20 front and greasy 335/30 R21 behind. They take care of the bite Brembo GT-S with 6-piston calipers and 380×34mm discs. In practice, this means a quieter nose under braking and that “locked in” feel during quick changes of direction that you expect from a 992 – except here it comes in a retro tuxedo.

Cabin: retro flavor, modern tools

The interior remains useful 992, which is a compliment, not an excuse. You can add vintage inserts seats, special steering wheel and gearshift covers (also wooden gear knob for romantics), personalized colored threads and graphics. Old school looks, 21st century ergonomics – infotainment, security systems and air conditioning remain as good as in the donor.

Options and sweets

Since it is handmade, the catalog was supplemented with a delightfully crazy addition: Öhlins TTX-Pro adjustable shock absorbers ($8,500), center lock conversion ($12,500), carbon “turbofan” lids ($4,500), polycarbonate lenses ($2,700), steel safety cage ($5,500), special paintings (from 2.500 to 7,500 USD) and upgrade Brembo GT-S ($12,500). It is even available themed helmet ($2,750), because drama requires a costume.

How is it bought - and for how much?

Retro RR1 it's not a new car, but conversion of your 992 (2020–present). The price of transformation is $195,000donor Porsche not included – and applies to RR1-600 and RR1-750The production time is approximately 4 monthsThis is the type of purchase where you don't bring the key to the dealer, but your car to the workshop, from where it returns disguised as poster material.

The Reality of Ownership and the Fine Print

Rezvani not related to Porsche and the project is not an “approved release” – it is an independent transformation. RR1 is primarily intended for the track, but it can also be configured for road use (depending on local homologation). This is important because this type of conversion is mainly an emotional project with a lot of technical integrity.

Family Tree: Beast, Tank and now Retro

If your name is known by Beast or apocalyptic Tank, RR1 reveals another side of the house – the department Retro, where history is not a museum exhibit, but a raw material. It's not just copy-paste - it's interpretation, with all the benefits that today's mechanics bring.

Conclusion: Rezvani Retro RR1

Rezvani Retro RR1 killed two birds with one stone: heart and numbers. Heart, because it is about sincere tribute 935, and numbers, because they are 447 kW (600 hp) respectively 559 kW (750 hp) (or 534 kW/715 hp in “street” setting) enough to wipe the asphalt with a smile. 0–97 km/h in 3.0 seconds (600) or 2.0 seconds (750) explains why it is necessary Brembo GT-S and the rubber width adjacent to the artillery. Manual transmission at 600 it is gift for romantics, PDK at 750 it is gift of a chronometer. The final speed remains undivided – right. In a time when we are making up a lot of things, it is nice that someone prefers to remain silent until they measure it. $195,000 There's no change for a conversion without a donor car, but you get unique: 992, disguised as 935 with guarantee, with carbon bodywork, type options Öhlins TTX-Pro and center lock, and the precision that a modern platform brings. If you are looking for retro that really drives, and not only retro, which is painted, RR1 is currently one of the most interesting tickets to the “what if” club.
