- Production of the RR1 will be capped at just 50 units, and it’s available in two guises.
- The base RR1 600 is based on the Carrera T, while the RR1 750 is based on the Turbo S.
- Rezvani Retro’s 911 conversion starts at $195,000, excluding the cost of the donor car.
Six months after being previewed with a series of detailed renderings, the RR1 from Rezvani has been unveiled in full ahead of Monterey Car Week. Created through a new division known as Rezvani Retro, the RR1 is looking to cash in on demand for modified Porsche 911s.
Retro-Inspired Design
On first impressions, you could be excused for thinking the RR1 was a classic 911 that has been modernized and upgraded. That’s not the case. Instead, the RR1 is based on a current 911, which takes design cues from 911s of yesteryear. This is most apparent from the front, where the car has retro-inspired headlights, a new grille, and unique black air intakes.

This particular example, the first of 50 bound for production, features a lovely Martini Racing-inspired white, blue, and red racing livery, complete with the number ‘1’ on the hood and doors. The RR1 also sits on a set of intricate new wheels complete with bright red aero covers to aid in aerodynamics, and also add to the looks.
Extensive changes have been made to the car’s rear, with the rear quarter panels being all-new, flowing gracefully into a large fixed wing. Rezvani Retro has also designed an all-new bumper, diffuser, and tailpipes.
The upgrades continue into the cabin. A new flat-bottomed steering wheel immediately catches the eye, as does new blue and red cloth upholstery on the seat centers. Two analog Tag Heuer timepieces have also been added to the RR1’s dashboard. There are also new carpets, a dashboard plaque, and a wooden gear knob.
Performance and Pricing
The base RR1 600 is built around the Porsche 911 Carrera T, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder with 600 hp and rear-wheel drive. It can be optioned with a six- or seven-speed manual or a PDK transmission. Then there’s the RR1 750, which is based on the 911 Turbo S and has a 3.8-liter twin-turbo six with 750 hp. It’s sold exclusively with a PDK and all-wheel drive.
The cost of each conversion starts at $195,000, not including the price of the donor car.
