This is Rezvani’s carbon-bodied 600bhp retro Porsche

You may remember last year Rezvani announced its intention to give 992-gen Porsche 911s a retro restyling to pay homage to the old 935. Yep, the very same Rezvani that usually spends its time building 1,000bhp armoured SUVs that could survive the apocalypse.

And would you look at this. They’ve only gone and done it. This is the very first Rezvani Retro RR1, built for a client in California and decked out in a full Martini-esque livery.

Quite the looker, isn’t it? Rezvani said that apart from the doors, the whole body is now carbon fibre, and you’ll notice it has altered the design slightly from its first renders to include brilliantly retro round lights.

Based on the 992-gen 911, two different options will be available for customers who bring in their car for customisation. The one you see here is the RR1 600, which means it’s based on a standard Carrera but with upgraded turbochargers in order to kick out at least 600bhp. The very first customer went with a manual gearbox too, and Rezvani has fitted a custom wooden knob among its many interior upgrades. Nice.

There’s also the option of the RR1 750, built on top of the 911 Turbo S and packing 750bhp, a PDK gearbox and all-wheel drive.

Both the 600 and the 750 also come with a custom Rezvani exhaust, and there’s the option of fancy Ohlins TTX-Pro coilovers. Excellent carbon fibre turbofan wheel covers, too.

Rezvani said it’ll build just 50 examples of the RR1, with prices starting from $195,000, excluding the base car.
