Revives the Iconic Porsche 935 Moby Dick: Rezvani's Carbon-Fiber RR1 Retro Coupe
Irvine-based automotive company, Rezvani Motors, has announced the launch of its latest creation – the Retro RR1 Coupe. This limited-edition vehicle pays tribute to the iconic Porsche 935, transforming a 992-generation 911 into a 1970s racing legend.
Each RR1 Coupe takes approximately 4 months to build, with production limited to just 50 examples worldwide. The base price for this unique vehicle is $195,000, although this figure does not include the cost of the 992 donor car.
The RR1 Coupe comes in two variants: a 600hp model with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six engine and a choice between a manual transmission or PDK, and a more aggressive 750hp variant based on the Turbo S platform with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine.
The vehicle's design includes round headlights that evoke the golden era of racing, an almost entirely carbon-fiber body for lightweight performance, and metal doors for structural integrity. The RR1 Coupe's bodywork captures the original's wide stance and aerodynamic purpose, complete with an aggressive "Moby Dick" whale tail and impossibly wide hips.
Optional features include Öhlins TTX-Pro coilovers and Brembo GT-S brakes for enhanced performance, while the turbo-fan wheel covers serve dual purposes by enhancing the retro aesthetic and improving aerodynamics. The RR1 Coupe rides on staggered wheels (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) wearing high-performance rubber.
The carbon-fiber bodywork of the RR1 Coupe is sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency, directing airflow for both cooling and downforce. Inside, buyers can customize the interior, livery work, and options to ensure no two builds share identical DNA.
Rezvani Motors, founded by Ferris Rezvani in 2013, specialises in building street-legal vehicles with visually arresting designs. The company's new Retro division focuses on creating cars that embody motorsport heritage. The first customer car of the RR1 Coupe features a Martini-inspired livery with blue and red racing stripes.
For those interested in the RR1 Coupe, each build slot is available through Rezvani's configurator. While specific details about the price range and production limit for the Rezvani Retro RR1 Coupe could not be found in the search results, it is clear that this vehicle offers a unique blend of modern performance and classic racing design.
