Reviving the Iconic Porsche 935 Moby Dick: Rezvani's Carbon-Fiber RR1 Retro Coupe Resurrects a Classic
Introducing the Rezvani Retro RR1 Coupe: A Limited-Edition Homage to the Porsche 935
The automotive world is abuzz with excitement about the latest offering from Rezvani Motors – the Retro RR1 Coupe. This limited-edition vehicle, with a production run of just 50 units, pays tribute to the iconic Porsche 935 while offering modern performance and customization options.
Priced from $195,000 (excluding the required donor Porsche 911), the RR1 Coupe is an investment that can go up to around $700,000 with maximum specifications and options. The base model starts at an accessible price point, but the sky's the limit when it comes to personalizing this stunning machine.
Under the hood, the RR1 Coupe comes in two variants: a 600hp model with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six engine and a 750hp variant based on the Turbo S platform with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter engine. Both versions promise exhilarating acceleration, with the 600hp model reaching 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, and the 750hp variant achieving the same feat in a breathtaking 2.0 seconds.
The RR1 Coupe's carbon-fiber body, featuring round headlights that resemble the original design, is sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency. The turbo-fan wheel covers not only enhance the retro aesthetic but also improve aerodynamics, directing airflow for both cooling and downforce.
Optional Öhlins TTX-Pro coilovers are available to enhance stopping power, while Brembo GT-S brakes are an optional feature to match the acceleration force. The RR1 Coupe rides on staggered wheels (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) wearing high-performance rubber.
Buyers can customize the interior to their preferences, from bespoke interiors to custom livery work. The first customer car of the RR1 Coupe showcases a Martini-inspired livery with blue and red racing stripes.
Founded by Ferris Rezvani in 2013, Rezvani Motors has built a reputation for creating visually striking street-legal machines. Celebrity clients like Chris Brown and Jamie Foxx have shown interest in Rezvani's vehicles, adding to the brand's allure.
While the detailed build duration is not explicitly stated, given the car's bespoke nature, limited production, and high customization, the build time is typically several months.
The RR1 Coupe is more than just a fast car; it's a piece of automotive history in the making. With its limited production run and customizable features, this retro-inspired supercar is sure to turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
