It is slightly alarming how quickly ten years can pass. Rezvani, the California outfit best known for angular supercars and SUVs that look ready to survive the apocalypse, has now decided to look backwards, quite literally. Their latest creations, the RR1 600 and RR1 750, are not tanks, but rather 935-inspired Porsches based on the 992-generation 911.
The Numbers Game
The names are not code. The RR1 600 produces 600 BHP from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six. The turbos are larger, the internals have been tweaked, and Rezvani is being suspiciously vague about the details. Still, it is quick enough, 0 to 100 kmph in 3.0 seconds, which should be plenty for an early morning coffee run.
The RR1 750, on the other hand, starts life as a 911 Turbo S. Its 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six now produces 750 BHP and enough torque to make an aircraft carrier flinch, although Rezvani hasn’t quoted exact Nm figures. With all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, it reaches 100 kmph in just 2.0 seconds. That’s the sort of acceleration that makes you wonder if you left your stomach back at the start line.
Retro Looks, Modern Muscle
Rezvani has gone heavy on carbon fibre bodywork, channelling the spirit of the original Porsche 935 with broad arches, a flat nose, and a huge rear wing. It is retro in silhouette, but unmistakably modern in execution.
Track Day Extras
If you plan on visiting a racetrack rather than a Cars & Coffee meet, Rezvani offers a set of Öhlins TTX-Pro coilovers for ₹7.07 lakh. The options list is full of similar wallet-thinning items. Centre-lock wheels cost ₹10.39 lakh, carbon-fibre wheel covers are ₹3.74 lakh, and upgraded Brembo brakes match the cost of the wheels. Intercoolers or auxiliary radiators are priced at ₹2.91 lakh each.
Exclusivity Guaranteed
Only 50 units will be made, each taking around four months to complete. Prices start at ₹1.62 crore, but there is a catch: that does not include the cost of the donor 992-generation 911 you must supply. Consider it a collaboration among you, Rezvani, your bank manager, and the Indian government (for additional import tax).
Conclusion
Rezvani has taken Porsche’s modern 911 and dressed it up in 935 nostalgia while turning the performance dial to “slightly unhinged”. Whether you choose the 600 or the 750, you are buying into exclusivity, engineering flair, and an appearance that will leave even Porsche purists a little confused — and possibly impressed.
