If you’re after a 911 that screams exclusivity without turning into an expensive circus, the Rezvani RR1 is your beast. It combines insane power with a retro interior that gives a slap of class over fleeting touchscreen trends. And yes, the conversion price starts at $195,000 — excluding the donor car — so get your wallet and heart ready.
What changes inside the RR1 and why does it matter now?
The RR1 revives analog charm with two Tag Heuer pieces embedded in the dashboard, a new flat-top steering wheel, exclusive mats, a unique badge on the dashboard, and even a wooden gear knob — details that tell a story without looking like cosplay. It’s functional design, tactile, with a “wow, that’s different” vibe. For the full scope and brand positioning, check out the Rezvani Motors page.
The seats feature a new fabric upholstery in blue and red in the center, a bold choice that breaks free from the all-black cliché. This “retro-racer” style appeals to those who value heritage and steering without flashy electronics — something you see in purist Porsches, including luxury electrified setups like the Porsche Panamera 4 E‑Hybrid 2025.
RR1 600 or RR1 750: which version suits your profile?
The RR1 600 is based on the 911 Carrera T and uses a 3.0 twin-turbo flat-six tuned to 600 hp with rear-wheel drive. You can choose between a 6- or 7-speed manual or a PDK, great for those who want to shift manually or hunt every tenth on the stopwatch. The mechanical foundation and transmission options come from the 911 ecosystem, detailed on the Porsche 911 international page.
Want even more power? The RR1 750 is based on the 911 Turbo S with a 3.8 twin-turbo producing 750 hp, PDK, and all-wheel drive — heavy artillery for brutal acceleration and straight-line performance. This setup challenges modern hybrid super sports cars, and even new V8/V12/V10 electrified beasts, like the performance trends seen in concepts such as the Lamborghini Temerario 2026.
Is the performance out of this world or just impressive marketing?
With 600 hp and RWD, the RR1 600 offers a delightful balance between front-end lightness and a lively rear, perfect for those who love to feel the car move. In real-world use, it has enough power to obliterate technical tracks and twisty roads without seeming uncontrollable. For daily drivers considering a 911, comparing it with premium sports SUVs (and even what the Macan delivers) helps set expectations — check out this mid-size comparison with the BMW X3 xDrive30 (G45) vs. Macan.
In the RR1 750, things get serious: AWD and 750 hp with PDK deliver explosive, repeatable launches without drama. In this category, managing heat, brake consistency, and aftercare for intense use become key topics. While some throw everything into a sea of screens, the RR1 keeps analog instruments with Tag Heuer signatures — functional luxury, not cheap decoration.
How much does the RR1 conversion cost and what’s actually included?
The conversion costs start at $195,000, excluding the donor car. You need to provide a compatible 911 (Carrera T or Turbo S, depending on the version), and Rezvani works its magic: refined retro interior, handcrafted touches, and calibration of the powertrain to reach the specified 600/750 hp. If you’re after exoticism with pedigree, compare it with brutal luxury GTs like the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante 2026.
Remember: since it’s a conversion, taxes, shipping, and parts availability vary by region. And yes, aesthetic choices can affect the timeline and the final cost. The good news? You get a high-level custom 911 without turning the car into a Frankenstein. The “bad” side? Serious personalization demands patience and a healthy budget.
Does investing in the RR1 make sense worldwide in 2025 and beyond?
If you want true exclusivity, pure sensations, and a look that ages gracefully, the RR1 responds with style. It appeals to those who cherish the mechanical soul of the 911 and distrust ultra-digital cabins. For those considering Porsche as their sole garage car, it’s worth also looking at the practicality and offerings from the brand’s SUVs and electric models — the focus of the Porsche Macan 2025 helps clarify priorities.
If your focus is on the track and numbers, the RR1 750 offers consistency and brutal power in just the right measure. If you crave tactile emotion and pure interaction, the RR1 600 with a manual transmission is a delicious indulgence. In both cases, the retro interior defines its identity without sacrificing ergonomics — meaning it’s stylish and practical. Kudos to those who hate “tablet-mounted controllers” pretending to be steering wheels.

My take: the RR1 is the rare “boutique factory restomod” that delivers personality without killing the 911’s essence. The 600 hp version hits the sweet spot for genuine driving, while the 750 hp caters to those who want to push hard and repeat performance effortlessly. The retro interior is a punch in the face of minimalist tablets — with good taste and purpose. Expensive? Hell yes. But it’s an investment in experience, not screen count.
