This retro-futuristic Porsche 935 was designed by a brand that does bulletproof tanks

This Porsche 935 (with hints of a Porsche 911) is actually not a Porsche at all, and it was designed by Rezvani.

You may have never heard of the brand, but you may have seen some of its ‘creations’.

Rezvani specializes in bulletproof tanks for the mega rich, which is an oddly specific niche category.

This 935 is not bulletproof, but it is indeed designed for the mega rich.

A tribute to both the Porsche 935 and 911

Dubbed the RR1, this Porsche 935 is proof that if you give tuning firms enough leeway, they may come up with ideas we hadn’t thought of.

No one knows what exactly was going through the mind of the people at Rezvani when they built this, but we’re certainly glad this was the end product of whatever their thought process may have been.

The RR1 was first unveiled nearly a year ago, but it was called Retro RR1 back then, and the design was slightly different.

The rear section looks the same, but the front end has been redesigned to look more like a 911.

This way, the car is more of a tribute to the 935 when you look at the rear design, but definitely more 911-esque from the front.

Two versions are available, and they aren’t cheap

Two versions are available, based on the 911 992 Carrera T and Turbo S, they’re both made out of carbon fiber and both feature a massive rear wing and 20- and 21-inch wheels, at the front and rear respectively.

The main difference lies in what happens under the hood.

The RR1 600 is based on the Carrera T and it produces 600 horsepower from a Porsche-sourced twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine.

You can pair it to a manual gearbox or a PDK automatic transmission.

The RR1 750 is based on the Turbo S, and it produces 750 horsepower from a slightly bigger engine – 3.8 liters instead of 3.0 liters.

Production is limited to 50 units but this cap is shared across both models, which means it’s up to customers to decide whether more 600s and 750s will be made.

Weirdly, Rezvani has only unveiled the price tag for the first five models.

The company said the the first five cars will start at $195,000 for the conversion alone, excluding the cost of the donor car, which starts at $134,000 for the Carrera T and $230,000+ for the Turbo S.

The remaining 45 will be more expensive, but Rezvani hasn’t given us a price yet.

Then again this makes the RR1 one of Rezvani’s least expensive vehicles, considering both the ‘Beast’ super and the Vengeance tank cost more than that.

And we should remember that actual 935 has a market value that can very easily hit seven figures.

So it isn’t cheap, but it’s all relative.
