The RSR Project | Bespoke Porsche RSR Builds

the story

RECREATING A LEGENDARY CAR

The original RSR was never road legal. Built for the track, run hard, retired early. The few that survived now sit behind glass, original, untouchable, and permanently still. The RSR Project takes what made that car matter and reworks it into something new: still brutal, still beautiful, now built for the road and built around you.

Richard Schickman knew you couldn’t drive an RSR home. In his garage, before he ever had a license, he built his first Porsche. Each car is rebuilt by hand — engine, chassis, interior — with the owner’s spec guiding every major decision. The car you get is the only one like it. What leaves the shop isn’t an artifact or a replica.

It’s something that never rolled out of Stuttgart, but should have.

Testimonials

Mechanically, the car is exceptional. The engine produces an incredible sound—there’s no need to even consider installing a radio. Every drive is thrilling. Thank you, Richard, for such a fantastic build.

Brad R., Owner

The engine truly exceeded my expectations—the sound alone is unforgettable. Its suspension perfectly balances comfort with sporty handling, delivering a genuinely dynamic experience. The steering responsiveness amazed me, especially given the wide front wheel and tire combination. And the paintwork is superb; even our local painter was thoroughly impressed. Thanks for your patience and professionalism in managing our detailed requests and numerous adjustments throughout the process.

Errol L., Project Coordinator

It was a long wait, but really worth it. The vehicle has a beautiful finish and is an absolute stunner! The paint is simply breathtaking. The attention to detail is top-notch and makes it a real head turner on the road especially with the sound of the exhaust. The curves and lines of the car are professionally crafted and adds to its overall elegance. It's not just about the looks though, this car delivers a super driving experience!

Richard and his crew of craftsmen are making the dream of owning a classic piece of Porsche history a reality with The RSR Project. Going through the build process is exciting and creates anticipation. The final product is your dream car realized. An experience I will never forget.

I had a great experience with Richard building my Riviera Blue RSR tribute! I had searched long and hard for that perfect car and was glad to find Richard who graciously offered to build it exactly how I wanted it. If you are into Porsches and old 911s, then you know how hard it is to find someone that is highly qualified in older 911s, responsive and with a high degree of attention to detail. Richard was terrific to work with — I only wish all of my experiences with vintage Porsches were this easy. Not only was the build fast and smooth, but the car was in great shape and continues to be one of my favorites.

I knew that when it came time to building my dream RSR, Richard was the right man for it. His focus on uncompromising quality and execution was a massive win for me, and the reason I chose to work with him, no corners cut, no compromises and sure enough he did not disappoint. Richard has done a tremendous job in aggregating the best names in the business, for each individual item in a car, to create what I believe is the best backdate in the business. I had some “challenging” motor requests, and what I got in return far exceeded my expectations.

What an incredibly built hooligan car! Richard truly captures the essence of the RSR with all the details down to the tires. I’m incredibly impressed with the level of work done and how well it’s been put together. Looks and feels like it came out from Porsche’s own racing department in the 70’s.

Richard presents to you a blank canvas upon which to create your dream Porsche, and that’s exactly the opportunity I seized. Not only does he deliver an immaculate product but he’s also a professional and genuine guy. He was a joy to work with building my Light Grey RSR Tribute!

I initially saw an article on Richard and his cars in The Porsche Club Magazine Panorama in April 2018. I was not ready at the time to pull the trigger on one of his cars, but 6 months later Richard happened to be going through LA to Pebble Beach in his Light yellow car. Richard met me and I got to drive his car, I mailed him a deposit check the next week. Working with Richard and spec’ing out the car was great, I really enjoyed how he kept me in the loop of the build by sending me pics and video’s through the entire process.
