rauhweltbegriff - Streetwell

You don’t just build an RWB Porsche. You join a waiting list, whisper your intent to the gods of speed, sacrifice a set of factory fenders, and prepare for the arrival of the high priest himself: Akira Nakai-san.

In 2019, German car enthusiast and TV personality JP Kraemer experienced this transformation firsthand. His Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (964), a base model that needed a lot of work, was reborn into a tire-shredding, street-slaying beast. Under the hands of Nakai-san, who flew in from Japan armed with nothing but a cutting wheel, a pack of his favorite Winston cigarettes, and a vision.

The metamorphosis starts with the signature Rauh-Welt Begriff widebody kit. Nakai-san works with surgical precision, chain-smoking and vibing to punk rock as he bolts on the flared fenders that define RWB’s unmistakable silhouette.

Do you remember seeing your first RWB kitted Porsche? I do, it was the Porsche Stella Artois named after Nakai-Sans favorite beer. In my blogging days even before we started the Speedhunters project in 2008 there was a blog called Auto Otaku run by Mike Garrett. He was the man in Japan who showed us the car culture first hand. He had access to a scene we could only dream of. Mike showed us the RWB cars while they raced on Tsukuba during the numerous Idlers events. And one of those cars was Nakai-san’s personal 1985 Porsche 930.

The RWB Stella Artois was painted Matte Black with gold SSR Professors and gold accents. To me the perfect combo that accentuates the widebody even more and giving it somewhat of an outlaw look.
