The sudden impact and influence of Nakai-san’s hand-crafted Porsche creations is both impressive and perhaps unprecedented. In part, that’s thanks to the proliferation of new media sources; go back to the 1980s, and no matter how cool his cars were it would have been much more difficult for him to become a name that most enthusiasts seem to know these days. We also live in a world which both is losing hand-crafted expertise but also celebrates it as the incredible skill it is. The cars he creates are racing inspired – a whole culture that exists in Japan but is undoubtedly taken to a much higher level by RWB. Stretched and slammed, the RWB cars are each unique but share heritage that resembles the racing 911 Turbo and GT2 models. They’re beyond replicas of race cars, though, defining their own unique identity. Not everyone likes the look, but nearly all can appreciate the attention to detail and incredible craftsmanship that goes into these cars:

This particular example looks quite stunning in blue; I believe it’s Riviera but I’m sure a better eye could correct me. The pieces are all top-notch and well done though I think the car holds a greater impact without stickers. Like the last RWB 993 I wrote up, the asking price seems pretty staggering until you consider what that amount buys you in the 911 world these days. Personally, if anything I think these cars are worth the same amount as any Ruf – roughly where they are priced. They may not have the name recognition or extreme performance, but the essence of the desire to build the ultimate Porsche is still there – and the look is out of this world. I think the Porsche world will look back on these modified cars as something very special in the future – perhaps even more special than the mainstream tuners.

Definitely very unique but the buyer will have to be unique too. Obviously there is sort of following of these cars but for that money I’d rather have stock and unmolested 964 3.6.
I’ve seen/witnessed more of these than I care to remember, absolutely not in the same league as Ruf. Attended this years Tokyo Auto Salon a couple days ago, the whole ‘over fender’ movement has taken on a life of its own. From Rocket Bunny Toyota 86s to Kato-san’s Liberty Walk Aventador (his SEMA Jeep magnet Ferrari 458 was on hand too).
I absolutely love RAUH-WELT. If I had the means, I would take this off of the market in a heartbeat.
Oddly, I’m not a fan of Liberty Walk or other tuners/modifiers. Perhaps its the documentaries and interviews with Nakai-san that have made me respect him and his work so much.
the expression of “if you live long enough you see just about everything”…
what we have here is basically a “tarted up” standard 993C2…..with all show and no real motor-work to speak of…not to mention the “accident-issue” reported on the vehicle…..
for his ask and if you want a “unique” Porsche…look to a Walker 911…or even the above listed 930 is a better buy….for me at least… I don’t doubt the guys passion and skill…but sorry I’m not his buyer for sure
color could be Riv or Mexico….
In my opinion, Rauh Welt can keep hacking up cars— it just makes my box-stock 993 that much more valuable.
