Long drags of a cigarette, a few casual sips from the vending machine-supplied coffee, and endless eye candy can keep an attendee buzzing until the wee hours at meets like these.

This Rauh-Welt 965 Turbo is Punk Rock Perfection
The natural path of car ownership for an avid VW geek begins with a Golf and ends with a 911. Brian Scotto is no different, and after saving, selling some stock, and reaping the benefits of the housing collapse, he made a white 965 Turbo his very own. Being a man of style and taste, he used his vast network and contacted a man who's become …

With those unmistakable flares and outrageous aero pumping up this classic Porsche, it's a feast for the eyes. There's something about the RWB shape which is so outrageous and gaudy that the purists still give them an approving nod. Power one with a 3.3-liter mill from Japanese tuner Promodet, and the package is enough to make anyone with a drop of …

It's that time of year again when Porsches are deployed to sell everything from oil, toolboxes, and shock absorbers to wheels, tires, and leather seat covers. The SEMA trade show in Las Vegas was an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the coolest cars to ever come out of Porsche's factory, and some that didn't. As has been the …

Porsche has pretty much bet the farm on the future of driving enjoyment being electrified.

Though it's not a common sight seeing a Porsche 911 go sideways in such a stylized fashion, this one does look fairly natural doing it. Tuned by KA-TUN, a Japanese racing outfit, this 964 is meant to slide gracefully at speed. To do so, it sports massive wheel spacers, Bride seats (drifters adore them), the toe and camber settings conducive to …

Polarizing: to break into opposing factions or groupings. That's how Merriam-Webster defines the word. I can't think of any other Porsche "customizer" that polarizes our community more than Nakai-San and his Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) body kits. From talking with Porsche owners and fans, and we've spoken to a lot of them, when it comes to RWB there …

Leave it to the Hoonigans to find out. Brian Scotto's white 964 is one of the first two car Nakai-San built in the US, the first US-based RWB Turbo, and one of the first RWB turbos after Nakai's personal 930. Brian is no stranger to childish hooliganism in his 964, and this time had to find out if the car could manage a burnout. The attempt …

We love watching Nakai-San work. Whether he's building cars to be used on track or on the street, as in this case, there is something special about each one.
