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. This particular car started life as a 993 Cabriolet, and is known simply as "Purist," though it appears to be anything but "pure." All of the traditional RWB hallmarks are present, from the …

It's pretty much de rigueur these days to document the build of a new RAUH-Welt Begriff Porsche. When Akira Nakia-san comes to town, the cameras come out in abundance. As the number of Porsches he's touched continues to grow, so does the library of build documentaries. However, not all documentaries are created equal. Chris Petruccio and …

Simply "Air Cooled" in the common tongue, Luftgekühlt is one of those shows that just has to be seen to be believed. If you say it fast enough, the final syllable rolls from 'kyoolt' lazily into 'cult', and I'm not convinced that's not what this event really is at its core.
