We dive into the world of bespoke automotive art with a special focus on RWB - Rauh-Welt Begriff - a unique Porsche customization style pioneered by the captivating Akira Nakai. Join us as we sit down with a passionate young car enthusiast, Simon Wood, who recently experienced the magic of Nakai-san first-hand, transforming his Porsche 911 into a stunning RWB masterpiece. Discover the craft behind these personalized creations and how they embody a blend of Japanese car culture and classic German engineering. 

 

The build was recently undertaken live at LeMay: America’s Car Museum in Washington State, and the Porsche is currently on display there for the public.
