Porsche 993 RWB, SuperNine

RWB stands for Rauh-Welt Begriff, German for rough world concept, a phrase Akira Nakai chose because it sounded right to him. Nakai came out of Japan's street tuning scene of the 1980s and 1990s, founded RWB in Chiba, and his own 930, named Stella Artois, was the first RWB build. For a customer car he usually flies out with hand tools and works on site for two or three days, cutting away the original wings and riveting wide fibreglass arches straight to the body, shaped by eye. Each finished car gets its own name, applied by hand along with the windscreen banner; Rotana is one of them. The air-cooled 964 and 993 are his most common donors.

This 993 wears deep gloss blue with large white SuperNine lettering on the doors, the name repeated in katakana, a red 9 roundel on the bonnet and white flashes over the arches. RAUH-Welt runs across the top of the windscreen, RWB 9 plates sit front and rear, and Zweite Entwicklung is printed on the black front lip. The rear bumper reads The Bumper Was Transplanted From Rotana. The front wheels wear blue and white Rotiform aero covers on Idlers tyres, the rears are silver multi-spoke rims, and the tall wing carries RAUH-Welt endplates. It sits on a pale grey base. Fuelme builds it at 1:18.
