The BBS wheels are a nice changeover from the 'traditional' Work Meisters.

This company alone is the very reason why there aren't any affordable used 911's left.

I think Nakai just finds a name or string of words he likes and just runs with it. Stella Artois, Rotana....
It kind of inspired my own car. Just using words that sound cool together.

I think it's just a Japan thing, so many random words thrown together.

Not really. There isn't as many of these as you think there are.

holy cow... When they say "Rauh", they really do mean it. It might be a hideous mess at first look, but that right there, is art.

I think that's one of the images from the Speedhunters article where I first discovered - and fell in love with - Rauh Welt Begriff.

I agree. It's cool to see a fleet of similarly styled cars parked together. They get together a few times a year at that lot in Roppongi. There's a Hard Rock Cafe there haha.I think that's one of the images from the Speedhunters article where I first discovered - and fell in love with - Rauh Welt Begriff.

They haven't disappeared but the 80's Porsches are now class as investment assets in which people can make money from when they sell it in the future rather than now.

There are only 13 or so US build cars. I think there are many other factors to the price increases than just one company.
First build from Bahrain. I love the color. Not digging the wheels though.
Also from Bahrain. Kinda plain.

Next two builds coming up from Los Angeles. Cars are pretty rough now, but will be back to the road in a few weeks.

This is actually more of a knock-on effect from the ridiculous rise in prices for longhood (and especially short wheelbase) 911s that has occurred in the last 5 or so years. Now that those cars (even 912s and 914s have been floated up to absurd prices) are thoroughly beyond attainability by average enthusiasts, the SCs and Carreras have started to rise as those cars become more desirable for people who can't afford the other cars anymore.
Especially considering the relative ease with which an SC can be made to look like a longhood car, the pricing is starting to rise as more people buy them up, backdate them, and sell them on as 'replica' longhoods, RS's, ST's, etc.
Essentially, @lxmmy is correct here:
Partially it's people trying to cash in on the inflated prices of early cars, partially it's people hoping that the SC/Carrera is the 'next big thing' for Porsches, and partially it's Magnus-🤬-Walker. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that RWB has something to do with it, but the relative scarcity of RWB-style cars compared to backdates, wannabe-Magnus cars, and flipping/investment-buying leads me to say that it's an extraordinarily small part if indeed it is a part at all.
I did see an RWB car at Rennsport though. THey look a little bit different in person than they do in pictures. I think that pictures tend to flatter in this case; not that it was a bad looking car, but it really didn't live up to the mythos that the internet has created around these things- it was just a wide 911, one of hundreds.

Haven't seen much info on this one yet, but it was completed in the last few days.

I was there when Nakai-san built the teal cabrio 930!Wide Porsches have been around forever, yes. But how often did that style get transferred to a street car? I dig it because sometimes I like the feeling of driving a radical race car on the road.
Meaning is "Rough World Evolution". I don't think it's any deeper than that, just sounds cool.
What I think is neat is that the cars are always changing. A build he does this week may have a different shape bumper than last week. I don't feel they are getting stale. Look at this whale tail.
Or here's a basic ducktail.
Retro style?
Clean targa.
Or something totally wild.
It was called the 'Speedster', and it was said to be the first ever RWB to rock fifteen52 Outlaw 001s in the world.
What's more, they handcrafted a custom full aluminium roof and literally took a whole windshield frame from a 356.

It's just so ridiculous. I like the fact it's being driven to the track though. I hear there is a Porsche even at Motegi this week.

I like the one they built for Japanese promo events for Fast 6. Quite simple compared to the others, but it works well with the colour of the car and its small track car additions (like the tow hooks). I guess 'Wild Speed' is its name, which is Japan's title of all of the F&F movies.
