Flashback Friday: RWB Tokyo Meet Happens at Nightfall
These photos from their Tokyo meet are close to Porsche automotive porn, but they're totally safe for work.
RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF
RWB, the Porsche tuner in Japan, is famous for mixing tuning parts and styling elements popular in the European and Japanese car scenes. Their tuning shop is increasing in popularity worldwide, thanks to the internet. Now it has become common to see the RWB Porsches not just roaming the streets of Tokyo but in Germany and the USA also.
Check out the RWB shop HERE.
Widebody Invasion
One of the signature style choices of the RWB tuners is extremely widened fenders with super wide wheels and tires on them. While filming a short film called Widebody Invasion, the streets of Tokyo were set upon by hundreds of RWB Porsches from various eras.
One of a Kind
At the RWB shop, each customer gets to specify the number of the different variables on their custom-built 911. That's why all of these Porsches look unique, and each one has a completely different feel to it, though they all share a style and familial resemblance.
The Meet
The 2017 RWB Porsche Tokyo meet was at a small car park next to the Hard Rock Cafe in Roppongi, Tokyo. Roppongi is one of the more fashionable, popular, and wealthy areas in Tokyo, meaning a Porsche is not an unusual sight at all. However, those bright Tokyo lights shining down on these custom tuner Porsches were really something to see.
German Roars
For hours, the streets of Tokyo echoed with the rough, German rumblings of numerous 911 models. The hand-built RWBs caught the eyes of all bystanders with their perfect, eyecatching paint jobs, and distinct aggressive features. The night air held the lingering sounds of the exhaust notes long after the cars were out of sight.
Baby Got Back
What started off as just a small country body-shop in Chiba-ken is now an infamous brand with locations all over the world. You can find RWB shops in Japan, the US, Canada, the UK, China, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. If you want your 911 modified to accommodate wider rubber, have a more aggressive stance, and stand out from the plethora of other owners, then check out RWB. What we do have to say about going through the conversion is that if you are possibly interested, just know that it is a costly one.
