3 RWB's for sale in Saskatoon.
 
Someone in Saskatoon had 3 RWB Porsche's built last summer.

Teo says Nuo Auto's owner has no plans of selling the three RWB Porsches, but they could sell for the right price.
All 3 are now for sale. I wonder what happened. where they built just to flip?

The description for one of the cars says it's purple but I'm almost 100% sure that's ruby stone red.

A few more for sale in Canada.

This one has been on sale for some time.

They seem a lot higher priced than the ones in Saskatoon. Are people not into these anymore?

The Producer 03-01-2024 06:52 PM

RWB hype aged like milk. the exclusivity is gone.

nakai san is a genius. no bullshit. if you have money he will build one for you. no limits, no fake waiting lists, no preferred customers. You could start RWB Prince George if you want to.

i'd still love to have one

JDMDreams 03-01-2024 07:31 PM

Are those decent deals? Any p car is like what about $100000? Then it's like $30000 for the kit? $30000 for other mods, wheels, paint?

68style 03-01-2024 10:35 PM

I was always personally of the opinion that people revere this dude for almost no actual reason... but good on him for making a biz out of flying around the world taking rich people's money.

hud 91gt 03-01-2024 11:48 PM

Smoking a cigarette, and using Japanese perfectionism on the western world. Lol.

I would have like to have seen him build something classier, along the lines of a singer… but that would be very anti Japanese style.

I watched a "build" video a few weeks ago, and the commentary was "watch as he precily cuts the fender" and he just straight up butchers the car with a zip disk, couldn't stop laughing

Im with 68style, people just drinking the rwb cool aid

punkwax 03-02-2024 06:43 AM

I don’t like.

underscore 03-02-2024 07:27 AM

I never understood the hype either. I never looked into them much because I think they look terrible, but isn't it just bolting on the same widebody kit onto every car?

teggy604 03-02-2024 10:22 AM

I find RWB and Liberty Walk a rich man's Fast and Furious body kit. By slapping on the kit, they just reverse all the hard work engineers did on that P car. LOL. To each their own, I guess.

trollface 03-04-2024 01:10 PM

It's pretty simple. When you have a lot of money, you can buy anything, and the only thing that starts to set you apart is to buy super expensive niche stuff so your buddy next door is jelly. This is were a lot of ultra niche inclusive brands come from.

You get to say this was 1 of 1 custom made for me at the dinner table when the other dude starts talking about his Stock 458.

Hondaracer 03-04-2024 02:29 PM

The thing is.. these aren’t so expensive that they were ever exclusive.

It’s not like someone buying these RWB Porsches has an Aston Valkyrie next to it.

All the 993’s he’s hacked up are the opitome of timeless design, so of course when you start hacking them up with an angle grinder they are going to look substantially worse than one of the most timeless designs there’s ever been lol

Manic! 03-04-2024 04:13 PM

From what I hear these cars are 10 footers. They look great from 10 feet away but not so great up close. He literally paints them with spray paint. I think a lot of the appeal of these cars for some people is the process. You get to hang out with Nakai and watch your car get build and join a club with only 1300 or so cars. I hear the all the owners are pretty close to you.

When I was a kid, i knew the 993s would stand the test of time (in addition to the E39 M5, FD RX7)

And RWB happens to hack the most timeless and desirable design of 911 to ever exist... how ironic.

EvoFire 03-05-2024 01:22 PM

It's not all 993? Some of then are 964s?

The Producer 03-05-2024 01:55 PM

and 997's

just no 996's or you'd have every brokeboy trying to get one done

Yes it's not just 993s but beautiful stock 993s are becoming exceeding rare because they keep getting butchered (not necessarily by RWB either)

Could only imagine what type of fucking abomination an RWB 996 would be :lol

I'm totally glad some of your aren't blind and not afraid to say it. It's almost taboo to say what you just did as it's not 'PC' in the "carworld" to criticize RWB and RB hackjobs. But hey I suppose if I forked out a premium for it I would defend the hackjob to my grave too FeelsBadMan

I saw a similar video a while back, some guy made a nice slowmo video of him spraypainting... crowd surrounding him like he was a god and the job was just like a backyard job, overspray would go everywhere. Yet those guys around him where all smiles with boners in their pants

SkunkWorks 03-05-2024 10:44 PM

I've seen a few of these "builds" in person. Super hack, super cringe, but it's pretty epic to see firsthand when he sawzalls the fenders and quarters off. Most owners seem to be the nouveau riche douche types, clout chasers, or just there for being able to "build" their own exclusive 1 of 1 930/964/994/997 and soon to be 996 lol

Least it makes mine with OG fenders worth more in the long run.

Manic! 03-06-2024 12:27 PM

Talking about modded Porsches. This one is on sale in Portland for 70K.

Someone buy it and bring it to cars and coffee. Lol. That is the only thing it's good for.

Manic! 03-06-2024 02:30 PM

It is signed by Akira Nakai.

As an artisan or crafter, simply being Japanese can be a highly valuable brand. You see it in everything

Good for them!
