RAUH-Welt Begriff-modified Porsche 964 shows that RWB kits aren’t just for the Instagram clout.
RAUH-Welt Begriff is a Japanese tuning firm that is well-known for their widebody Porsche 911 packages. While brand purists hate the look, RWB cars have become popular and sought-after among the European sports car-loving crowd. The aggressive stance is the main appeal of these widebody 911s, but as the video above shows, the RWB 964 is just as comfortable on a tough road course as it is at Cars and Coffee.
This footage comes to us from the Attack Official @DAYS YouTube channel and it features a Porsche 911 from the 964 era with a full body kit package from RAUH-Welt Begriff. This includes a unique front fascia, the gigantic wheel flares, wider wheels wrapped in sticky track tires and that massive rear wing. This body kit makes the car look a whole lot meaner, but it also makes this old school 911 a track monster.
As for the power output, we don’t have any details on the drive train, but based on the few details that are not in Japanese, we gathered that this Porsche 911 is powered by a turbocharged 3.6-liter engine. We don’t know which turbo 3.6 it is and we don’t know what has been done to the engine, but the odds are good that it isn’t stock. If nothing else, this RWB 964 seems quite a bit louder than your average 911 from that era, so it at least has upgraded exhaust, but we would bet that the upgrade list doesn’t end there.
Top Porsche Time
We don’t get a look at the leaderboard from this event at Tsukuba Raceway, but as the RWB964 stops the clock with a time of 56.560 seconds, we see that it was the best time for a Porsche at this event. The 60 second mark is the time to beat at Tsukuba, so this 56 second run is a flyer. The driver fist pumps in celebration while the track announcer goes wild.
Crank up your speakers and enjoy this quick clip of an RWB 964 Porsche storming around the track.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
