Rarity comes in many shapes and forms, and when we’re talking about hand-built custom Porsches, Japan’s RWB (Rauh Welt Begriff) shop has reached a cult status over the years.
Extra wide body kits, multi-level towering wings on the rear, and enough ground clearance to clear a just a short stack of pennies, this is how you could describe most of RWB work in the realm of modified Porsche 911s.
In other words, they are not everyone’s cup of sake, but true art is usually hate it or love it affair, and RWB makes no exception in this regard.
None other than the seventh Porsche conversion ever done by Akira Nakai himself, a Porsche 964 Turbo nicknamed ‘Jezebel’ is currently looking for a new owner.
Based on a 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo of the 964 variety, Jezebel got its RWB appearance package in 2008, when Nakai San modified it as his personal stateside RWB monster.
Originally not red, the model now sports an awesome-looking Guards Red finish that is more in line with the car’s nickname. What is quite rare about the build is that the extra-wide fenders do not feature any visible rivets or bolts like 99 percent of all other RWB kits, with the smooth finish making the model a truly rare gem.
The fenders engulf a set of 18-inch Work wheels, shod in Pirelli P Zero tires, and the exterior also features Bi-Xenon headlights and a revised front lip spoiler with custom fasteners.
The engine has been rebuilt in 2018 and should be good for 300 hp and 366 Nm (270 lb-ft) of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed G50 manual transmission. Oddly enough, while the car is from the 964 lineage, which had a 3.3-liter Boxer, the engine appears to be a 3.0-liter from the 930.
The car was sold not long ago through Elferspot, so we may get to see it again soon, always ready to turn heads and drop jaws wherever it goes.
