Akira Nakai of RAUH-Welt Begriff chose to name it Ichiban Boshi, "The Highest Star". The project began in June of 2016. It started with a 1989 Silver Anniversary Carrera edition. Then came a fresh 3.3L 964 engine. This RWB is a special collaborative project. Design and project management by Tate Askew of RWB Atlanta, body kit by Akira Nakai of RAWH-Welt Begriff, power by Chris Carroll of Turbo Kraft and touches of style and performance by only the top names in the industry. The car is powered by an air-cooled 3.3L long block engine boosted by a custom-made center mounted turbo system with dual Turbosmart wastegates. The turbocharger is a custom-fit, twin-scroll, Garrett unit. The AEM managed EFI power plant, with the right chemistry from Turbo Kraft, achieves 600HP. The transmission is a G50 5 speed with custom clutch and flywheel set up by Turbokraft. Inspiration for the turbo design and placement came from the 1974 "Baby Turbo" 2.1. "It sounds awesome; it's easy to drive, it makes gobs of power, it's intoxicating", says Urban Outlaw, Magnus Walker.

The weight saving measures, including a carbon fiber roof and hood by Helion Composites in France, bring the car down to a mere 2,400 lbs, making it a rocket when combined with the awesome power. The 911 utilizes a custom coil-over kit for crisp handling, as well as a set of Brembo brakes to tame the 600 horses and wears Work Meister S1 three-piece wheels to go with the look and performance. In true raw race car fashion, the Martini RWB is AC and radio delete. Once you're inside and sitting on the vintage Recaro Martini seats from the 70s, you will notice the carbon roof, as well as the vintage Martini steering wheel. Other details include the Wevo billet aluminum shifter and 911 RS carpets. The subtle touch of RWB branded HID headlights are one of many special details. The car was painted by famous hotrod painter Bryson Richards of Classic Livery. The Martini livery is inspired in part by the '74 "Baby Turbo" 2.1 livery, combined with elements of the '73 Targa Florio RSR. Garrett Turbo asked for the car to be shown in their booth at the 2016 SEMA show in Las Vegas as their marque car. Three publications voted the RWB Martini car in the top 5 cars at SEMA out of the 1,700 cars shown. Automobile Magazine voted this car as 1 of the top 7 stars of the 2017 Amelia Island Werks Reunion. Speedhunters has also written a very nice article on the car. All told, the Porsche project dubbed RWB's "Highest Star" is amongst the most respectable builds in the country with no expense spared.

Wow. Super cool tribute.

 

 

This is one of the better RWB's I've seen but the fact that you used a rare and numbered 911 for the build makes me scratch my head.....

Free bump for you.

 

Is the car clear-bra'd? How is the exterior holding up?
