Well it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same thing,
Should tell that to Mr RWB!To be honest I would think that Mr RWB would probably agree with it being boring if everything was the same. After all no two cars he makes are the same. so...

I need the pic on the article as a wallpaper. Is there a Hi-Res pic anywhere?
Have a look at http://www.7tune.com/ They did a double feature on RWB a while ago. Absolutely dream car perfection, only trouble is Porsche themselves did this sort of thing 35 years ago,as admirable machines displaying function over form, not the other way around!! Then went out and won LeMans,etc etc, not just pose outside nightclubs !!

They look cool enough in a sort of "GT2 to the nth degree" way, but too bad none of the RWB cars have the power to match the looks.
If you look back through that previously mentioned Speedhundnters archive, you'll find none of Nakai-san's creations have anything more extreme than an exhaust system. They're based on Carreras as well, so no Turbo. At least Gemballa and the like, while OTT, have bonkers power to go with it.
Cool, but only good for posing.

It's odd that the reception on here is so positive to a man who takes a base model of a purists car, sticks an absurd bodykit on it and probably doesn't do it's usability in 9/10 situations any good. That said, I am completely and utterly sold on the idea. Number One looked great on Sunday, and I haven't seen pictures of any of them that don't look like wild homologation-spec nuttermobiles.

I think he gets away with it because they are seen as a homage to the classic race cars. The old wide body turbo of the '80 was all about extravagance so these cars are fitting.His cars a 930T it said in the film, so pre 964 Turbo. Thats hardly base model..
