I am so torn on this. I get what he is doing, and I truly believe there is integrity and talent.

But, the other side of my brain says that he is ruining good cars and its too close to the MAX POWER virus that has infected our great culture of automotive love.

My conclusion is that it is wrong. And it should be stopped.

I see what your saying but for some reason I think these pass.

And I get you. Its why I say I am torn. Are they not all mouth and no trousers though? Do they really have integrity?

I thought that but the more I look into them they have some pretty tasty bits keeping things in order.

It's a mixture between late 1970s-style tuning-lookalike and maxpower decorative tat. The link provided in the OP lists nothing else than decorative mods supplied by said company?! No hints to technical innovation or performance improvement.
The name RWB sounds German, but means nothing else than gobbledegook.

I wouldn't touch any of these cars with a barge pole.

[Chuck328]

Cheese anyone?

[Wadeski]

More performance is available if the customer wishes - most just don't.

I love it.

[Baryonyx]

Some look alright, and his concept is pretty interesting. Some of them, like the second one, look like right old scrappers.

That one looks more Mad Max than Max Power.

Would've been a shame to blow it up."

The kits are made of fibreglass, need I say anymore.

Would be different if it was metal and ABS plastic.

[nosuchuser]

Pure porn.

Some of these look ok, but his work method seems erratic at best. Hacksaw, no measurements, all by eye et cetera.

Is this also true that these cars are "all show-no go?". What's the point of 355mm tyres with 250hp? And the silly back wings?

Each to their own, I guess. I personally prefer the Singer offer, or Paul Stephens.

[MC Bodge]

Far, far nicer.

Fail to see how you can judge a company that custom builds each car, to a customer's personal specification.

Surely you are just judging the customers taste, rather than RWB? They're not all the same matt painted, bi-winged, stock powered end product. For example:

The customers state what they want doing to the cars not him, there's quite a few turbo models now done and a few N/A ones running ITB's. A bit of internet searching brings up plenty RWB cars being used for track days...

That one is a bit of an arty one granted but it's the one I liked most

Oh and they now do 996 kits. It makes me want a car I usually dislike...



When I win the Euro Millions on Friday I'll be ordering one

[Aphex]

Isn't there a 12 hour endurance race for these that has eithe recently happening or is happening? I personally love them.

I am waiting for Olberj the ornamentalist to come along and have his input though

That video just confirms what he creates is 1000% better than anything of the stance brigade achieve would love to see that 'bagged' porsche that was talked about being thrashed around like that.

I love pure porsches as much as any other porsche fan but if I also won the euro's he'd be one of the first to call to maybe do something with a 997 gt3
