Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB,) is one of the most notoriously successful, yet controversial, Japanese car tuners to exist today. With his army of modified Porsche 911’s, Akira Nakai has built a world famous tuning company-frequently circulating through automotive press giants like Speedhunters, Hoonigan, Illest, Fatlace, and Auto Otaku. From his first Rough World AE86’s, to Porsche 930’s, 964’s, and 996’s, many find his modification techniques to be…. well, rough!
Grab a Stella and your air saw, and sit back in your leather armchair, as James Pumphrey tells the story of the REAL Nakai san, and the history of RWB.
HUGE thanks to our friends Brian Scotto of Hoonigan, and Rutledge Wood of Top Gear USA, for introducing us to their sweet...sweet RWB Porsches. And to Dino Dalle Carbonare of Speedhunters, for hooking us up with the inside RWB scoop, and this spicy RWB Rotana image for our thumbnail.

„Porsche purists hate him“ as if Porsche purists ever like anythhing at all
They do, the sound of their own voices
Where is the lie? 😂
Joseph McKinney There isn’t one, take it from the son of a man who was treated like shit every time he went to a Porsche track day. Porsche purists are the biggest assholes in the car world.
Griffin S my old friends dad had (or has) a 1980 Porsche 911 and it’s beautiful but he wouldn’t let us touch it
@@dylanmusgrove1328 understandable
"RWB stands for rauh-welt begriff"
My brain: "RWB stands for rear wheel brive"
HAHAHA hell ya! me too.
Rear Wheel Brakes
Ha ha rear wheel go brrrrr
Real wide body
Lol
You know I'm still a muscle car enthusiast, but y'all at Donut have made me truly appreciate every type of car and brand on this show
aint non like an American classic 〰️

@@insooleedat1asiandude G bodies, Chevelles, and Classic mustangs like the boss 429 make me feel some type of way, and nothing can replace that feeling honestly ...

Fun fact: in German "Rauh-Welt Begriff" doesn't really make any sense. When I first read it I was really puzzled. Must be one of those google translate gems.
But what is the closest translation you can make of it?
@@alfredoladino9838r "Rauh-Welt Begriff Sekund Entwicklung" means "Roughly-world term, second development" with "second" in the sense of time like "sixty seconds". "Rauh-Welt" could also be a "Roughworld ...", a world/planet made of "roughness". Yes, doesn't make any sense. "Rauh-Welt Begriff Zweite Entwicklung" means "Roughly world term, second development". I guess what Nakai-San wanted to express is something like "Rauhe Welt - Konzept. Stufe Zwei" so something like "rough world - concept, Mark Two". But as long as hard German words sound cool for you guys, I am fine with "Rauh-Welt Begriff Zweite Entwicklung".
@@herrwolken He just took the words like a 90´s chick slaps some japanese signs on her back not knowing the right translation
Pretty much like "Häagen-Dazs",yeah?
When I first ever see the Green RWB 911 I thought that was a another version of 911 design by PORSCHE! But now I know who is the legend!
RWB: Really Wild Bodykits
Username relevant, good job sir 🤵🏻
@@alfredotovar8984 :D
Or alternatively: Really Wide Bois
Makes a lot more sense then Rauh Welt Begriff which is basically gibberish and means nothing really.
@@jpdoe9005 Did you just not listen to him or something?
Day 176 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
PaganiGaming nice
*177
lmao thats green
Hi people scrolling through the comments probably years later
Best part of a new release lmao
I don't understand how anyone can hate on Nakai-san's Porche builds because the man is an alchemist.
Extreme purists suck.
I can compare Nakai-San to a chef who might not be the most perfect in the head but he'll whip up the greatest dish you'll ever taste in your life.
im forever going to hear "DEVIL CAMBER" in my sleep from here on out
I met Nakai San in person, just with his presence, he’s legendary
Did you customised your Porsche ? How quick he customised it if you customised it ? Watching this video .... Can't believe how good he is 😍😍
Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊! Celebrities tend to be cool with their fans. (:
The “Up to Speed” Initial D style intervals NEED to stay
YES!
It needs the sfx on it
initial D....
INEESHAAL DEE!!! bwom bwom bwam
oooooWWWEEEEoooo
Heck yes
This is a must
As a former 911 owner, I was never a fan of RWB until watching this video. The process and craftsmanship for these is really cool, and I actually love Rutledge Wood's car. It would win cars and coffee for sure.
That was very interesting, my son and i were at the debut of Nakai-San's first car built in Canada, Royal Ocean in 2013 and since have been to most of the builds in the Vancouver area. I am not a purist or a big Porsche fan but i enjoy the work of Nakai-San. There are a few purists here that have an RWB or two. Due to the Corona virus he has not been here since last December, he is a skilled and humble person. I have his autograph on many items including a lens hood on one of my Nikon lenses. I will likely never have the money to have one made but if did i would have him make a car for me too! He does like his Winstons, Coffee, Sushi etc it is always an event when he comes to town.
What rwb really stands for: really wide body
Really wide boy
Rear wheel brive
Red white blue.
Really Wide Booty
wirklich breiter Körper
Nakai- San like the cars he builds is perfectly imperfect , fuelled by cokes and smokes he’s a modern day artist
another form of art
Seeing the 935 and stuff I can really start to appreciate these things.
But also, I'm glad Rutledge Wood's one exists because that thing is just really tasteful. Kind of goes to show that Nakai's not just doing it to be controversial but really putting thought into it.
Edit: I changed my mind that black Targa and that blue coupe look like a million bucks. That's AMAZING.
@@arnehurnik check out “rotana” the purple one and the riveria blue one and the black Stella Artois one :)
@@peterstainer731 tbf Stella Artois was the first of the RWBs and Nakai's personal car IIRC, it's obviously gonna be his "Magnum Opus"
I love what RWB has done because it is real, living art
I really wish that more digital artists would dare to bring their creations into the real world, such as Khyzyl Saleem. So much talent out there to let it all stay virtual!
Donut media’s timeline is more confusing than marvel’s
Yes.
Hmm... yes... he has a clone
Marvel's timeline is nothing compared to the X-Men's.
Almost as confusing as fnafs
Nah even more confusing than the Fast and Furious timeline...
RWB = Really Wide Bois
This needs to be top comment.
Wide Putin owns one
Really Wild Beatles
Weird
Beatles
I didnt like porches at all until I saw an rwb driving around Santa Cruz and my mind was blown, I didn't know rwb existed before then and since then I've been in love.
first time I watched this video it was awesome.
watched some RWB vids: amazed at the stories each one has while also seeing Nakai work his craftsmanship
I come back here with 2:26 into the video cause well, I freaking love James talking about RWB. cars are FREAKING AMAZING MAN
Classic german car like Porsche + japanese parts = heaven
I don't know but the car looks perfect with or without the kit
much better without,they suck with f-150 flares
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Yeah race cars look so lame am I right? Things like IMSA cars are just the worst. Lmao. Just be quiet dude.
They look 💯 times better with the rwb kit!!!! What have you been smoking????
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Yep, looks like they have about 2" suspension travel in the back, and maybe 1" in the front. Just a messed up *Tuner * car.
Something only Cars and Coffee wannabees could relate to.
Found the purists!!
RIP to all the race cars that has never seen outside of a garage.
That’s a terrible life for the cars. They don’t deserve to live like that, that ain’t livin.
To be honest, it's better than crashing a super car because you can't handle it
Race cars needs to be in “ “‘s in the above statement. These are often built with the tiptronic (underperforming, slow shifting auto) trans and are far from being prepped as a track/race car.
All bark no bite (poser) cars are what’s ruining the automotive scene. It misleads perspective enthusiasts and slows the potential for them to become good builders themselves. A body mod for looks alone is like a maturing model desperately attached to their younger appearance. Off putting at best. This is a fad and will pass...along with these cars opportunity for fair value resale. Remember the cringey Gemballa cars? Not many do. Cars of this magnitude should be stimulating on a physical visceral level, not only visually appealing to certain demo’s.
@@Russell_and_Rosko that's why we all can agree that sleeper cars are the coolest
The video is ironic because we know these RWB Porsches are just as big garage-queens as stock ones, maybe even more because of the "uniqueness" of each one.
I've been watching RWB videos for years but never really new the history behind RWB. Great commentary video Donut! Much respect to Nakai-san!
I love the “initial D” amage and I love that you shouted out Rutledge Wood! I miss that dude from Top Gear America!
Akira give me a Bunta Fujiwara vibe.
Top Gear America... unwatchable
me: I’m gonna buy one of the watches.
*sees $2,500 CAD price tag*
me: nevermind
Porsche watches are cheaper
But you get 15% off
Especially because it is not a special clockwork
Yeah ,just a tad overpriced with a Plastic strap 🤷♂️
Same, I'd love a watch but fucking hell who's got that kind of money lying around AND is watching this donut?
2:04
My guy straight up went out his way to do a initial d “back to” thingy thing
wakar jaffri
They used it in previous episodes too (idk which one tho)
(Whispers) Up To Speed.
Two seconds later
UP TO SPEED!
He did It on the trd video too
Legend has it that Nakai son doesn't exclusively smoke Winston for their taste. Some say he even dislikes the taste. He smokes them because they look cool. And Nakai son is all about cool.
its always amazing to see someone doing exact work with hands, on guts feeling
Singer: "We offer our customers an endless variety of luxury restoration options, giving them an personal character and unique look to their choosing."
Nakai: "hold my Stella Artois, and hand over my pneumatic saw."
Every rwb car is the the same ingredients of fiberglass and home depot parts. They don't hold a candle to Singer
@@iivv_nn RWB > singer
[i] ven but probably makes as much money off it, so I’d say the better business model.
@@1D0N LOL, supposedly singer barely breaks even.
Singer all the way, hands down
Man, RWB takes porsche to a whole new level, thank you, Nakai-san.
*I have RWB's, on NFS lol*
No they don't. Singer takes Porsche to a new level.
@@shadow7037932 is this an opinion?
RUF - Speed and wild handling
Gemballa- speed but in style
Techart- same as Gemballa themselves
RWB- expensive track day cars
Singer- resto mod vintage with serious performance
Gunther- uhhh is it a Gemballa ripoff ??
Bisimoto- something that RWB didnt have, power
@@hybridAbsol LOL bisimoto are just insane bro, that guy has impeccable taste, thx for the knowledge btw.
@@shadow7037932 sorry, i'm only know RWB so far, too bad Singer are now defunct :(
When i see him put so much focus and attention into his work it inspires me to do the same lol when ive been painting my car i imagine how he would do it
It's quite amazing how rwb and hoonigans are connected they made the most awesome car trends in the world!
RWB makes some of the most visually pleasing cars of all time full stop.
Yep im a wide body fanatic, every car looks better with wide body kits and im also a big wing guy lol
Why Jeep get no love
Amen
Some of those wings look stupidly big and stupid looking though
It mostly appeals to those don't actually own an air-cooled Porsche, and not really to those who actually own an air-cooled Porsche.
Rut is the only American “Top Gear” host worth anything.
I love rut😂, but all of the old ones are better then any of the new ones.
Hey at least it ain't the Brittish Top Gear post Clarkson, May, and Hammond.
I really like Tanner ngl...😂😂 he’s an amazing driver
@@ethanfay9 well you should learn few things about Tanner then... A car lover he isn't.
Tanner is a freaking rally driver
These videos with donut going over real life automotive history are my favorite of the whole channel
Damn I was really gonna buy one of those watches. Then realized it costs as much as I paid for my car.
Rich people are a different breed man
Literally one of the coolest cars I have ever seen to date and I LOVE how much Porsche purist hate them. Now to start selling crack so I can have one by Christmas.
Yea bro we can't let you smoke it man it's not good for you
You holding? I'll take some.
Remember, don't waste the merchandise.
Don’t get high on your own supply 👍🏻
*get on the waiting list by christmas
I want to buy a tiger tank that can drift.

@@Joopyter724 literally lol
in "War Thunder" they can drift. :D
coolest microphone i've ever watched in TH-cam... awesome vid!! (as always)
Love RWB. It's an interpretation of Porsches. The fact that he makes each one individual and personal makes it so good.
12:57 "Meh, still a fun car to drive"

*Furiously doing donuts*

The Initial D transitions! Haha that's amazing! This is probably one of my favorite episodes of this series. James is amazing! 🔥
Ya, us too. Glad you like it -james
"old rich mayonaise-y guys"
My buddy is currently getting a RWB widebody done to his k swapped Porsche. Going to swing by the shop tmr to see Akira working on it tmr, hope he’s willing to sign something for me. Will never sell it just a 1 in a million chance for me. Love how he makes each RWB is custom to the customer, dude gets a idea of your personality then molds it to fit your personality best.
"Porsche's are just Beetles with two more cylinders". OH NO HE DIDN'T!
"Porsche's are just Beetles with two more cylinders" *happy Jeremy Clarkson noises*
It's true
Yeah exactly , porsches are porsches !!!
@@stoyankolev6355 if you cover the spoiler and front end, it does looks like a beetle, no joke
Porsche actually made the Beetle
When I heard him say he like Mexican coke.. I was like wow... to then realize he like Mexican Coca Cola... lol
Mexican coke is awesome. There is a store by me that sells them
Lol I live in El Paso, Texas about 2 miles from the US/Mexico border. There is definitely no shortage of Mexican Coke here.
No coke is ever Mexican. All coke is Colombian.
Sounds like something a Porsche Purists would say.
Only way to get coke in glass bottles,which is supposedly the best way to preserve the flavor,American coke bottlers apparently aren't convinced.
Haha, the ghost puddle artifact at 18:55 is great
If I owned a Porsche that I could convert into an RWB I would definitely allow Akira Nakai to do what he pleases with the car I’d love the work
I love Nakai’s work, when i moved back home to Texas, i moved right outside of Dallas and i got to see him finish a gorgeous RWB at the new summit racing that was built in Arlington. Before then, i worked for a company called TRS, we developed custom headlights for those vehicles and 2 of his personal cars were in our showroom for a while. It was amazing
Man, that sounds siiiiiiiicckk
shit bro that's mad
Pretty Rad, Man. Awesome to see a Great lad at his work.
That meet was sick too. Definitely felt the presence whenever Nakai was there! And the owner of the Dallas RWB porsche is pretty cool too( I would meet him many times when I worked at Summit Racing)
FINALLY A VIDEO ON RWB!
Kayanya ada yang mau bikin juga nih?
14:30 engine is heart , ECU is the brain and turbo’s are lungs 😍🔥
Just so amazing I love that i got to race one in need for speed.
Real nice that you decided to put some effort in the Eclipse project! Will be keeping an eye on this!

@Light Morningstar in what series. RwB is pure BS.
@@truantray The Idlers 12 hours
That's all they're there for, these kits are for kids, wannabes and posers, I hate em. Not neccesarily for how they look but how they ruin these cars, especially the classics, by cutting them to bits. Not to mention an LS in a porsche ? Fuck off you have completely ruined the thing, it's not a porsche anymore. it pisses me off and I'm not even a porsche guy, I just don't like seeing nice cars being destroyed for dumb reasons.
@@XBullitt16X spotted the Porsche purist here
Getting to watch this man work in real life was amazing 👍🏽
I remember seeing the RWB 993 at the LeMay Car Museum while I was on a volunteer shift, that was wild seeing that build go on. That car reminded me of the Group 5 racers, but with the chassis of a 90's 911 underneath. I'm a Porsche fan and it surprised me in a good way, not all Porsche fans have a telephone pole stuck up their exhausts.
Whenever i watch rwb videos i can smell the cigarettes from my phone
LOL I thought I was the only one 😂😂😂
ikr LOL
the apartment complex is fucked up where u live i guess
I appreciate Stella Artois, the beer company, for letting Nakai-san use their name for the car. Unlike the Eleanor mustang lady. I’d love to RWB my slantnose.
I mean.. it's free advertising..
Widebody slantnose 911? Would you like to have it like the DRM gr. 5 style body? That'd be cool
Pretty sure they don’t know
Nurrahman Dwi Haryoso is that like bisi’s Porsche? That’s cool but I love the curves and overfenders of rwb.
@@DaleDriven yeah, I just saw that and pretty much like it, the gr.5 935
14:30 engine is heart , ECU is the brain and turbo’s are lungs 😍🔥
Well I’ve got some wimpy turbos in me then
I absolutely love stuff like this, a person with a vision goes against the whole world. We need more videos like this please.
Can you guys make one of LIBERTY WALK PLEASE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I always tell friends and family: You cant make everyone happy, but yourself. Nakai is living proof for it.
3:30 this is why I love james
Yes

It's the editor
THE GREEN RWB PORSCHE GUY!!!! So awesome!!!! really happy for you. I am living vicariously and loving it. What a great machine. Although my choice of powerplants would have stayed PORSCHE. I love it, and all other RWB's
So glad I stumbled across this. Such a cool history lesson
i love how while brian scott talks about his porsche, he has an audi 90 in his garage nnnnnnggggggggggg so good ❤
I love how brian is in this episode!
Think its a audi s2
That’s exactly what caught my eye too 😅 I’m over here loving my URS4
It's ridiculous how just one man is so committed to his art that he'll come TO YOU to build you a special car.
Never was into RWBs till now, I’m in love
Had the pleasure to see him work today in person in Seoul Korea, where he was building 2 cars.
Dude was chilling in his leather chair smoking during the breaks. What a G

😂😂😂
Thanks for do this video, we love you guys
It’s 2022 and the world’s taste in cars are so different now. I use to say “worsened” but I’ve come into terms that the ship has sailed. We can’t buy Supras, RX-7s, R34s, or even 86s for a decent price now. Heck, EGs and Type-R’s are just plain too much now. The time of affordable builds are kinda gone-there’s exceptions but it’s sad 😞.
Donut, these Up to Speed episodes are preserving car culture. You are doing all enthusiasts an amazing opportunity to share these videos to our children one day even if their taste is not the same as ours. This episode made me cry-I remember the Pandora One and it gave me a desire to own one of these things one day, launched my love for lime green 911s, and car culture in general.
Thank you for keeping the spirit of car culture, Top Gear, and all those Saturday morning car shows alive.
Love you guys
I was lucky enough to meet him and see him work back in Florida when he was there doing my buddy Joseph’s Porsche at Titan motorsports.

When I first ever see the Green RWB 911 I thought that was a another version of 911 design by PORSCHE! But now I know who is the legend!

Finally. I’ve been asking every week: when are they going to do RWB.
to make RWB you have to wait a year at least, didn't you hear that? You finally got yours lmao
working_on_dying we’ve been in the waiting list this whole time. Damn.
Definitely one of my favorite videos ever
When i saw this for the first time i thought he was saying that rwb was bad but then i fell in love with the car and now i want one
The weird thing is I just searched "donut media up to speed rwb" An hour before this was uploaded. After I saw rwb in another vid. Thanks Donut 😚
Man rhats crazy
Maaaaaaaaaaaan. I had the pleasure of watching him build a 911 once at his Richmond location. Smoking and building a car to classical music... it was amazing.
So many rwbs in British Columbia 🤣🤣
One thing i need to say you guys are one of the best car TH-camrs .watched couple of your high vs low videos.and subscribed immediately.much love from SAUDI.

the watch is actually cool. fist ad that i enjoyed watching on youtube. well done
Dude looks like he’s getting into shape 💪 keep it up man it’s showing
He Makes the 911 more better looking than they already are, with its beautiful curves and that's saying something
I'm so glad I saw this video. Because about 2 weeks ago now, I saw a red RWB sitting in the Target parking lot. I never would've known what it really meant, but thanks to Donut, I got to geek out and watch my kids roll their eyes. 🤣
I love Devil Chamber. Going to need that LP.
You know what, I'm gonna say it. This is my favorite episode of Up To Speed.
R - rear
W - wheel
B - brive
I love when random episodes of up to speed i had missed pop up on my recommendation
When I saw the white RWB I was expecting the guy to not drive it since the value of the car obviously would explode, but the bliss I got from that donut made my day.
Wait I didn’t know RWB existed but now I want both a merc e class and rwb Porsche. Thank you donut for my new dream cars
Finally RWB x Up To Speed 🔥 I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭
loved these cars ever since i first seen them.
This video is GREAT! 🙌🏽
