Akira Nakai was born in Chiba, Japan, on October 15, 1970. From a young age, he developed an unwavering passion for cars, constantly immersing himself in automotive culture. Nakai-San’s fascination with Porsches began in the late 1980s when he saw a Porsche 930 Turbo on the streets of Japan. The vehicle’s sleek lines and raw power left an indelible mark on his mind, igniting a lifelong love affair with the German marque.
In 1997, Nakai-San established his custom car shop, Rauh Welt Begriff, which translates to “Rough World Concept.” With RWB, Nakai-San sought to push the boundaries of Porsche customisation, blending aggressive aesthetics with track-ready performance. His unique vision focused on widening the bodywork, adding distinctive over fenders, and enhancing aerodynamics to create a truly unique driving experience.
Do what you love. When you do what you love, people tend to help you along the way. Take any opportunity that comes to you because if you don’t, you will miss out. God will lead you along the way, just make sure to not miss the chances that you get.”
