Video: Father-and-Son Rauh Welt Porsche 993

In this video, Leh Keen, famed TUDOR driver and avid tuning fan, shows appreciation for the passionately-built Rauh Welt Begriff Porsches and encourages his father to purchase one particularly beautiful example. It’s amazing how the love for finely-built sports cars brought these two Southerners and a soft-spoken man from Japan together for a brief moment.

RWB owner Nakai-san’s love for Porsches is well-known at this point. His RWB 911s, with their signature fender flares, deep-dish wheels and extravagant bodywork, have created legions of fans, but it’s not often that these cars get seen stateside. These rolling works of art are both audacious and alluring – two qualities which might seem mutually exclusive – because of the amount of passion and vision that go into building a custom RWB Porsche.

The Keen’s 993 RWB car somehow looks even more impressive than the 4.0-liter GT3 RS which sits beside it.

Leh and his father have spent years campaigning Porsches in all sorts of road-racing categories, but Leh’s interest in Japanese car culture and his experience tuning Japanese cars allowed this build to come to fruition. Interestingly, Leh’s R34 GT-R makes a cameo alongside the feature car. After being given the green light, Leh oversaw the build of his car which would eventually be a gift for his father. Talk about pressure.

The final product was shipped to San Francisco where Leh and his father flew to witness Nakai-san putting the finishing touches on the car. The soft-spoken, chain-smoking Japanese guru of wide-body is a natural workaholic and would often spend nights sleeping in his cars during the company’s fledgling years; his enthusiasm for building these cars is palpable. Like an artist, he invests himself into his projects like few others, and that passion attracts other autophiles like the father-son duo here.
