Stella Artois

Named after his favorite beer, this 911 known as "Stella Artois" is the pinnacle effort of the RAUH-Welt garage. I featured a green 911 with some serious dish a few days ago from these guys but that by no means is an exemplarily model. Known for their superior wheel fitment and as one of few Porsche houses in Japan, RAUH-Welt is a tuning powerhouse, hosting track events all over Japan and an immovable player in the "idlers Club," a Euro-JDM movement if you will. Once you comprehend the wide-body on this 911, the details really shine. This car is dripping with effort and thought; as a track car the flat black color looks aggressive while needing little maintenance and flows fantastically with the flat bronze SSR wheels. The wide-body itself not only drastically expands an absurdly wide stock car, notice that even the flares are scalloped to allow heat to easily vacate the brakes and wheel wells. The most notable feature of this build is not surprisingly the motor, but that is where predictability ends. Housed behind the rear wheels of this 911 is an NA built flat-six! Producing 360 hp at 8500 rpm this car is a response machine, keep in mind that the entire widebody and doors are carbon, with a combined weight reduction effort of 800 pounds out of this car! As a man after my own heart, his only response to wether or not any of his builds would be featured at the Tokyo Auto Salon was "I don't like car shows."
