Inside RWB Culture: The Story Behind Almost Real's Porsche 930 Stella Artois

Most widebody Porsches on the road today can be traced back to one person working out of a small shop in Chiba, Japan. His name is Akira Nakai, and the culture he built — RWB, short for Rauh-Welt Begriff — is the reason Almost Real's RWB 930 Stella Artois is one of the more meaningful pieces in our Almost Real range, not just another widebody livery.

What Makes RWB Different From Every Other Tuner

Most aftermarket widebody kits are bolt-on parts, ordered from a catalogue and fitted by whoever's paying. RWB doesn't work that way. Every RWB build is done in person by Nakai himself — he flies to the car, fabricates and fits the fender flares by hand on-site, and no two builds come out identical, even on the same base chassis. It's closer to a bespoke tailoring process than a parts installation, and that's exactly why RWB Porsches command the reputation they do among enthusiasts: you're not buying a kit, you're commissioning Nakai's interpretation of your specific car.

The 930 Platform

The Porsche 930 — the original turbocharged 911, produced from the late 1970s through the late 1980s — is one of RWB's most iconic starting points. Its narrow, classic 911 silhouette makes Nakai's dramatically flared widebody treatment even more striking by contrast: the same fundamental shape everyone recognizes, pushed into something far more aggressive.

Why "Stella Artois"

RWB builds are frequently known by their livery or sponsor name rather than a model number, and the Stella Artois car is one of the more recognizable liveries in the RWB catalogue — a stark black body with the Stella Artois branding applied motorsport-style. Almost Real's decision to replicate this specific build, rather than a generic "RWB-style" widebody Porsche, is the same approach we saw with their Camel Trophy Land Rovers: pick a real, documented build with a story, and replicate it faithfully rather than designing something generic.

Why This Matters If You Collect Porsches

If your shelf already has factory Porsche liveries — GT3s, RS models, classic 911s — the RWB 930 sits in genuinely different territory: it represents customization culture rather than factory engineering. For collectors who follow the widebody and Japanese tuning scene, an accurately replicated RWB build is a different kind of piece to own, and a much rarer one to find done well in 1:64 scale.
