The Definition of Hard Core JDM - Porsche by Rauh-Welt

I’ve been collecting photos of Rauh-Welt cars over the past few months as I hold out for this mega-post. Why? Because the cars they build are simply the epitome of hard core JDM wangan style. They’re a bit retro in a cool way like AE86s and S13s, but there is something so amazingly hardcore about these old-school 911s that even the meanest Hachi or Silvia would have a hard time squaring up to them without being laughed off stage.

Having visited Tokyo’s wangan on a few occasions I already know first hand the feeling of fear that seeing a modified 911 in my rear mirror brings. The air cooled engines are loud as hell when modified with straight through exhausts and these cars carry the nastiest widebody stance of any car out there. In a sense cars like these are the pioneers of the popular widebody style that we all love now.

Granted I am speaking in nostalgic terms, whereas these cars I’m about to feature are modern built cars, with a late 80s/early 90s ultra aggressive wangan style. What you’re about to see is some of the most incredibly hardcore wheel fitments ever. Some of the most hardcore GT wings ever. And generally speaking, some of the most hardcore battle worn cars ever coming out of Japan. And yes, the base car itself is not JDM. Get over it, JDM tuning is a world wide movement and can apply to nearly any car. If you dont know, now you know...

First, marvel in what I consider the most aggressive wheel fitment I’ve ever seen in my life. More...

Matte black never looked so appropriate:

How about matte green? (dont try this with any modern cars please…this car has done it, owned it and patented it. Don’t infringe on their steez!)

I think the name of the game here is that the car makes the color rather than the color making the car. Kind of like a hardcore gangster rapper wearing pink. That same pink wouldn’t look too gangster on the high school nerd but because you know the thug could shoot you if you step too close to his new white kicks, you respect him and his pinkness. Pink and Aqua here are the most fear instilling pink and aqua you’ll ever see on cars (exclusion of this theory is granted to Yashio Factory…and maybe an STi or two).

Seriously I have too many pics of different cars. Here’s one more and then I’ll put a few thumbs below:

This IS retro JDM tuning encapsulated in a photo. RWB Porsche vs AE86 Levin out of your Initial D wet dream:

Offset is EVERYTHING (I wish I could explain this to the art department at Fast and the Furious, what a no cost improvement to the style it’d be!):
