In the mid-90s, my wife and I moved to London to pursue a dream of directing music videos in the UK scene. This of course, was not such an easy manuever. It was quite a huge challenge to go to a large, foreign city to get started in a freelance career.... Pretty stressful times I have to say, although I wouldn't be where I am today unless I put
Seeing old race cars for the first time in ages is a bit like bumping into an old flame, there is a natural tendancy to don the rose tinted spectacles, remember the good times and forget the bad. Racing imitates Life. Those of you paying attention will know that Rod, Antonio and I were guests of Porsche AG at their Leipzig Factory earlier this year
For some the world is not enough, same goes for certain car owners. To cater those happy few that can buy million dollar cars and turn them into something even more outrageous we have Gemballa. The tuner is situated in Leonberg Germany, that's around 10km from Stuttgart where Porsche themselves are situated. Gemballa made some interesting conversions
As we get closer to the end of the month and our all out on focus on Porsche, it's time for me to finish up my Rauh Welt car features with the much-anticipated look at Nakai-san's personal 1985 Porsche 930. This is a car over 12 years in the making, and in its current state it is definitely one of the most unique Porsche 911's anywhere in
It's not every day you get to see and touch a real Porsche 911 Carrera RS. There are many, many clones out there, but a real production RS is a very rare car. The RS initials stand for Rennsport , which basically means racing sport in German - it was, in essence, a race car, specially produced by Porsche in the early 1970s. The car I got to photograph
It’s time to continue our look at some of the iconic Rauh Welt-tuned Porsche examples from Japan and this time we will be looking at a car that belongs to one of Nakai-san’s most dedicated customers. As with many of the other RWB-built cars, this one was built with a strong emphasis on both on circuit performance and style. As Nakai-san
Maybe the name 9ff doesn't ring a lot of bells, but when I say they have built a car that is called the Veyron Killer I hope I have your attention! Because it is Porsche month on Speedhunters I present to you the 9ff GT9. This car is the brainchild of Jan Fatthauer, founding father of 9ff. The name 9ff stands for 9 to relate to Porsche and the double
The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind……….. You’ve all heard the old sales pitch. Take two great concepts and mix them together to produce twice the product or more. All well and good, except that is rarely the case, usually the strengths and benefits of both ideas get diluted in the process and somehow more becomes less
When we are talking about Porsche there are some major tuners worth noting. One of those companies is Techart, who have been around since 1987. In 2001 they started with a new concept called the GTstreet with the 997 GT2 being newest addition to this stable. Techart has changed the look of the car and more importantly they added more than 160hp to its
In Japanese, there is a term called "omakase" which translates to "leave it to you". Sometimes the term is used at sushi bars when a customer leaves it to the chef to choose the finest fish of the day. When it comes to Nakai-san and his famous Porsche tuning shop, Rauh Welt it is kind of like a sushi restaurant with a seasoned chef
