The Original: The Porsche 911 (964) RWB Red Sakura
The Porsche 911 (964) is a classic of the German automotive industry and was built from 1989 to 1994. This generation of the Porsche 911 was based on the work of designer Bott and engineer Pinkert. The vehicle represented a significant development in the history of the Porsche 911 and incorporated many technical innovations. The 964 was the first 911 to be offered with a standard all-wheel drive (Carrera 4) and featured revised suspension, improved ABS, and optional Tiptronic automatic transmission.
The 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine was the heart of the 911 (964), producing 250 horsepower (184 kW). This power combined with improved aerodynamics and reduced weight allowed the Porsche 911 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 5.5 seconds, making it one of the most sought-after models of its time. The predecessor, the 911 Carrera 3.2, did not have the same technical features and innovations as the 964, highlighting the significance of this generation in Porsche's history.
RWB - Rauh-Welt Begriff and the Custom Modifications
The Porsche 911 (964) RWB Red Sakura was modified by the Japan-based company Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB). Founded by Akira Nakai in 1997, RWB has made a name for itself worldwide for its individual and unique modifications of Porsche 911 models. These modifications include wide fenders, aggressive aerodynamic parts, and special paint schemes that give each vehicle a distinctive look. The "Red Sakura" is a perfect example of RWB's ability to combine timeless aesthetics with modern adaptations.
The RWB conversion of the Porsche 911 (964) typically also includes stylish wheels from manufacturers like Work featuring models such as Work Meister S1, which further enhance the overall look of the vehicle. These wheels are not only visually impressive but also contribute to improved driving dynamics. The specific paint scheme of the "Red Sakura" combines striking red tones with golden accents and prominent logos, including the large "RWB" lettering on the windshield and the Sakura flowers on the roof, giving the vehicle a distinct visual presence.
