Each RWB is special and demand is high with a two-year waiting list to have Nakai-San build you a car. And although all of them have a unique personality and the creator's hand crafted details, not all of them are completed equally below the surface or under the engine lid. Clermont, as this car is affectionately known, was the culmination of the owner's vision and some of the most-expensive and highest-quality parts that could be installed on a 964. The result is pretty wild both in looks and driving dynamics with attention to detail throughout.
Driven 6,000 miles since built and shown at Rennsport Reunion, SEMA, Sebring 12 hours and more this, RWB and its owner are well known within the Porsche community.
Several specialist shops were involved with the build, including us. The owner started with a clean, black 1992 C2 Coupe. It was stripped down to a rolling shell before going to a fabricator for a carbon fiber sunroof delete panel, then finished in Olive Green (a 1978 Porsche color). It retains the comforts of a street car such as heat, A/C and power windows. Rotiform produced the custom-designed wheels at extraordinary cost -- they are wearing new rubber. KW V3 coilovers were fitted and the hydraulic lifting option (for ground clearance over speed bumps) was also spec'ed. 993 Turbo brakes. The stock 3.6 liter engine was completely rebuilt to 3.8 liter RSR specs by Martine at Auto Europe -- it was fitted with 3.8 Mahle P and C's, Webcam custom ground cams, custom headwork, lightweight RS flywheel/clutch and Steve Wong chip. The engine build exceeded $30,000. Custom exhaust was fabricated by Turbocraft, a CAE shifter was sent over from Germany and HID headlights were sourced from Retrofit Source.
The interior was finished in Scottish Tartan -- the driver's seat is a vintage Recaro, chosen for its comfort and support (and for its low mounting position as the owner is tall and wanted to maximize headroom). Other details include vintage Abarth steering wheel and Heuer clock face.
Clermont was just serviced with a tune up and valve adjustment. The owner is working on some special builds for Rennsport and needs to free up some space so he is reluctantly listing this one for sale. If you are looking for something "tastefully wild" and built to a high standard consider adding this RWB 911 to your stable. Click here for a complete set of more than 60 photos.
