About this car
This 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo pairs the iconic 997 Turbo platform with an authentic RWB build completed by Akira Nakai at RWB Headquarters in Japan. Finished in Basalt Black with red graphics over black leather, the car features a 3.6L twin-turbo flat-six paired to a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. With 56,482 miles, it stands as a documented, one-of-a-kind example that was shipped overseas for the transformation, driven approximately 1,000 miles on Japanese roads, and returned stateside.
The RWB modifications include hand-built bodywork with a hood nostril vent, reshaped rear hip intakes, a rear bumper with exhaust window cut-out, headquarters-exclusive window banner, and rear graphics. The suspension was tuned by Akira Nakai with a static ride-height setup, while professional tuning by Kevin Primus of Primespeed adds a Cobb tune, do88 intercooler, do88 Y-pipe, PKOP GT2-style exhaust with titanium tips, sport exhaust with valve control, and an aluminum front air intake. Work Meister M1 3P 19-inch wheels are wrapped in Toyo Proxes R888R tires.
Additional equipment encompasses the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Stability Management, bi-xenon headlights, front fog lights, electric slide sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, power rear spoiler, red brake calipers, and a Bose surround sound system. The black leather interior features red contrast stitching, Guards Red seat belts, a SportDesign steering wheel, Alcantara-wrapped shift lever and handbrake, aluminum interior trim, and a Porsche-branded fire extinguisher.

The Porsche 911 Turbo (997 generation) was produced from 2006 to 2013, marking the fifth iteration of Porsche’s iconic Turbo lineup. Approximately 30,000 units of the 997 Turbo were manufactured across its variants, including coupe and cabriolet models, making it relatively accessible compared to rarer Porsche models, though specific trims and editions remain sought-after by collectors.
Equipped with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine in early models (later upgraded to a 3.8-liter in the 997.2 facelift from 2009), the 911 Turbo delivered between 480 and 530 horsepower, depending on the version. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 3.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 190 mph. The 997 Turbo introduced advanced features like variable turbine geometry (VTG) for improved turbo response, a first for production cars. Special editions, such as the 911 Turbo S, offer enhanced performance and exclusivity, appealing to collectors. Historical significance lies in its refinement of the Turbo lineage, balancing cutting-edge technology with classic 911 design. Value trends show steady appreciation for well-maintained, low-mileage examples, particularly manual transmission models and limited editions, as the 997 is often seen as the last of the more analog 911 Turbos.
