Apart from RUF and TechArt, Rauh Welt are one of the most well known and prolific Porsche tuners on the face of this mostly liquidy planet. Famed for their aggressive stance and hardcore stripping (easy now-ed) off of weight, they have become internet (world?) famous through show casing the two cars featured above.
I would loved to have visited them when I was in Tokyo but I had very little time their as it was and that was mostly spent on the more touristy side of things. Hopefully when I’m back in Tokyo the next time i’ll have somebody with me that can speak more Japanese than I can, as it looks like a fairly difficult place to get to.
In slightly related news, I started my new job today : D
“Well how are you posting this now Paul? I hear you say in cynical and smug voices.
Well I actually wrote this yesterday…which at the moment is today, so that it will be up tomorrow or your today…hmm mildly confused myself there.
Anyway, the job is working in a garage which mostly works on Imprezas, Skylines and Nissan Silvias, but the majority of the work that i’ll be doing there will be on their Mitsubishi Evo in preparation for the Irish Time Attack series. I’ll also have the luxury of being to work on my own car if things are quiet, so as you can imagine, i’m really looking forward to it.
I’ll report back about how it went when I get home from work and football.
