Hoonigan Akira Nakai Porsche 911 RWB Souseiki, Digi Mart USA News: Hoonigan has partnered with RAUH-Welt Begriff (RWB) founder Akira Nakai to create a one-of-one Porsche 911 Carrera S named “Souseiki,” meaning “Genesis.” The car is the grand prize in a sweepstakes run by the brand, which also includes USD$35,000 in cash.
The build was completed over two days in front of a live audience in Huntington Beach, California. The 997-generation Porsche features Nakai’s hand-cut widebody conversion finished in Guards Red, along with Bilstein coilover suspension, custom three-piece forged Rotiform wheels and a hand-fabricated BBi Autosport StreetCup exhaust system.
The project revives a partnership that began in 2011, when Nakai worked on Hoonigan co-founder Brian Scotto’s 964 Turbo, described in the publisher article as the first American RWB build. The new car uses a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six producing 355 hp (261 kW) and 400 Nm, sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
According to the publisher article, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds when new, though this figure predates the larger wheels and tyres and is expected to be closer to 5.2 seconds now. Top speed is listed at 293 km/h (182 mph).
Under the official sweepstakes terms, entry is restricted to United States residents aged 18 and older, so Australian entrants cannot take delivery of the left-hand-drive coupe. Entries close on 31 December 2026, and a documentary featuring Scotto, Nakai and Alexi Smith is scheduled to premiere on the Hoonigan YouTube channel on 23 November at 9 a.m.
