It begins by hooking the viewer with a controversial title, then transitions into archival footage of Nakai's early drifting days in an AE86. The narrative progresses to explain his shift to air-cooled Porsches, the creation of his first RWB build, and the functional, track-focused philosophy behind his designs.

THE HISTORY OF THE MOST HATED PORSCHE BUILDER
informational · beginning
BEFORE BECOMING THE FACE OF RWB (RAUH-WELT BEGRIFF), AKIRA NAKAI WAS DRIFTING HIS TOYOTA AE86 DURING THE LATE 1980S AND EARLY 1990S
informational · beginning
HE WAS PART OF THE ROUGH WORLD DRIFT CREW, WHICH IS WHERE THE RWB NAME ORIGINALLY CAME FROM
informational · middle
AFTER SPENDING YEARS DRIFTING HIS AE86, NAKAI EVENTUALLY TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO PORSCHE AND THE WORLD OF AIR-COOLED 911S
informational · middle
HE PURCHASED A PORSCHE 930 THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME THE LEGENDARY STELLA ARTOIS, HIS FIRST RWB CREATION
informational · middle
AT THE TIME, AIR-COOLED PORSCHES WERE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE AND NOWHERE NEAR AS SOUGHT AFTER AS THEY ARE TODAY
informational · middle
THIS MADE OLDER 911S AFFORDABLE PLATFORMS FOR BUILDING DEDICATED RACE CARS WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE
informational · middle
NAKAI'S EARLY CREATIONS WERE BUILT WITH PERFORMANCE IN MIND FIRST, RATHER THAN SIMPLY BEING WIDEBODY SHOW CARS
informational · middle
HIS BUILDS DREW INSPIRATION FROM SUNBURST AND JAPANESE TIME ATTACK CARS, WITH AGGRESSIVE AERO, WIDE FENDERS, AND EXTREMELY LOW RIDE HEIGHTS
informational · middle
NOT ONLY WERE THESE CARS BUILT FOR THE TRACK, BUT MANY ALSO FEATURED EXTENSIVELY MODIFIED ENGINES FROM RESPECTED JAPANESE PORSCHE SPECIALISTS LIKE PROMODET
informational · end
NAKAI AND THE RWB CREW REGULARLY COMPETED AT JAPANESE CIRCUITS LIKE TSUKUBA AND MOTEGI, BECOMING CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE IDLERS RACING SERIES
informational · end
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, RWB PORSCHES WEREN'T ORIGINALLY BUILT JUST TO LOOK GOOD. RACING AND PERFORMANCE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO THEIR IDENTITY
informational · end
AND FOR THOSE WHO THINK THAT ERA IS LONG GONE, IDLERS RACING STILL TAKES PLACE TODAY, WITH RWB PORSCHES CONTINUING TO GATHER AND COMPETE ON TRACK
