About the Porsche 911 993 RWB Son Goku Purple GT Spirit 1:18
TL;DR: GT Spirit's 1:18 resin reproduces an RWB widebody 993, the Son Goku build finished in purple over Akira Nakai's fender-flared conversion of Porsche's air-cooled chassis. Cast as a sealed one-piece body, it suits a tuner-focused shelf built around stance and finish.
RWB does not build cars from a catalog. Each conversion that leaves Akira Nakai's shop carries its own nickname, its own fender geometry, and its own paint, and Son Goku is one of the purple builds that has drawn attention well beyond Japan's tuning scene. GT Spirit's 1:18 resin reproduction reproduces that specific build on its air-cooled 993 donor.
RWB's Approach to the 993 Platform
Akira Nakai and the One-Off Build Philosophy
RWB, short for RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF, is the work of a single builder, Akira Nakai, who has spent decades reworking air-cooled Porsche 911s into widebody statements built by eye rather than from a fixed template. Every RWB car gets its own name, chosen by Nakai or the owner, and Son Goku, a reference to the Dragon Ball character, marks this particular purple 993 build out from the dozens of other cars that have gone through his shop. That naming culture is part of why RWB has built a following far beyond typical tuning circles: each car reads as a specific, documented individual rather than an anonymous kit conversion.
Why the 993 Suits a Widebody Conversion
Porsche built the 993 from 1994 to 1998, the last of the air-cooled 911 generations before water cooling arrived with the 996. Its rounded, still relatively narrow factory bodywork gives RWB's flared fenders real visual contrast to work against: the factory lines stay recognizable underneath, while the added width completely changes the car's stance. That contrast is a big part of the appeal, an unmistakably classic 911 silhouette pushed into something far more aggressive. GT Spirit's reproduction, dated to this build's completion rather than to the donor chassis's original production year, captures that tension.
Casting a Widebody Shape in Resin
A Sealed Body Around Dramatically Flared Arches
GT Spirit casts this RWB build as a sealed, one-piece resin body, with no doors or hood built to open. That construction suits a widebody conversion particularly well, because the flared fenders that define an RWB car flow directly into the door skins with no factory shutline to interrupt the shape, and a sealed casting reproduces that continuous flow more convincingly than a body built to hinge would. The wheel arches hold their exaggerated curve cleanly, and the gap between tire and fender lip reads as the aggressive, low stance RWB builds are known for.
Purple Paint and the Fiberglass Look
Real RWB conversions typically use fiberglass or carbon fiber for the widened fenders, and that material often shows a slightly different surface texture than the factory steel underneath it, a detail serious builders and photographers pay attention to. GT Spirit's purple finish carries enough depth and gloss consistency to suggest a well-executed paint job rather than a mismatched panel, which is the correct read for a build like Son Goku that clearly received careful attention. The purple itself sits bright and saturated rather than muted.
A Tuner Build on a Classic Sports Shelf
RWB occupies its own niche within Porsche collecting, distinct from both factory-original reproductions and generic aftermarket widebody kits, and a Son Goku model reads differently depending on what a collector displays it beside. Set next to a stock 993, it demonstrates exactly how far a widebody conversion pushes a factory shape. Set among other RWB builds from different donor chassis, 930s, 964s, 996s, it becomes part of a specific tuning house's evolving visual language rather than a one-off oddity. At 1:18, the widened stance actually reads as wider than a standard 911 model of the same scale, so give it a little extra shelf width. Judging the fidelity of an RWB reproduction means checking the fender flare's exact profile, since Nakai's builds vary meaningfully car to car, along with the wheel offset relative to the flare and whether the ride height reads as aggressively low as the real conversion sits.
Positioning RWB Against Stock 911 Reproductions
For a Porsche collector already deep into factory-correct reproductions, an RWB build like this one offers a genuinely different collecting angle: a documented, named individual car rather than a factory specification anyone could order. GT Spirit's resin construction sits at a comparable tier to its other 911 reproductions, and the finish quality needed to sell a widebody conversion is arguably a harder test than reproducing a stock body. Displayed as a contrast piece against a factory 993, Son Goku makes the case for tuner culture as a legitimate branch of 911 collecting.
