Victoria’s Secret

Victoria has a secret. As you cast your eyes over her body, you travel up from the ground, moving over the perfectly rounded hips. You try and avert your gaze… it’s no use. Her lines are flawless, the curves seductive. She pulls you in. You enter her, pushing all the right buttons. As you do she gasps – breathless. She’s grounded now, there’s no avoiding it, no escape, no direction to move except forward.

Hidden behind a casting couch at Car Porn Racing sits Victoria, the first RWB Porsche to exist in the Philippines.

RWB, which stands for RAUH-Welt Begriff or ‘Rough World Style’ is a Porsche tuner in Japan. Combining European and Japanese tuning elements, an extremely unique piece of art is created by the one and only Nakai-san. He will travel to your part of the world, and build your RWB Porsche in person in a matter of days.

The most noticeable and impressive feature of ‘standard’ RWB Porsches is of course the breathtaking width change.

Size doesn’t matter, it’s about how you use it. Squeezing 18 x 11 inches in the front whilst the rear haunches lower themselves over whopping 18 x 13.5 inch custom Work Meisters, Victoria fills gap with ease.

As you see her in the flesh, your heart races, but what truly takes the air out of your lungs are Victoria’s dirty secrets. Car Porn Racing is synonymous with two things. The first is their beautiful compulsion to slam everything to the ground on airbags. A full AirREX and AccuAir suspension setup has Victoria sacked deep to the rim in seconds.

The second dirty secret was still to be aired when we were shooting this gorgeous model.

Victoria is based off a 1994 Porsche Carrera 2 993. The automatic, naturally aspirated 3.6L 6cyl slug was still seated under the enormous championship wing.

Ian King, owner of Car Porn Racing had put the final modification to Victoria on hold so that it wasn’t in pieces for our shoot. The day after we left, the motor and transmission were ripped from the beautiful body and replaced with a 550hp 5.7L LS1 V8 attached to a manual G50 gearbox.

Victoria’s interior has had some upgrading whilst they were at it. Featuring a MOMO Drift steering wheel, Recaro SR7 bucket seats and a Pioneer radio, it has updated the styling in the 90’s cabin.

Zweite Entwicklung – Second Development.

Whilst aesthetically enhanced, Victoria wears no makeup, still retaining the factory Amaranth Violet Paint.

There are literally no angles that you can shoot this car poorly from.

Each piece of carefully constructed body kit just flows.

This street registered and driven (not that there are any modification laws in the Philippines) is a true testament to innovation, build quality and uniqueness. Still or moving, the cars presence stands up to any runway angel.

For the grand finale of this set Matyas and I contacted brilliant photographer and post processor James Dean. His editing and composite work is as incredible as the car itself. Whilst in person, Matyas was limited to a Filipino back alleyway, James was able to construct simply mindblowingly beautiful images in post processing.
