Spending an afternoon with the RWB in London is a blend of classic craftsmanship and dynamic driving pleasure, a moment that merges the city’s historic charm with automotive excellence. Based on the Porsche 911 964—the first RWB built in the UK named Hibiki—this modified masterpiece boasts impressive specs: a 3.6-liter flat-six engine delivering 320 horsepower, a 0-60 mph acceleration of 4.8 seconds, and a top speed of 175 mph, paired with a manual transmission for full driver control.
Its core technical advantages lie in RWB’s signature handcrafted wide-body kit, precision-tuned suspension, and optimized aerodynamics, ensuring exceptional stability even on London’s narrow streets. The worldwide patented rear drivetrain and advanced battery management system (for electric variants) enhance performance while maintaining near 50:50 weight distribution.
Driving it through London’s streets is exhilarating: the responsive steering offers precise control, the exhaust emits a throaty roar that echoes gently against historic buildings, and the firm yet comfortable seats keep you steady during sharp turns. It balances raw power with agility, gliding smoothly through city traffic and thrilling on open stretches. This afternoon drive isn’t just about speed—it’s about experiencing a handcrafted icon that honors classic heritage while embracing modern engineering, making every moment behind the wheel unforgettable.
