Hoonigan is giving away a Porsche 997 Carrera S built by RAUH-Welt Begriff founder Akira Nakai, along with $35,000 in cash, in its first RWB sweepstakes. Named Souseiki, the car was built by Nakai over two days in front of a live audience. Hoonigan says this was the first time one of its builds was completed from start to finish before a live audience.
The sweepstakes runs through December 31, 2026, with entries available through eligible purchases at Hoonigan.com, Rotiform.com, and participating Rotiform dealers. Dealer purchases require an online receipt submission. No purchase is necessary, and the official rules, eligibility requirements, and all entry methods are available at Hoonigan.com.
Souseiki is finished in Guards Red, with Nakai’s RWB widebody and custom Rotiform x RWB three-piece forged wheels wrapped in Yokohama ADVAN Apex tires. Bilstein coilovers handle the suspension. BBi Autosport hand-built the StreetCup harness bar and cat-back exhaust, while the interior features OMP RT seats with six-point harnesses, a numbered Hoonigan x RWB 15th anniversary steering wheel from a limited run, and a matching shift knob. Evolv clear paint protection film covers the exterior.
Hoonigan’s relationship with RWB dates to 2011, when Nakai built the first RWB Porsches in the U.S. Among them was Hoonigan co-founder Brian Scotto’s 964 Turbo, which Nakai named Hoonigan. Souseiki translates to “Genesis,” with the new build marking 15 years of both Hoonigan and RWB’s presence in the U.S. Nakai said the 997 was built in the same spirit as the RWB cars that compete in Japan’s Idlers 12 Hour endurance race and that he hopes the winner drives it hard.
A documentary exploring RWB’s roots in Japanese motorsport and the Idlers 12 Hour, featuring Scotto, Nakai, and Alexi Smith, premieres on Hoonigan’s YouTube channel on November 23 at 9 AM PT. Behind-the-scenes build content and additional Hoonigan x RWB collaboration products are also planned.
