The creator of My Favorite Carrera, Kia Asamiya, is himself a huge fan of Arsham’s works, and a four-panel comic made by Asamiya, about the RWBA, was on display for the day alongside a wrapped vehicle with a motif featuring the three main characters from My Favorite Carrera.Īmong the other highlights was a surprise appearance by Jacky Ickx, the legendary Formula One driver and Paris-Dakar winner who, in 1982, drove a Group C Porsche 956 to his sixth Le Mans victory. The RWBA is based on a 964-generation Porsche 911, with a flat-nose, all-white exterior and full Arsham Green leather interior.Īrsham is well-versed in Japanese automotive culture, and takes inspiration from Japanese street culture, including manga such as Wangan Midnight and My Favorite Carrera. Known for projects such as the ‘356 Bonsai’, where he altered the design of his own 1955 356 Speedster to reflect the Japanese spirit of wabisabi, Arsham collaborated on the new project with the Japanese Porsche tuner RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF (RWB). The latest work from artist Daniel Arsham, entitled RWBA, also made its world premiere at the weekend. The two new models weren’t the only cars turning heads at the festival, which was themed ‘House of Porsche’.
