Flying in from Japan for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, Nakai will personally transform a 2006 Porsche Carrera S into one of his signature masterpieces over two incredible days: April 23rd and 24th, inside the high-octane after market and customization exhibit by R2XPO at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan. With millions of views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Akira Nakai is a cult hero in the car world. Fans across the globe obsess over his unique blend of Japanese craftsmanship, street-racing soul, and dramatic style—hallmarks of his unmistakable RWB builds. Each car is customized by Nakai himself, using only his own tools, and built completely by hand.

"Enthusiasts wait years—and travel thousands of miles—for the privilege of a Nakai build. Now, Auto Show visitors can see it happen live, in real time, right before their eyes. It’s a piece of automotive history in the making. Nakai's first-ever live build at an auto show will bring raw energy, precision craftsmanship, and high drama to the Show floor."

-- Mark Schienberg, president of the New York International Automobile Show.
