AIR-COOLED PORSCHES IN ALL THEIR GLORY<\/h4>\n

Luftgek\u00fchlt<\/span><\/a> (air-cooled in German) was an event conceptualized by two guys \u2014\u00a0Patrick Long and Howie Idelson over coffee. It was meant to be a gathering for a select few interested in air-cooled classics from Porsche. Little did they know, a show that started just four\u00a0years ago with 40 cars would\u00a0transform into a cult classic, with hundreds of cars on show and thousands of visitors. Turo was fortunate to be invited to Luft4 in the LA harbor area. Here\u2019s what we saw!<\/span><\/p>\n

The prize of the show was this 1951 Porsche 356\/2 063. The first post-World War Two\u00a0German LeMans entrant that launched a tradition of wins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The main hall featured lot cars in classic silver. Incredible to see these rare finds from the 1950’s in pristine condition.<\/p>\n

Next up was a group of LeMans legends. The iconic 917K in the Gulf livery exposed its massive 5L, flat 12 engine. Note the huge 17″ rear tires!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More Porsches from every decade.<\/p>\n

The parking lot of the show was worthy of a show in itself. I never thought I’d see the one and only Carrera GT, as well as lots of GT3s, GT4s, and, of course, the iconic 911<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to Patrick and Howie for hosting us \u2014 you made this Porsche enthusiast’s month!<\/p>\n
