What is Luftgekühlt? Aside from a word with heavy cut-and-paste energy? It's a car show celebrating air-cooled Porsches. But unlike some grassy 911 corral at Road Atlanta, walking through a Luft show is like walking through an amusement park where the best ride is time itself. It's not just the multimillion-dollar cars that make the exhibit so rich; much of the joy is owed to the direction and thought put into each setting. Last year's Luft, the sixth edition, was hosted at Universal Studios' backlot, where you could see a 911 Safari on the old Three Amigos! set.

This past Friday marked the return of “Luft” since the last event in 2019, with founders Patrick Long and Howie Idelson teaming up with Jeff Zwart once more to put on a show worthy of their reputations. What began in Los Angeles has since gone international, with Luft holding events in England and Germany in the past years, but for the seventh iteration the team was back in the United States in a city that’s central to the lore of American motorsports: Indianapolis.

Each year the organizers of Luftgekühlt (German for “air-cooled”) select a new venue for the backdrop of their air-cooled Porsche event. A few months before the event, the host city is announced, but the specific venue remains a secret until closer to the actual date. This leaves attendees left to imagine what the organizers, Patrick Long, Jeff Zwart, and Howie Idelson, might have in store for Luft each year.
