Luftgekühlt 10, a highly anticipated celebration of Porsche’s air-cooled history, is set to honor the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 Turbo in spectacular fashion at the Universal Studios Backlot. As the original Porsche icon, the 911 Turbo has become synonymous with high-performance and cutting-edge technology since its debut in 1974. The event, scheduled for October 5th, will showcase an impressive lineup of original and modified 911 Turbo models, marking a milestone for this legendary vehicle.
Honoring the 911 Turbo Legacy
The Porsche 911 Turbo, introduced at the 1974 Paris Motor Show, established its legacy with its distinctive flared fenders and Whale Tail spoiler. Luftgekühlt 10 will feature a collection of significant 911 Turbo models, paying homage to five decades of design and performance innovation. The celebration will include both original and modified examples, staying true to the event’s focus on showcasing exceptional Porsches.
Adding to the excitement, a notable racing star will be on display: Chassis #0179, a Vasek Polak Racing Porsche 934. This 930-based model, driven by racing legends George Follmer and Hurley Haywood, clinched the 1976 Trans-Am Championship. With its rich motorsport history, the 934 exemplifies Porsche’s dominance on the track.
