The renowned air-cooled Porsche celebration, Luftgekühlt, is set to mark its 10th anniversary on October 5, 2024, at the iconic Universal Studios Backlot in Los Angeles. Known for bringing together legendary Porsches in a curated display, Luft 10 promises an extraordinary experience for air-cooled Porsche fans, and one of its standout attractions is the 1971 Martini Racing Porsche 917K.
An Unmissable Moment: The 1971 Porsche 917K
