The Luftgekühlt 11 event is set to make history this October as it brings the first-ever East Coast air-cooled Porsche gathering to Durham, North Carolina. Scheduled for October 4 at the American Tobacco Campus, the event promises a one-of-a-kind celebration of Porsche heritage in a striking historic setting.
A New Chapter for Luftgekühlt
Luftgekühlt, known for its unique and artistic approach to car shows, is expanding its reach beyond the West Coast. Co-founder Patrick Long and Creative Director Jeff Zwart have chosen Durham’s American Tobacco Campus for its distinctive red brick industrial backdrop, perfectly complementing the timeless design of air-cooled Porsches.
Why Durham Is the Perfect Venue
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the American Tobacco Campus dates back to 1874 and was once the center of the tobacco industry. Its historic charm will serve as the canvas for an extraordinary display of rare and significant air-cooled Porsche models, offering enthusiasts on the Atlantic seaboard a fresh opportunity to experience the magic of Luftgekühlt.
Car Submissions for Luftgekühlt 11
Owners of air-cooled Porsches can apply to have their cars displayed at the event. Two display options are available: Feature, which offers a prime location and early arrival access, and Premier, which adds VIP hospitality and access to Friday night’s exclusive gathering. Submissions include QR-coded car profiles via the Bramo app, enhancing the visitor experience with detailed stories and images.
Tickets and Event Details
General admission tickets start at $45 and are available through the event’s official website. Children under 12 may attend for free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. With space limited, early ticket purchases are strongly recommended, as previous Luft events have sold out quickly.
