Organised by noted Southern California creative director Howie Idelson and Porsche Factory Team driver Patrick Long, Luftgekühlt is an annual series of Porsche-focused events that brings together more than 5,000 automobile hobbyists, collectors and a cross-generational mix of enthusiasts. To kick off Luftgekühlt’s fourth edition, a cocktail reception was held on 6 May at RM Replica Shoes ’s Culver City offices. In keeping with Luftgekühlt’s mission to bring together “historically significant or interesting cars, both race and street,” RM Replica Shoes ’s displayed a particularly significant selection of air-cooled Porsches for the occasion, offering guests a unique opportunity to view some of the most exciting models participating in Luftgekühlt 4 before the Porsche meet the following day. The reception also marked the launch of the Luftgekühlt Book, a 260-page tome chronicling the first three years of the ever-growing air-cooled happening. Click ahead for images from the evening.
