the luftgekhult rollout.

Seeing cars at a show is cool, and watching them tear it up on the track is even cooler. But honestly, spotting cars like these out on the street is the coolest. That’s why I had to grab some panning shots of the Porsches leaving Luftgekühlt Poland.

Watching these iconic cars roll by with their engines roaring was exhilarating! It’s moments like these where my passion for these beauties really comes from.

Passion for Porsches: Luftgekühlt Poland.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved Porsches; there’s just something about their subtle design and the unmatched flat-six rumble that captivates me.

My passion for these iconic sports cars grew further at my first real job. After studying to become a mechanic, I started working at a local air-cooled shop called Kieft en Klok. Although they primarily focus on air-cooled Volkswagens, there was a wide array of Porsches coming through their workshop.

When it comes to Porsches, the name Luftgekühlt is inescapable. Organized by two Porsche-affiliated legends, Patrick Long and Jeff Zwart, this event began nine years ago in Los Angeles as a small gathering of like-minded individuals. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the biggest gatherings of air-cooled Porsches.

Their choice of locations and Jeff's artistic eye for placing every car in a designated spot make these events incredibly photogenic, attracting photographers and car enthusiasts alike.

In 2019, the Universal Studios backlot served as the backdrop for Luftgekühlt #6, and when I saw those stunning pictures, I knew I had to attend someday.

Traveling to America just to attend a car show wasn’t really feasible for me, so when I found out the event was coming to Poland, I immediately bought a ticket and booked my flight.

I had previously visited Wrocław for the now-famous Ultrace show, and I was familiar with the location of the old train station, "Dworzec Główny," because I had taken some pictures of my friend’s Ford Sierra there in 2019. The main hall of the old station has since been transformed into a trendy bar and food hall, while the outdoor area was decorated with colorful LED lights, wooden podiums, and various stands from renowned brands like Carbone, Singer, and Rennmeister.

It was incredible to connect with other Porsche fans, share stories, and check out the incredible artistry and engineering behind the air-cooled legends. This event wasn’t just another car show it was a celebration of the passion ‘‘we’’ all share for Porsches.
