Luftgekühlt started as a small gathering in a Venice Beach parking lot, Los Angeles, California, a decade ago

The event that celebrates the legacy of air-cooled Porsches has grown into a global sensation

While the focus is on air-cooled Porsches, expect to see a variety of models, including water-cooled variants, show up at the venue

Luftgekühlt 10, running in its 10th year coincides with 50th anniversary of the iconic 911 Turbo

The event will feature iconic racing cars like the Vasek Polak Racing Porsche 934

Attendees will have the chance to see the evolution of the 911 Turbo, from its early days to its modern form

Luftgekühlt 10 offers a full weekend of Porsche-related activities, including a pre-party, main event, and after-parties

The event will be held at the Universal Studios Backlot in Los Angeles on October 5th

While Early Access tickets are sold out, General Admission tickets are still available but act fast as they are selling quickly

This is a comprehensive GT3 RS conversion, that is based on a 987 Boxster

The creator of this GT3 RS replica is swapped out the 2.7-liter boxer engine for a Tesla powertrain

When finished, the EV 991 GT3 RS will look exactly like Paul's thrid project - a white GT3 RS

The new body is all fiberglass except for the doors

Not detail left untouched. The 991 GT3 RS replica even gets proper mirrors

Eventually, the EV 911 GT3 RS will get a 991 dashboard in place of the 987 dash

The Tesla e-motor will provide 500 horsepower - exactly the same as a real 991 GT3 RS

The creator of this replica believes he can achieve similar weight and weight distribution to the real GT3 RS

The Boxster's convertible body style means a lot less cutting is required, compared to a Cayman

This allows for a more straightforward mounting of the roof and side panels that form the iconic 911 roofline

Despite the looming threat of electrification, Porsche continues to innovate with internal combustion technology

The automaker's latest engine design patent with the patent office squeezes 2 extra strokes in between the traditional 4 strokes, for a total of six strokes

The main feature is a new crankshaft that can alter its center rotating point, essentially giving the piston two different top and bottom dead centers

This means that Porsche's six-stroke engine design features variable compression

The patent describes the working sequence as 6 individual strokes, but also 2 sets of 3-stroke steps

A traditional 4-stroke sequence goes like this: intake - compression - power - exhaust

Porsche's 6-stroke design goes like this: intake - compression - power - compression - power - exhaust

The system would greatly increase the engine's energy efficiency, especially if combined with the T-Hybrid powertrain

A 6-stroke engine, working with the T-Hybrid system, and powered by synthetic fuels would ensure longevity for internal combustion engines

It has been over a year since the Ford Mustang GTD debuted, and only now we're getting to know the actual power figures of this race-spec Mustang

Ford has disclosed that the Mustang GTD produces 815 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque!

The Mustang GTD sports the same 5.2-liter supercharged V8 from the latest Shelby GT500 with a dry-sump lubrication and a 7,650 RPM redline

Ford even quoted the top speed rating of the Mustang GTD, which is a whopping 202 mph!

Like the 911 GT3 RS, the Mustang GTD features a drag reduction system or DRS, helping it to achieve those high speeds

Ford even commented that the Mustang GTD's horsepower per liter is better than the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and the carmaker is correct!

If you calculate the Mustang GTD's 815 hp and 5.2-liter displacement, the result is 156.7 hp per liter

As for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, its 4.0-liter engine displacement and 518 hp turns out to be 129.5 hp per liter

While we know that the Mustang GTD is unlike any other Mustang and is very lightweight, we don't have the exact figures, yet

However, we think it will be slightly on the heavier side compared to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, thanks to its bigger size and a heavier powertrain unit

Porsche launched the 911 S/T in 2023 to celebrate the 911's 60th anniversary

The S/T is a lightweight model with a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter 518 horsepower engine from a 911 GT3 RS

Weighing just 3,056 pounds, the S/T is paired with a six-speed manual transmission

Reddit user, HackeSpitze901, recently shared their insights on the S/T after two months of ownership and 1,800 miles on the clock

The S/T offers a significantly improved ride quality compared to the stiffer 992 GT3

The absence of rear-wheel steering contributes to a more organic driving experience

The S/T reworked six-speed manual transmission with shorter gear ratios makes for an engaging drive

The S/T's 4.0L flat-six engine is finely tuned for mid-range responsiveness and high-rpm performance

The S/T's steering, while good, lacks the feedback and precision of older hydraulic systems

The 911 S/T is limited to just 1963 examples and costs $290,000

The first turbocharged Porsche was not a 911

But one of the final iterations of the 917 race car, more specifically the 917/10 and the 917/30

The first 911 to receive a turbocharger was the 1974 Carrera RSR Turbo 2.1

Thanks to a big single turbo, its 2.1-liter boxer engine produced from 500 to 620 hp

In 2024, Porsche celebrates 50 years of the 911 Turbo - its most capable road-going variant

Because of its big single turbo and laggy characteristics, the 930 Turbo was nicknamed the Widowmaker

The more powerful, 3.3-liter variants of the original 911 Turbo feature a K26 turbocharger, for upto 330 hp in the Turbo S model

2006 marked a milestone for Porsche's turbocharging game, with the 997

The Porsche 997 Turbo was the first 911 to feature variable-geometry turbochargers

Some advantages of VGT technology include better heat resistance, more power, and broader torque curve

The more track-focused, 997 GT2 and GT2 RS models feature similar turbo technology, but with upgraded turbos for even more power

The first production hybrid 911 marked another evolution in Porsche's forced induction technology

The T-Hybrid loses the twin-turbo for a big single turbo that's electrically-assisted

The turbocharger's E-motor helps with spooling and can turn excess exhaust gasses into energy

The stock Porsche M96 engine in the 996/997 is not the best when it comes to reliability

Rebuilding or replacing the M96 engine can be very expensive (up to $18k) and a Honda K-series engine serves as an affordable, and reliable alternative

Benjamin Sipson from Bayside Fabrication has created a K-swap kit for Porsche 996/997 models

The K-swap kit includes engine and transmission mounts, a crossmember, spacers, and fasteners

The K-series engine itself is relatively affordable, with prices starting around $900

But you may also need to factor in costs for the turbo kit, clutch, fuel system, and potential transmission upgrade

Also, if you're looking for more power over what the stock mill offers, K-Swap specialist and tuner Nick, offers hardware that can help you accomplish that

Reliable, powerful, and readily available, K-Series engines are highly tunable and some folks have managed to crank out 1,000 horsepower

You can select from Stage 1 (budget-friendly), Stage 2 (more power), or Stage 3 (extreme power)

Expect to spend between $15,000 and $30,000 or more, including parts and labor.
