We have a massive group of cars from across the United States and Canada coming to #Luft6. Mobil 1™ will be honoring a few Porsche owners who piled on the miles by covering their next case of synthetic motor oil and fuel for the long drive home. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Luft6 #PorscheClassic ⁣⁣ @porsche @pirelliusa @chopard @LeicaCameraUSA @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @mobil1 @brembobrake @intercitylines
50 years of the 917⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 917 PA No. 917-028⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Flat-12, NA air-cooled engine, mounted midship, twin overhead camshafts, fuel injected, 4494cc, 580hp at 8400rpm.⁣⁣ 1710 pounds⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We are excited to feature this car, and each generation of the 917 Spyder at #Luft6. ⁣⁣ 1969 was not the end the our display car’s Can-Am competition life. Acquired by Vasek Polak and converted into a 917/10 with an 1100hp turbo motor and updated bodywork, the 917 PA entered more Can-Am races than any other Group 7 car, remaining competitive until its retirement. It is now restored to its original, naturally aspirated, flat-12 specification.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Photos courtesy Autosports Marketing Associates, LTD. and Kerry Morse archive images⁣⁣ Car: via @revsinstiute⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Luft6 #PorscheClassic ⁣⁣ @porsche @pirelliusa @chopard @LeicaCameraUSA @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @mobil1 @brembobrake @intercitylines
O.G. 550⁣ ⁣ Chassis number 550-0090, aka “The Last 550,” will be displayed in the @Chopard gallery at #Luft6. The gallery will connect the watchmaker's Mille Miglia timepiece collection to a period-correct and perfectly flawed example of the 550. The immaculate Spyder is considered the most original and best-preserved in existence, as it remains unrestored and nearly exactly as it left the factory, with original paint, interior and driveline. ⁣ Photos: @roadscholars1⁣ ⁣ #Luft6 #PorscheClassic ⁣ @porsche @pirelliusa @chopard @LeicaCameraUSA @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @mobil1 @brembobrake @intercitylines⁣ ⁣

Targa topped-two seater. ⁣ ⁣ 914/6 GT No. 9140432542⁣ Flat-six air-cooled engine, mounted midship, single overhead camshaft, 1991 cc, 210 hp at 8000 rpm.⁣ ⁣ Luftgekühlt 6 plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 914 with an exceptional collection of original and iconic GTs. ⁣ ⁣ Our poster child for #Luft6 is one of 12 original, werks 914/6 GTs. This car was entered in the 1970 Marathon de la Route by the Porsche factory. The endurance rally on the Nürburgring Nordschleife was called "The World's Longest Race" because it lasted 86 hours. That year the three team 914/6s swept to a 1-2-3 domination. The Luft 6 display car, #2, was driven by Claude Ballot-Léna (F), Günter Steckkönig (D) and Nicolas Koob (L). They benefitted from Porsche’s tactic of only using two sets of hard tires over the entire distance to cut down service time.  After 3.5 days of driving Porsche and the 914/6 GT had made their point.  Note: The sister car (#3) was street driven to #LuftMUC by its owner, race engineer and legend, Roland Kussmaul.⁣ ⁣ Photos and car courtesy of @revsinstitute / Porsche Archive⁣ ⁣ #Luft6 #PorscheClassic ⁣ @porsche @pirelliusa @chopard @LeicaCameraUSA @rmsothebys @hagertyclassiccars @mobil1 @brembobrake @intercitylines
