Forget Godzilla: a load of old Porsches have taken over Tokyo

Check out these awesome pics from Luftgekühlt’s first Japanese gathering

Published: 30 Mar 2026

We’re sure you’re well accustomed to seeing loads of JDM oddities and wildly modified Nissan Skylines parked up at Daikoku PA by now. Heck, even Lewis Hamilton was there last week with a Ferrari F40 and a natty pair of sunglasses. Not a bad company car.

Anyway, how about something slightly different from Japan for a moment? The wonderful images up above are from Luftgekühlt’s inaugural Asia-Pacific event, where more than 220 air-cooled Porsches gathered on the KK Line Expressway in Tokyo.

Yep, we wish we were there too. Luftgekühlt is the brainchild of former Porsche factory driver (and two-time Le Mans class winner) Patrick Long and creative director Howie Idelson, hence the rather special cars and the exceedingly cool aesthetic.

Enjoy.
