Luftgekühlt, the premier air-cooled Porsche event has announced that tickets will go on sale on Monday, July 20, 2026. The exact location in Atlanta has not been announced yet, but expect to hear the exact location when tickets go on sale. Luft 12 is set for Saturday, October 10, 2026.
The Luft 12 web site describes the location as:
Luft builds from the eastern moment in Durham and takes the air-cooled happening to the heart of the American South for the first time.
Diverse, lively, and cinematic. With the rich motorsport history of Road Atlanta and home of North America's Porsche Headquarters as a backdrop, Luft 12 is coming soon.
The tease of Road Atlanta and the Porsche headquarters provide multiple location possibilities. With Road Atlanta being on the north side of Atlanta and Porsche headquarters being on the south side, it is tough to book a hotel yet since it can take up to 90-minutes to get from one end of Atlanta to the other.
Luftgekühlt announced ticket sales opening on their Facebook account which is a change since Instagram is generally the favored means of communication. The Luftgekühlt web site does not have the announcement yet. Here was the Facebook announcement:
Luftgekühlt is at Atlanta, GA.
The soul of the South has already teased us with its charm.
Our previous string of curated moments at Petit Le Mans was only a taste of what this great city would hold for us. This time it's different. 90 days out. Porsche's American home is close enough to feel it.
Something bigger is coming.
We hope you're ready for Luft 12, Atlanta.
Tickets go live July 20.

What is Luftgekühlt
Luftgekühlt (German for "air-cooled" and pronounced looft-guh-kyoolt) is one of the premier automotive lifestyle events in the world, strictly celebrating the history and culture of air-cooled Porsches.
Founded by two-time Le Mans class winner Patrick Long and creative director Howie Idelson, it has grown from a niche California gathering into a global phenomenon. Rather than a traditional, rigid car show with rows of vehicles parked on a lawn, Luftgekühlt curates a highly cinematic experience that blends rare vintage sports cars and historic race cars with industrial architecture, art, design, and food culture.
What to Expect at Luft 12 in Atlanta
Scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026, Luft 12 marks the franchise’s deep dive into the American South, building on the massive success of Luft 11 in Durham, North Carolina.
The Eligible Fleet: The show strictly features air-cooled models, spanning from the early 356, the 914 and up through early 911's, G-Body 911's, 964, and 993 generations of the 911, alongside rare factory race cars (like the 904, 917, 935, and 962).
The Atlanta Backdrop: Atlanta is a perfect canvas for the event. The city serves as the home of Porsche Cars North America Headquarters and the Porsche Experience Center.
The Calendar Synergy: The event is strategically timed for October 10, just one week after the iconic Petit Le Mans wraps up down the road at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. This scheduling is expected to bring out an exceptional lineup of heavy-hitting motorsport personalities, historic race machinery, and global enthusiasts who are staying in the region.
The Venue Mystery
In classic Luftgekühlt fashion, the exact venue is kept under wraps during the early planning stages to build anticipation and tension. Instead of using generic convention halls, the organizers select unique spaces that tell a story—past venues have included lumber yards, movie studios, dynamic urban campuses, and industrial docks.
The organizers are currently dripping out event details, with exact location coordinates, curated display selections, and spectator ticketing info releasing closer to the fall date.
