Air | Water 2025 Lived Up To Its Name

The latest edition of Air | Water might have missed the California sun, but that did nothing to dampen the spirits.

Hundreds of extraordinary cars descended on Orange County's Fair & Event Center to celebrate the water and air-cooled eras of Porsche. Scroll down to catch our favourite captures from the event.

Launched in 2023 from the team behind the groundbreaking Luftgekühlt event, Air | Water merges the past and present of Porsche, pulling together the very earliest eras of Porsche with the often-overlooked transaxle era, right up to the latest supercars, all curated in an impossibly cinematic way.

Unseasonably wet, the rain and wind did little to dampen spirits, with onlookers treated to some hidden gems, from historic racing cars to owner-modified examples and the latest builds from the ground zero of car culture.

Drawing attendees from California and further afield, it's an opportunity for friends to catch up and unofficially kick off the summer driving season.

There may be no word yet on where the next celebration will be held, but we know two things: the car selection will continue to raise the stakes, and a few more people might bring an umbrella.
