Porsche Lifestyle Event Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 Returns to Costa Mesa

Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1, a Porsche lifestyle event, returns to Costa Mesa, California, for its fourth annual installment. Born from the acclaimed Luftgekühlt series of events that focus on the history, people and culture centered around air-cooled classic Porsches, Air|Water includes the full spectrum of Porsche cars, ranging from vintage classics to the latest innovations. The event takes place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the OC Fair and Event Center. Mobil 1 returns as the title partner at Air|Water, and Dunlop will be the new official tire of the event.

“From vintage to modern, racing to street, Air|Water’s vision has always been to have a broad appeal that connects people to the complete story of Porsche,” said Patrick Long, founder of Air|Water. “In a similar manner to pushing the automotive engineering envelope, we strive to continually deliver more engaging event experiences for our partners, car owners, first timers and loyal attendees.”

Showcasing the History & Evolution of the Porsche

This year’s Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 will feature themed areas that showcase Porsche’s history and evolution, including a celebration of Porsche GT cars, honoring 75 years of Porsche Motorsport; the 90th birthday of the 911’s designer Butzi Porsche; and 60 years of the iconic GTP special racing class. There will also be a focus on convertible models, including the anniversary of 30 years of the Boxster and 60 years of the Targa. The Air|Water Solution campaign pairs owners’ current or aspirational Porsches together to show the utility of past and present side by side.

The Live Broad Arrow Porsche Auction

The Live Broad Arrow Porsche Auction during the show will feature several stand-out limited-edition examples. At last year’s auction a 1989 Ruf Yellowbird sold for $4,650,000. Confirmed for the 2026 auction is a pair of unique transaxle racing examples in the 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo Cup “Diet 7UP VIP” car and the 1980 Porsche 924 SCCA D-Production. The auction will run parallel with a showcase of unique Porsche vehicles that can tackle rugged off-road terrain at the FCP Euro Action Sports Arena.

The Exhibit Hall at Air|Water

More than 50 exhibitors at the trade show will deliver a vibrant array of Porsche-related products and experiences, including rare parts, exclusive automotive art and driving/race apparel.
