Pics From Magnus Walker's Open Call Hamburg Porsche Meet

Urban Outlaw Magnus Walker is a Porsche enthusiast to the core. So it is not surprising that he decided to host a spontaneous gathering while on his latest trip to Germany. Despite giving only 4 days notice of the event via Instagram, more than 200 cars showed up to the meet. Everything from 356's to 991 911's were represented, with a few special gems thrown in the mix.

Name The Time And Place

Purists may question Magnus Walker's outlaw builds and his outrageous hairdo and tattoos, but it is clear that this man lives and breathes all things Porsche. This unwavering love and infectious motto for owners to "get out and drive" has elevated him to somewhat of a celebrity. So when he one day heard a voice that whispered "If you host it, they will come," he decided to have an impromptu Porsche gathering while in Germany. Needless to say, the pictures speak for themselves as the event was a major hit.

Mid-Engineed Classic

The mid-engined Porsche 904 was the successor to the 718 and debuted in 1964 as a street-going model to meet homologation requirements for international FIA-GT class racing. Just over 100 904's were built, and while most of them were fitted with a 2.0L flat 4-cylinder engine, several were built with the 2.0L flat-six out of the 911. Suffice it to say, seeing any variation of a 904 on the road is quite a treat.

Green With Envy

Here we have a beautiful 964 Turbo S which looks to be finished in a stunning chartreuse paint scheme. The 964 Turbo S featured a 3.3L turbocharged engine capable of producing 375 hp & 375 lb-ft of torque: still a potent powerplant amongst modern sports cars.

Show Me The Goods

Unlike new 911's sitting on showroom floors, the engine and a number of other working bits could actually be seen on the business end of Porsche's by simply popping open the decklid. The example above is of a very well kept long-hood 911 Targa.

Where It All Began

The Porsche 356 is the car that started it all for the German brand way back in 1948. In many ways, the 356 was considered the hot-rod version of the ever popular Volkswagen Beetle. This particular car is the "SC" variant produced from 1964-1964 and, at the time, featured Porsche's most powerful engine ever made.

In The Name of Speed

One of the standout cars at the meet was this 934/935-inspired build with full Martini Racing graphics. While not a lot is known about the engine spec of the car, it was clearly stripped down of all unnecessary components for the sake of speed. Throwing on huge fender flares and filling them with meaty tires, and adding on a massive wing with a low hanging chin spoiler out front screams race car on the street.

Turbo Go Whoosh

No Porsche gathering would be complete without a 930 Turbo or two, so naturally, this one caught the eye of many of those in attendance.  The ravishing emerald green metallic paint and RSR/IROC style front bumper help to make the car stand out from the pack. The gold Fuchs wheels add the perfect finishing touch to an already beautiful car.

The Last Widowmaker

Although the air-cooled cars were well represented at the event, there were some standout water-cooled models including this rare 997 GT2. Worldwide production numbers for the 997 generation GT2 are estimated to be around 1250 cars.

Hot Wings

This shot gives us a nice perspective of the various wing styling that has made its way onto 911 models over the years. The iconic fixed "ducktail" (far right) as introduced on the 1973 2.7 Carrera RS, the last iteration of the "whale tail" as found on the 993 Turbo (middle), and the integrated speed-activated electric spoiler as first introduced on the 964 model 911's (left).

Safari Fun

Safari Porsche builds have been popping up a little more regularly in recent years, so it was nice to see a few of them represented in Hamburg. The idea is to basically make some heavy suspension modifications, throw on some knobby tires, massage the engine, and install bumpers to provide additional ground clearance. Complete these things and the 911 will take you down any road your desire, whether it is paved or not...
