air cooled
Old-school engines that stay cool from air passing over them instead of water pumping through. For Porsche fans, air-cooled means the classic 911s made before 1999. They sound different, feel different, and cost a fortune because purists consider them the real thing.
An engine cooling method that uses airflow over external fins rather than liquid coolant circulating through the engine block. Famously used by Porsche 911s through 1998.
