The KAMM 912c, a meticulously crafted ultra-lightweight sports car, has officially touched down in the United States, marking a milestone for KAMManufaktur. Known for reimagining the iconic Porsche 912, this Budapest-based company is rewriting the rules of classic car craftsmanship, offering a driving experience that seamlessly blends nostalgia with cutting-edge engineering.
A Lightweight Marvel with Carbon Fiber Craftsmanship
The KAMM 912c pays homage to the 1960s design of the original Porsche 912 while elevating it with an extensive use of carbon fiber. This innovation reduces the car’s weight to an impressive 750 kg, setting a benchmark in its class. The lightweight body panels, reinforced with Cro-Moly tubing, deliver strength and rigidity, creating a race-ready yet road-friendly experience.
Precision-Engineered Performance
At the heart of the KAMM 912c is a re-engineered 2.0-liter air-cooled four-cylinder engine. Based on the iconic ‘616’ powerplant, it produces 185 hp and 205 Nm of torque, delivering robust performance for enthusiasts who value precision and analog driving. A short-shift transmission, ZF limited-slip differential, and AP Racing brakes enhance the car’s dynamic capabilities, while TracTive coil-over suspension ensures an engaging yet comfortable ride.
Bespoke Interiors with Hidden Comforts
Inside, the 912c is a blend of vintage aesthetics and modern convenience. Smiths instruments and a Fusina steering wheel evoke a timeless feel, while amenities such as air conditioning, wireless charging, and heated seats are subtly integrated. Buyers can choose between racing or touring seats crafted in collaboration with Fusina, reflecting the car’s dual nature of performance and usability.
A Global Vision Rooted in Passion
Founder Miklós “Miki” Kázmér’s passion for the Porsche 912 drives every element of the 912c. Inspired by the classic 911R during a visit to California’s Petersen Museum, Kázmér embarked on a journey to reimagine the 912 with modern performance and craftsmanship. The arrival of the first KAMM 912c in Miami represents a full-circle moment for the brand.
Exclusive Offerings and Customization
KAMM offers the 912c in two coupe versions: the Semi-Carbon and Full-Carbon, along with an upcoming Targa variant set for 2025. Each car is built on a classic 912 donor chassis and meticulously crafted over 12 months to meet the unique preferences of its owner. With limited production slots available each year, owning a KAMM 912c is an exclusive experience.
A Statement of Craftsmanship
The KAMM 912c is more than a restomod; it’s a testament to the art of automotive re-engineering. From its lightweight construction to its bespoke components, every detail reflects the passion and expertise of the KAMManufaktur team. Now, with its arrival in the US, the KAMM 912c is ready to inspire a new generation of enthusiasts.
