Anniversary Ace: KAMM’s 912c 60th Edition Honors a Porsche Icon: KAMManufaktur is marking the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 912 with an exceptional collector’s edition of its renowned 912c. This special edition, available in full and semi-carbon forms, showcases KAMM’s dedication to lightweight performance, with weights ranging from just 699 to 750kg in road specification. Unique decals, bespoke heritage paintwork, and exclusive interior details pay homage to the 912’s motorsport achievements, ensuring the collector status of this special model.
A Passion for the 912: KAMM’s Founder Celebrates a Milestone: “The 912 has always been my passion,” says Miki Kázmér, founder of KAMManufaktur. “Being able to create a model that celebrates 60 years since this iconic sports car made its debut, is a very special moment for KAMM. Our anniversary 912c is a unique car, celebrating the incredible character of the 912 and its illustrious place in automotive history.”
From New York to Budapest: The 912’s Enduring Appeal: Introduced at the New York Auto Show in 1965, the 912 was designed as an accessible alternative to the 911, bridging the gap between the 356 and Porsche’s new flagship. While often overshadowed by the 911, the 912 has gained significant respect among enthusiasts and collectors. KAMM’s ultra-lightweight 912c captures the essence of the classic 1960s design, enhanced by in-house developed carbon fiber and crafted by a team with experience from Singer, Koenigsegg, and Porsche Motorsport.
Lightweight Engineering and Authentic Power: The 912c’s Technical Prowess: With only 32,000 original 912s produced, it is far more exclusive than the 911. To keep costs down, Porsche used the 356’s 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which, despite having less horsepower, offered superior handling due to the 912’s lower weight. KAMM’s extensively re-engineered, air-cooled four-cylinder engine, based on the famous 616 powerplant, delivers a pure, analogue driving experience true to the original.
Motorsport Heritage and Bespoke Paintwork: The 912c 60th Edition’s Tribute: The KAMM 912c full carbon 60th Edition celebrates the 912’s motorsport history. In 1967, Sobieslaw Zasada drove his 912 to victory in the European Rally Championship, inspiring the stunning Poland Red paintwork. Another color choice, Bahama Yellow, honors a 912 that excelled in Swedish rallies in 1967. These period liveries, along with every available KAMM 912c option, make these models truly special.
Exclusive Features and Personalized Experience: The 912c 60th Edition’s Offerings: Each 60th Edition model features a Bluetooth audio system, air-conditioning, cabin heater, and wireless phone charging. Buyers can customize their 912c for street or track use with various gearbox ratios, seats, safety equipment, and engine tuning options. They will also enjoy a 1:1 design consultation with Miki Kazmer in Budapest and receive a 60th anniversary racing helmet, bespoke clothing, KAMM artwork, and a carbon fiber scale model.
Modernity Meets Authenticity: KAMM’s Design Philosophy: “I firmly believe that modernity should be subtly included in order to enhance the driving experience, but that authenticity should be guaranteed,” says Kázmér. “That authenticity is what drives us at KAMM and it’s why we have extensively re-engineered every single part of the 912 to create a a sports car suitable for the demands of the modern driver.”
A Collectible Tribute: The 912c 60th Edition’s Legacy: The KAMM 912c 60th Edition is a fitting tribute to the Porsche 912, celebrating its achievements and legacy.
