KAMM 912c Launches In The US: A Bespoke Ultra-Lightweight Sports Car Experience
KAMManufaktur has made its mark in the US with the delivery of its first 912c model to a customer in Miami. This ultra-lightweight sports car, known for its carbon fibre bodywork, weighs just 750kg. The re-engineered four-cylinder '616' engine produces an impressive 185hp. The 912c is celebrated for its craftsmanship, driving dynamics, and comfort, with plans for a Targa version in 2025.
The KAMM 912c is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Porsche 912, originally launched in the US at the New York Auto Show in 1965. Known for its usability and agility, KAMManufaktur has elevated this character by enhancing craftsmanship, performance, and everyday practicality. Each car is crafted from a classic 912 donor vehicle and updated with lightweight carbon fibre panels while maintaining the original chassis.
Founder Miklós "Miki" Kázmér's passion for Porsche’s 912 led to the creation of the 912c. Inspired by a visit to California’s Petersen Museum, Kázmér aimed to capture the essence of the original design. "I’ve always had a passion for the 912 and the 911," he says. "But seeing the original 911R at the museum sparked my journey towards the 912c."
The KAMM 912c offers more than just an updated classic look. It features modern essentials discreetly integrated for comfort without compromising on authenticity or craftsmanship. Partnerships with renowned brands like Fusina and TracTive ensure that every detail exceeds expectations while staying true to its roots.
Underneath its sleek exterior, KAMM has transformed the original engine into a powerful 2.0-litre unit delivering 185hp and 205Nm of torque. The short-shift transmission connects to a Porsche hydraulic racing clutch before power reaches a ZF limited-slip differential. AP Racing provides braking power, while TracTive coil-over suspension balances comfort with track-ready handling.
The interior showcases meticulous attention to detail with electronic Smiths instruments and an authentic Fusina steering wheel. Modern touches like air conditioning and wireless phone charging are subtly included, but there are no touchscreens as KAMM prioritises purity.
Weight Reduction Focus
Weight reduction was crucial for Kázmér's team when designing this sports car. Carbon fibre is extensively used throughout construction alongside lightweight Lexan polycarbonate windows. Every component has been redesigned to save weight while maintaining strength through reinforced Cro-Moly tubing or optional FIA-approved roll cages.
KAMManufaktur offers two coupe models: Semi-Carbon retaining some steel bodywork or Full-Carbon featuring full carbon fibre bodywork; both tailored uniquely over twelve months per owner's preferences.
US Expansion
ZWECK serves as North American sales representative specialising in Porsche cars from their Miami facility where they provide performance services too! Alvaro Rodriguez states: "While remaining true to our philosophy," adding how "KAMM faithfully augments original concepts without compromise using modern technology."
"The KAMM 912c is so much more than a restomod," says Kázmér about their extensive re-engineering efforts ensuring each element remains bespoke yet retains classic looks reminiscent of '60s racers' experiences!
