The KAMManufaktur company from Budapest presented a modified version of its KAMM 912c restomod, made on the basis of the Porsche 912 coupe from the 60s of the last century . The new version has a completely carbon fiber body and a more powerful engine.
KAMManufaktur is a young but ambitious workshop of Miklos Kazmer: it is new to the high-tech restomoding market, but has already achieved recognition among connoisseurs of this genre of tuning. The secret of KAMManufaktur's success is the high professionalism of the craftsmen, the desire to make the car as light as possible and an atypical tuning object – the Porsche 912, and not the much more promoted sister model Porsche 911.
The Porsche 912 was born in 1965 as a more affordable, budget version of the Porsche 911 with a 90-horsepower 1.6-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine from the Porsche 356. In fact, the Porsche 912 became a replacement for the Porsche 356 and marked the entry into the Porsche line the youngest family of sports cars – today this niche is occupied by the Porsche 718. A restomod from Hungarian masters based on the Porsche 912 was named KAMM 912c, it was announced last year and completely declassified last summer, and now a lightweight version with the Carbon prefix has arrived.

To manufacture the KAMM 912c, a donor Porsche 912, produced between 1965 and 1969, is required. The KAMManufaktur company itself can find a donor car or take into work a copy that the client has, but one must understand that in the end there will be little left of the donor, or rather, only a restored and reinforced body frame, all other components will be completely new.
The standard KAMM 912c costs 360,000 euros (the cost of the donor car is included) and has a combined body shell made of steel and carbon fiber, the windows are made of Lexan polycarbonate, this restomod weighs 750 kg.

The KAMM 912c Carbon version for 400,000 euros (the cost of the donor car is included) has all the skin made of carbon fiber, including headlight rims, rear bumper “fangs” and rear-view mirrors; only part of the fittings remains metal. In combination with carbon fiber wheels, a completely new skin made it possible to reduce the weight of the car to a sensational 699 kg, which is more than 300 kg less than the weight of the original stock Porsche 912. The extremely lightweight Swiss restomod Sportec Sub1000 weighing 990 kg based on the classic Porsche 911 seems dwarfed by the KAMM 912c Carbon a real heavyweight.
In conjunction with the premiere of the KAMM 912c Carbon, the Hungarian company announced an expansion of the palette of finishing materials and accessories for its restomod, as well as a more powerful engine, but has not yet revealed the details. The standard KAMM 912c is equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder air-cooled JPS 616 boxer engine from the Swiss company JPS Aircooled (which produces replicas of classic Porsche engines). KAMManufaktur supplies the Swiss engine with its own electronic fuel injection system, a titanium exhaust system and a carbon fiber cooling casing. Maximum engine output is 190 hp. and 228 Nm, all power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a modified Porsche 5-speed manual transmission and a ZF limited-slip differential. The chassis features adjustable TracTive adaptive shock absorbers and powerful AP Racing ventilated disc brakes.
