KAMM Manufaktur's pursuit of perfection in the iconic Porsche 912 takes a thrilling turn with its latest unveiling. The 2024 model marks the zenith of their restomod craft, boasting a sleek carbon fiber body that significantly reduces its weight. While carbon-clad Porsche 911s are commonplace, the unassuming 912 often fades into obscurity. This 1,541-pound carbon-bodied 912 stands out among Porsche devotees.

Porsche 912c Specs, Features and Pricing

The 912c is the improved version of its predecessor. It thoroughly enhanced the original Porsche 912 to elevate its performance and overall appeal, all while preserving the inherent charm of the classic car.

Motor1.com provided details about this latest development. Porsche 912c is equipped with a complete carbon fiber body kit, shedding over 661 pounds (300 kilograms) of excess weight. The modified vehicle now boasts an impressively low weight of 1,541 lbs (699 kg), available with either an exposed weave or a painted exterior finish. This strict weight reduction optimizes weight distribution to approximately 50:50.

Additionally, in 2024, the 912c features enhancements in aerodynamics, upgraded air conditioning, improved audio and phone connectivity, along with fresh seating choices.

The 912c is also offered in a semi-carbon setup, boasting a weight of 750 kg (1,653 lbs). Deliveries are slated to start in early 2024, with KAMM assuring that each car will be entirely unique, devoid of any duplicates.

Reports shared the KAMM 912c starts as a donor 912, receiving extensive chassis and body restoration. Customers can opt for a semi-carbon or full-carbon body, with the latter being lighter but more expensive, including Lexan polycarbonate glass and carbon fiber side mirrors. The exterior is painted to the customer's preference, retaining the original body trim.

JPS Aircooled, Swiss engine specialists, have upgraded the 912 four-cylinder engine to 2.0 liters, producing 190 horsepower in KAMM's "fast road/track day" configuration. Transmission options include a five-speed dogleg manual, with choices between track-oriented and road-use gear ratios. Titanium or Inconel exhaust systems are available.

The suspension features a five-way electronically adjustable coilover system by Tractive, and the vehicle is equipped with AP Racing brakes, a ZF limited-slip rear differential, and a selection of four wheel styles.

About Porsche 912

As shared on Hemmings.com, the 912E was produced from 1976, whereas the 912 was produced from 1966 to 1969. Both versions developed similarly to the 911. These versions differ mostly in engines.

The 356 engine wasn't revived in 1975 since it didn't have a factory or meet U.S. emissions rules. The 912E used the Volkswagen four-cylinder engine from the obsolete 914, which replaced the 912 in 1970.

The 912s debuted in Europe in April 1965. On the other hand, the 356's popularity delayed their U.S. sale until September.

Some drawbacks of the 912 engine include a relatively delicate crankshaft, challenges in maintaining optimal tuning for Solex carburetors, and specific emissions-related problems particular to the 1968 models.
