KAMM You Believe It – KAMManufaktur 912c

Modern cars are fat. We don’t meant to body shame them, but, well, they are. A new MINI Clubman weighs fourteen tons. A Qashqai… twenty-three. It’s just silly. So imagine our delight when this press release landed in our inbox. A Porsche 912c, reimagined by KAMManufaktur, that tips the scales at a frankly mind-blowing 699kg. But then, when you make the entire body out of carbon fibre, that’s going to happen.

New for 2024, is the option of a full carbon fibre 912c which sees every body panel replaced by high-quality, KAMM manufactured carbon fibre. With this option, the overall weight is expected to be an incredible 699kg in full road legal trim, a saving of over 300kg compared to a standard 912 and more than 50kg over the semi-carbon model. When choosing the full carbon fibre body, owners can choose from a variety of finish options ranging from a fully-exposed weave to a fully painted classic look.

KAMManufaktur Founder Miklós Kázmér said, “At KAMM we always look for new ways to save weight while also enhancing driving dynamics. With the full carbon 912c we aim to save weight from the back and top of the car to get as close to 50-50 weight distribution as possible.“

This KAMManufaktur 912c is so dedicated to weight saving it has forced the spirit of Colin Chapman to haunt its creators if only to hug them and shake their hands. Plus, that body with the exposed weave proudly on display, makes for a truly giddying visual. It’s a work of art, but one with purpose. This evolution of the company’s previous work brings with it more power, more seating options, improved aero, air-conditioning, and much more. Plus, you know, the unending thrill that will come from driving something so very light and so incredibly agile.

Miklós Kázmér added, “I am a perfectionist and continuously seek innovative new ways to improve the 912c. Our new carbon fibre body is a great example of that, with perfect fit, incredible strength, and further weight saving. In addition, the 2024 912c will offer a range of enhancements to further enhance driving pleasure and give an even more rewarding ownership experience. We look forward to delivering the first client cars early into 2024 and will then show the world our new development car for evaluation later in the year.”

The 2024 full-carbon KAMM 912c is priced at €400,000 in standard specification, including a donor 912. Customers can also choose to donate their own 912 for conversion, priced at €360,000.
