Back then, if you wanted a fast car you had to build it yourself. And it just so happened that one of the mechanics at the garage where young Miki hung out during the school holidays specialised in tuning Volkswagen Beetles. It kickstarted a passion for air-cooled cars that\u2019s remained with him ever since.<\/p>\n<p>But why the 912? It all comes down to weight. Launched in 1965 as an entry-level model, the 912 shared its body and chassis with the original 911. The only significant difference between the two was that the 912 used a 1.6-litre pushrod-operated flat four in place of the 911\u2019s 2-litre overhead cam flat six. Power was down from 130hp to 90hp, but it meant that the 912 was also lighter and better balanced.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-146-of-1881.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"10800\" height=\"7200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>K\u00e1zm\u00e9r wanted to build a lightweight racer for the road that remained true to the original 1960s ethos. In that respect, the 912 already had a head start over the equivalent 911, but KAMM has gone a whole lot further. Most of the steel body panels have been replaced with carbon fibre (an all-composite version is on the way) and there are now lightweight polycarbonate windows, carbon fibre bucket seats and yet more carbon in the interior trim.<\/p>\n<p>The neat thing is that you\u2019d be hard pushed to tell. Sections of the bodywork have deliberately been left in bare carbon fibre on this demonstrator to showcase its composite construction, but otherwise it wouldn\u2019t look out of place on the grid at Goodwood. Even the extensive use of carbon fibre in the interior manages to blend in seamlessly with the black leather alongside.<\/p>\n<p>The end result is a car that weighs just 750kg wet, despite now featuring carefully concealed mod cons like air conditioning. That\u2019s less than a Series 1 Lotus Exige.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Swiss motorsport firm JPS Aircooled has gone to work on the engine. Now enlarged to 2 litres, it runs a modern fuel injection system with a Life Racing ECU. New cylinder heads, a bespoke exhaust system and a higher compression ratio are among the other mods that take the power up to 190hp. That\u2019s more than twice the output of the original 1.6-litre engine, and torque is up by nearly 60 per cent at 228Nm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-82-of-1881.jpg\" alt=\"Kamm, Kamm 912c, 912, 911, 912c, restomod, 911 restomod, classic porsche, porsche 911, air-cooled porsche, motoring, automotive, classic car, retro car, car and classic, carandclassic.com\" width=\"10821\" height=\"7200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All the other mods you\u2019d expect are here too. The 912c rides on lowered and stiffened coilover suspension in place of the original torsion bar setup. It even has cockpit-adjustable electronic damping. There\u2019s also a Porsche competition clutch, a ZF limited slip differential and a beefy set of AP Racing brakes with ventilated discs and a motorsport-style Tilton floor-mounted pedal box.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\"><strong>On the Road<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And so to the road. But first a confession. I\u2019ve never driven a standard 912 (or even a first-generation 911) for comparison. Compared to a G-Series 911, however, there are some interesting contrasts, as well as a lot of similarities.<\/p>\n<p>To start with, the 912c can feel surprisingly intimidating for a small, light car. There\u2019s a real heft to the controls at low speeds and the competition clutch is quite abrupt. And while the re-engineered gearshift mechanism is more positive than that on a lot of old 911s, it\u2019s still quite notchy when cold. The unusual dogleg layout also meant that I spent the first 20 minutes in perpetual fear of getting the wrong gear and doing untold damage to the engine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-102-of-188-1800x1200.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I didn\u2019t. Not least because it\u2019s a truly magnificent powerplant. It\u2019s tractable enough at low revs, although there\u2019s not the instant low-speed torque you\u2019d get from a modern engine. As the revs climb, however, it comes alive. The long-travel throttle pedal responds with laser-guided precision, and there\u2019s a hard-edged percussive bark to the induction noise that\u2019s utterly addictive.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s particularly exhilarating over the last few thousand rpm. Lift off the throttle and the revs drop with racing car abruptness before you hook the next gear and it all takes off again. The best part is that while the 912c feels genuinely quick \u2013 it comfortably dropped the 1980s 3.2 Carrera that we brought along for comparison \u2013 it\u2019s not so ballistic that you can\u2019t deploy a reasonable chunk of that performance on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The chassis mods mean that this 912 is more than capable of living with that extra power. KAMM will build a car from any 912 that you choose, but this example is based on a 1968 model, which still uses the short wheelbase chassis found on the very first 911s. The following year, Porsche added 57mm to the wheelbase to curb the tendency for lift-off oversteer. And yet with the improved weight distribution of the 912 and the revised suspension on this car you\u2019re rarely aware of that pendulum effect in normal driving.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-156-of-1881-1800x1200.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You do still need to manage the weight transfer \u2013 go into a corner too quickly and the front end will wash wide in the same way that it will in 911s right up to this day. Given a bit more time (and preferably a bit more runoff area) you could doubtlessly harness the 912\u2019s unique weight distribution to your advantage \u2013 loading the nose on the way into the corners and using it to pivot the short wheelbase Porsche in the same way that Walter R\u00f6hrl and Bj\u00f6rn Waldeg\u00e5rd once did. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>At higher speeds you get the slightly floaty front end that\u2019s another early Porsche trademark. But get the rear end hooked up and there\u2019s a seemingly inexhaustible reserve of traction coming out of the corners \u2013 a sensation that\u2019s amplified by sitting even further forwards than you would in a modern 911.<\/p>\n<p>The whole point is that this is not a car that offers instant gratification. You need to learn it and you need to actively <em>drive<\/em> it. We only the scratched the surface in the few blissful hours that we had with the 912c, but that was long enough for it to work its magic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/06\/High-Resolution-Kamm-912C-Jurassic-Coast-Shoot-62-of-188-1800x1200.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #036300;\"><strong>Daily Racer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first iteration of the 912c, previewed last year, came with a more track-biased setup. We didn\u2019t drive the car in that form, but the slightly slower steering rack (still a responsive 2.5 turns lock-to-lock down from 1.7) and the more pliant suspension now fitted to the car seem like a good compromise for the road.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a distinctly hardcore edge \u2013 think GT3 Touring rather than Carrera 4 \u2013 but it\u2019s a car that feels like it would be capable of covering long distances. The engine is gloriously vocal, but the creaks and rattles that you often get elsewhere in an older car are notably absent. In fact, everything that you touch feels solid and tactile in a distinctly Porsche kind of way.<\/p>\n<p>Solid enough to justify the \u20ac360,000 asking price (or \u20ac320,000 if you provide your own 912 donor car)?
