The Porsche 912, originally built by Porsche between 1965 and 1969 as a “cheap” entry-level model, is undergoing an extremely extensive transformation by the Hungarian company KAMM (KAMManufaktur). The newly released one 912c Restomod breaks with the traditional image of “911 of the little man“ and positions itself as a powerful yet lightweight athlete who is unparalleled in the tuning world. The greatest innovation of the 912c lies in its body: one full carbon construction reduces the overall weight of the coupe by an incredible amount 300 kg compared to the original, which reduces the weight to just 699 kg presses. The weight reduction enables an almost perfect Weight distribution of 50:50, which of course significantly improves the driving experience.
