Featherweight of 1,653 Pounds Already Achieved
KAMManufaktur has declared the arrival of a fresh choice for its Porsche 912-style restomod, promising to manufacture it with a body solely out of carbon fiber. When debited in 2022, the first model showcased heftily featured the lightweight material but still contained some components made of steel, for example, the roof and hind quarters. The grade-up substantially reduced the total weight to a minute 1,653 pounds.
“At KAMM, we’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to reduce weight without compromising driving dynamics,” declared Miklos Kazmer, founder of the company. “The full carbon 912c is designed to reduce weight from the top and rear of the car in order to achieve a close-to 50-50 weight distribution.”
With this improvement, the KAMM 912c now tips the scales at only 1,541 lbs, representing a hefty 661-lb decrease when compared to its ordinary 912c, as well as exceeding more than 110 lbs lighter than the formerly supplied semi-carbon body — which is still accessible for ordering.
The full carbon build can be provided in an array of treatments including an option to have it completely painted or totally exposed. Moving on to another novelty for the calendar year 2024, there is a fully customized design process that enables customers to collaborate with the company’s owner and creators to realize any visionary idea. During the course of this journey, they get to decide the models of seats and rims, the type of materials used, finishes to be applied and the type of livery given to their car, bearing in mind that an exposed finish was not initially chosen.
Revamping the model, changes include an even mightier air-cooled four-cylinder engine, new KAMM-crafted seat options, heightened aerodynamics to diminish sound from the wind and heighten high-speed steadiness, a sophisticated air-conditioner system, a stronger audio element, and brand new phone integration components.

KAMManufaktur might not have the same high-profile as other distinguished restomod brands akin to Singer, yet its craftsmanship is apparently extraordinary – and priced accordingly. The half carbon KAMM 912c has a cost of no less than 360,000 EUR ($393,000); however, if you already possess a 912, that expense reduces to €320,000 ($349,000). On the other hand, should you pick out the full carbon version, it would price tag the same €360,000 but with a supplied 912 and an intimidating €400,000 ($436,000) without.
For the amount of money being discussed, you could buy a 911 GT3 RS and still have enough extra to purchase a regular GT3 as a vehicle for every day use. Then again, individuals who acquire cars in this price range probably already own both those automobiles in their expansive automobile collections.
